when i try to install anything even windows update it
will lag for an hour or so then go through . when
removing a program or uninstall it will do the same thing
also will slow down the computer.

Windows XP (Build 2600) Service Pack 1
browser: Microsoft IE Build 6.0.2800.1106
video: 800 x 600 , True Color (32 bit)
processer: x86 Family 6 Model 8 Stepping 6
cpu make: Intel P3
speed: 931
 
Try disk cleanup then defrag disk in tools.
Update is usually controlled by youre internet connection
speed,plus the time of day.You might also R.click add/
remove programs,create a shrtcut,in the desktop see if
it runs faster than in control-panel.Try 800x600 high
color for better display.
 
all my updates are downloaded befor installing, it is
after download that the install stalls. not only installs
but uninstall could i need more RAM?
