titus52 0 Posted January 20, 2005 I am using windows98/pentium 2. The system just crawls. I mean it Takes a long long time to load anything. I have a up-to-date anti-virus, anti-spyware and also the registry mechanic. Tried all of this but the damn thing is still so slow. I use dial-up internet connection-AOL. Hope that isn't the problem. Can't be, because even when I haven't signed on to the internet, it still is very very slow. Pls..pls...anyone with suggestions, ideas ...help me ! Thanx ;( ;( Share this post Link to post
Folstag 0 Posted February 5, 2005 you probably need to upgrade your hardware aol is coming out with diferent versions that need more power so id say you need to upgrade to a celeron or p4 then youd probably get better results Share this post Link to post
Sampson 0 Posted February 5, 2005 You might want to run some of the spyware programs like Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy. Since you are using Win98, it might just be time for a clean install. Colloquially speaking, Win98 suffers from "dry rot." Not a very good technical term; it just means that drivers and .dlls lose their "resiliance" not also to say that with repeated installation and re-inststallation other programs have left a residue on the hard drive and often in memory that bogs a system down. Backup all your data; get out our disks and clean format the thing. You can find the unofficial Service Packs for Win98 here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4131.html if you don't have a fast connection to Microsoft to update your original CD.
