Vista - Programs take too long to open

08-30-2008

Hello,
I am running Windows XP Home Edition SP2 Pentium 4 Processor
2.53GHz 512MB Memory PC 1066 RDRAM (2x256 modules)
My programs take too long to open.
I've deleted Temporary internet files,history & Cookies along with TEMP files.
I've done a defrag and deleted many files on my hard drive which is 110GB
54GB free.
Cleared Recent file folder and ran Ad a Ware, Spybot and AVG. My Firewall is
only Zone Alarm, I turned off Windows Firewall thinking the 2 may be causing
the delays.
Any suggestions? I already re-formatted my entire computer.

thank you

Yes, get more memory. You'll be pleasantly surprised how much faster your
system will be with 1 Gig, or even 2 Gigs of memory.
