We recently cleaned my PC here at work (DELL Optiplex, P4, 3.2 GHz processor,
2 GB RAM): We booted from the XP Pro CD, deleted the partition, created a new
one, formatted it, and installed Windows XP Pro SP2.
Now, I have finally gotten all of my applications installed (Visual Studio
Pro, Microsoft Office), downloaded all of the Service Packs, all of the
Updates from MS, etc.
To my dismay, this PC is now running much slower than it did before.
For example: Starting a new email or Word document takes close to 60 seconds
to complete, and in my task manager, it never gets over 20% CPU utilization.
Is there something I need to tweak? What could I look for to make this
system cook like it is supposed to?
