UNSOLVED
SLOW MACHINE..even after taking action.
I have a P3 Demension XPS T600mhz w/128 megs RAM. It had been running pretty well, but soon I realized it was running ungodly slow! I used the msconfig to take out all the uneeded programs running in the background. I used some Registry cleaner to try to wipe out some of the registry, looked like it took forever, probably had a lot of excess waste in the registry. I SCANDISK, I Defragged, BUT ITS STILL SLOW!!!! WHY???????? I can't figure this out. It is really slow, takes a few seconds to even open up a sub menu when you right click on an icon on the desktop, this computer might as well be a 486! please help...

Hi,
Try doing a really good system cleanup by:
1. Click Start > Shut Down > Restart In MS-DOS Mode > OK.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands, pressing ENTER after each command and pressing Y if you are prompted to confirm folder deletion:
cd\windows
deltree cookies
deltree history
deltree downlo~1
deltree tempor~1
exit
The temp cleanup might take awhile!
After doing this go HERE and follow the instructions for System Maintance.
