say your using WinME, and upgrade to XP, XP wont work good cuz its upgraded off the worst windows version ever. :P
Don't upgrade through the "upgrade option for XP".

I've had problems first hand whereby it brings up an error msg each time it starts looking for a dll file from a program I never knew existed. It makes more sense to start off fresh

:wtf:, uhhh, i'm running a PIII 866 on xp and it runs just fine thank you very much, and thats with 256 *SD*RAM not DDR, and it runs very smoothly, u just gotta know how to tak ecare of it.... I recommend upgrading to XP, much more advanced.... and the upgrade worries isn't an issue unless u have gator stuff and other spyware already installed, in which case its a pain in the a*s, so u might as well reformat

i have an old P2 400mhz computer in the corner that has 256MB of SD ram on it....... We use it as a server for the LAN sometimes.

but anywho. it has XP on that and runs perfectly also. XP doesnt require much. it only requires 128MB of ram.

Hmm.. thats harsh.. But human virus should be left for those with umm.. computer knowledge. But my advice for your computer is what I tell most people who call Earthlink Tech support install the computer explode button and push repeatedly

Why? If the topic is still up-to-date, it doesn't matter if it's months old.

Please do shut up.

1) Try rebooting your PC, if you haven't already

2) Reinstall the card and make sure you have current drivers for it

3) Scan for viruses and spyware. Remove any you find

4) Defrag your PC. It will be in you Accessories section under Programs

5) Get XP. Professional if possible.

PCs run fine if you take care of them. Learning only a few maintenance techniques will keep your PC running like new for years regardless of what you do with it.
