slow
in [Windows XP]

From: Sanford Aranoff on 3 Dec 2009 10:53 During the past several weeks my XP SP3 has slowed down. Other people have the same issue. We think this is due to automatic updates that slow the machines down. Done deliberately, we believe. How can we restore the system to its previous state, say, 2 months ago without losing recent stuff?

It boots up in 39 seconds from the time I push the off/on until the desktop loads. Programs open very quickly and I have no performance issues. > How can we restore the system to > its previous state, say, 2 months ago without losing recent > stuff? I trust you have all your data backed up, right? I would be inclined to say you are probably infected by malware. Run anti malware scans and your anti virus scan. What anti virus/anti malware programs do you have? Another possibility is that your hard drive is set to PIO due to a power outage. C
