Laptop Slow

Anil Kumar · 12-21-2007, 11:52 PM

Hi,
I have a HP- Compaq NC2400 Laptop. It comes with a Intel Core Duo U 2500 processor @ 1.2ghz, Ram of 1 GB and HDD of 60GB. there are 2 partitions on the hdd one for the recovery and the balance is one partition where the OS (WIn xpp service pack 2) and all the other data/softwares reside. Other than this I have also installed Office 2007 and use the Outlook client for official mails.
The problem is that the system is quite slow and some time freezes for a couple of seconds even on normal functions.
I have a anti defrag software from Diskkeeper installed and do a defrag regularly despite which the speed is not imporving. Currently around 60% of the hdd space is used up.
Kindly advise what may be the problem for the machine being slow and propose a solution.

Anil

have you deleted the temporary files on your system? If not, try these steps from microsoft

or you can use ccleaner from ccleaner.com and it will auto delete the temporary files on your system.

If that does not help, go to your task manager and click on the performance tab, post the info under physical memory.

Is office 2007 a new install or did the problems seem to start after installing it?
