Topic: Slow PC?

[Big_Boss]

Hi, after installing SP1 for XP a few days ago, my computer has been a lot slower than it used to be and im not sure why. Im just about to do a defrag, see if that helps.

Does anyone have any other ideas.
Thanks,

I also chose to archive files when i installed SP1.

You will just have to keep abreast of stuff like this BB by reading the whole forum

It does seem strange that theyre making the fix available free of charge for people affected but not putting an update on their updates site

Excuse me if im wrong but, isnt that a security patch being applied to systems with SP1 installed. My PC has slowed considerably just by installing SP1 or SP1a as its now called.

The only thing i can think of is, SP1a, the newer version of the service pack, already contains this slow security fix.

You could be right, BB.  I installed SP1 when it first came out, and had no problems until the latest 'fix' came along, which I duely installed, resulting in things slowing down significantly.

Personally, I don't consider it life threatening, so I'm waiting for the next patch to be released, which should hopefully resolve things back to 'normal'.

Maybe you are right BB as I hadnt realised 1a was out and assumed you had my version and had applied the updates :-[

I'll get you one day though  
Only joking
