Here are my system specs: Pentium 4 2.8@3.2Ghz 800Mhz 1GB DDR-400 ATI X1600PRO 512MB 370 GB MAXTOR 7200RPM 16MB All FAT32 SB AUDIGY2 I got very slow pc performance,especially in DirectX/OpenGL based games. Even in old games like Half-life 1,the game was unplayable in 1024X768(5-10FPS). Windows XP was like a crawling snail all the way. Did a spyware scan using Ad-aware and Avast but nothing came out. BIOS Settings was at its maximum. Only two programs were loaded at startup according to HijackThis: Logitech Mouse Application and Keyboard shortcut application. Free RAM at Windows startup: 738MB RAM. Could anyone,please,end my misery and tell me what's slowing down my system to a bloody pulp?

Sorry to post again,but I MUST disable XP Luna theme and use Classic theme in order to Windows comfortably. Is it because the visual styles is putting a huge strain on my crap hardware??

I believe there is a known problem on logitech mouse driver software but only affect other i/o devices if bad It sounds alot like it could be a memory problem or an os problem as i have been able to fix this way on two seperate occasions you may be able to speed it up by running utility software clean up the registry and combo of defrag deleting un needed temp files cleaning out your cache I have one that I aquired for free after rebate when i bought my tax software and it works fine I recently cleaned my pc with it and notice a big difference in performance while you are thinking about that you can reseat your memory and video card to see if it makes a difference running out of virtual memory can cause pc's to run slow how full it your hdd?

My C: Drive has 6GB out of 10GB. D drive has 90 GB out of 100GB. Drive E has 220GB out of 223GB. I put my Swap file on the fastest hard disk. I believe there is no hardware problem as no blue screens were encountered. I disabled Logitech startup utilities but Windows XP was as slow as ever. And so were 3D games. I don't know.
