MY computer is very slow it consumes a lot of time opening any application. I have an Intel pentium 4 processor and 256 mb ram And a 40 GB hard drive. I have deleted mostly everything from my computer and no extra programs are installed. My computer also dont have any viruses. I have an internet connection. Please help me as it is taking my toll. All answer will be appreciated.

You are basically stuck with what you got speed wise. You have such little RAM it isn't worth telling you to do anything other then build a new system. Reformat if you think the system is running extremely slow or if you haven't in a long while. I'd suggest using Windows XP if you aren't already, and nothing higher.

Basically your RAM is a huge factor in why your system is so slow.

With a system that old, you have a couple options...
live with it or get money from somewhere to do a new build.

1. use windows xp
2. right click my computer, properties > advanced tab > Settings under performance> advanced > virtual memory (change) > check custom size ,then set minimum and max to 4096
3.right click my computer, properties > advanced tab > performance > check adjust for best performance [ your pc will look like windows 2000

-- if you are geting in some game ctrl+alt+delete> look for explorer.exe and finish it... [NOTE: it will get out of your toolbar ˙or however you call it) and there will no longewr be any icons on your desktop ] then when you wana to icons appear and everything else that dissapeared just ctrl+ald+delete > file >new task... run > then just write explorer.exe + get out of all unnecesary programs

that is what i do on my old PC... i hope i helped Very Happy

Well you can upgrade your hard disk and RAM for better speed because if you are using internet and download any movies from internet then your computer cannot perform high speed due to low space of hard disk and RAM.

I doubt he'd be able to find reasonably priced RAM considering it would probably be using DDR1. You'd be better off buying a netbook because even then you'd achieve better performance.

Awesome suggestions Wink Maybe some of them can help me as well. I had to laugh hardly when you suggested Win 98. It was really fun to use it back then, but I'm a windows fan since this time, although some things were really shitty!

I started using AVG Pc Tuneup today, but I didn't really notice any difference in speed.
Might work better for you though.

with a computer that old my best bet for you would be downloading and installing puppylinux as it is like the lightest of the light and functions well.

Just to confirm, you think his hard disk and RAM speed is the bottleneck when downloading movies?
