my pc is SO SLOW now. It runs better with window blinds disabled now. Is there an app I can tell window blinds to ignore? Why is my sys SO slow? I have 256 megs of ram Xp home and a 1.7 gig processor. Help?

Just in general though, with or without SP1, it certainly wouldn't hurt to add more memory if you're running XP. At least to bring it up to a total of 512 IMO.

Start11 - Customize the Start Menu and Taskbar in Windows 10/11.

I was going through the sys restore and they are 2 updates loaded. up date Q327979 (the one I was talking about) and Windows update V4. What is Windows update V4? I dont even remember loading it? could that cause the problem?

People ran their machines a long time with no problems before SP1 came out and considering your machine doesn't run with it, I would say you would be better off without it.......

i don't have it and i have been running stable since march
