Incredible Slowdoan
1. Click My Computer, and I get the search flashlight for 5-10 seconds before anything appears.
2. Word doesn't load.
3. QB and other apps load very slowly, and sometimes only appear as processes (not applications)
4. 'Server Busy' appears 2-3 times a day
5. When I reboot, I get 'Notificatoin Wnd for RNAdmin'
6. First message running Norton Disk Doctor is it can't find a partitioned drive, though I don't have one. Program proceeds normally after that
7. After running Nortin AV, I got RT error R6025, Pure virtual function call
8. Have seen RT error 90, permission denied
9. Have seen 'not enough quote is available to process this command'
10 Some apps simply don't load
I have tried the following:
1. Norton AV (clean, I was hit with SIrcam)
2. Ad-aware (spyware): detected items, then clean
3. Norton DIsk Doctor: clean
4. Scandisk
5. Defrag
6. Re-installed XP
I've installed some programs that don't uninstall (McAfee AV, Verizon DSL diagnostics).
I've also downloaded and tried some diagnotic tools. Some provide numbers that I can't do much with, others don't start.
Things were fine for more than a year. This machine is the server on a fairly inactive p2p network.
Any ideas? I'm practically at a standstill. Thank you very much.
