[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 744710, member: 60724"] If running Windows XP try any/all the following: 1) Defrag the hard drive 2) Bootup in Safe Mode with network connection and see browsing is any faster. 3) Create a new user, login as them, and see if the machine is faster. 4) Run a program like AdAware to remove spyware, trojans. 5) Don't run Google Desktop, Google IE bar, AIM; Yahoo IE bar; or any other IE toolbars for that matter; and if you can, run Firefox instead of IE. 6) Don't launch anything unncessary at startup (stuff in your task tray should be at a min). 7) Use Free AVG instead of McAffee or Nortons for AV. Good luck. Once you do all, most of those above you will have tuned your system, and if it is running better and on the Internet faster then you are good to go. If not, you may want to test your DSL speed (www.speedtest.net). TJR [/QUOTE]
