I found my laptop has become very slow. After log-in it takes almost 2 min for it to be useable. Also when I open an IE or a program it takes a few seconds longer than it used to take to open up. I know computers so I already did a defrag, spyware scan, deleted temp files, deleted prefetch files, disabled some start-up programs, and disabled some background programs. I have a 40gb hd with roughly 13gb of free space. I also have 1gb of memory. Is there something else I should try?? I would hate to have to start from scratch again with a clean install of XP but the slowness is bugging.
