My Dimension 3000 is so slow!
I have run various spyware programs to remove unwanted programs but it is still painfully slow. I was told I should back everything up, wipe it clean, and re-install windows XP. Anybody got easy to follow instructions for how to do this? I have all the software disks that came with my original purchase.
