i'm working on a toshiba laptop, has XP home.
problem: its constipated.
everything is slow. i turn it on and go to play pinball, it gives me the hourglass and nothing gets done. everything stops responding, and "Iexplore" takes 99% of my cpu, everything else takes nothing.
safe mode seems to be fine...so far.
i tried disabling all the startup stuff in msconfig through afemode and rebooting, still constipated.
i ran chkdsk, fixed nothing. i did the recovery CD's, same problem within 10 mins of getting it up.
any ideas would be appreciated, its a freinds and i want to LAN against him (i'm typing this on the ailienware desktop)
thanks, quick replies are always appreciated.
