Windows Xp Problem My windows xp has been slow recently for awhile and is getting slower each week. I have done the following in my attempt to speed it up... virus scan - it removed allot of junk registry cleaner - it cleaned allot of registry errors uninstalled many programs that were not in use anymore cleaned out temporary files disabled suspicious unknown start-up items I recently installed Windows Defender on the XP which found one Trojan at a med-high dangerous level. Been having problems still with these viruses, something is probably reproducing. I have checked for updates using the one feature in the control panel. Is there any free updates from Microsoft you know of that would help? Any recommendations on how i can speed up my family's windows XP computer? Thanks, Brandon
heres the dxdiag report Sorry about the late response, my brother is always playing games on the XP. I attached the report to my post....
IMO get rid of Windows Defender as I've not heard of it being of much good. Do a search for CrapCleaner and download and run it. http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ Another one to try is AusLogic Disk Defrag . http://www.auslogics.com/disk-defrag
Ill give the first link a try, the second one is disk defragment which i did already from the control panel. I personally like windows defender because it has found viruses and other harmful files much faster than the virus program on the XP. Widows defender also has a few other useful tools. I have cleaned the registry on the XP with a program. That XP computer feels hopeless.
