Pootas slow as!

[Saysay]

For the past two weeks our pootas bein extremley slow! Clicking on links etc can take upto a minute and sometimes it says it cannot connect to remote server and when you try again it does it with no probs!! Ive checked the whole lot for viruses and also spy summat or other and theres nowt there!!?? Can anybody suggested any reason why all of a sudden its gone slow?

Im on blueyonder dail-up btw!

Cheers!!

Theres loads of things it could be, try runining Disk Cleanup from Start > Accessories > System Tools

also clear your internet explorer cache from the Tools > Options menu in internet explorer.

If its still runing slowly it may be time to consider upgrading your operating system and putting on a fresh install.

or getting blueyonder broadband rather than the dial up

Cleared internet explorer cache (i think!) We're on XP btw!

I'll ask Lee when he gets back from work! Its well pissin me off tho!

We're gonna go to broadband in the new year me thinks!!

Cheers!

Forgot to say i dont use Internet Explorer, i use Opera! Would that have anything to do with it? Is opera to much for a dail-up?

[Bobleeno]

I dunno about Opera much, but used to speed up everything after a good registry clean up. System mechanic from www.iolo.com sorted my mates pc. Win XP seems to fill it up wi loads of crap. My advise is leave well alone until its propper had it
T'aint broke dont fix it.

Deffo dont upload microsoft patches

Cheers Boblenno! Gonna run System Mechanic, give it a clean up!!

Sounds to me Missy like you are full up with spy and adware, if you download Pestpatrol : http://www.pestpatrol.com/ it will tell you what you have on your computer, if you do have any which i would put money on, then you can download a full copy from Kazza etc which will remove your crap.....


hop this helps

Cheers

Cheers peeps! Since running System Mechanic it has been quicker, but not up to scratch! We've got ad-aware, so i'll wait for Lee to get back from work and he can do what needs doin!
