Slow computer

Im sorry its not 256Mb its 128Mb of memoroy.

It may be due to any number of reasons that may be causing the computer to be slow
You will need to check the drive to see what speed its RPM/5400

128M Memory is the minimum to running W2K and then you will need to consider what type of programs you have installed on the machine that may be memory hogs

Do you have anti-virus running in the background?

Check System Tools and see what programs you have loading at startup,this should apply to programs you have running in the back ground

Clean up the hard drive and defragment the drive,you may want to consider upgrading the memory to 256m

1.If your HDD has more than one partitions move your swap file on other partition on the HDD and make it with constant size - 512MB.
2.Try to delete all files from c:\documents and settings C:\Documents and Settings\%your_account_name%\Local Settings\Temp(%your account name%is the name of the account wich you use to log in).
3. Open The Task Manager go to processes and find out wich processes use the time of the CPU. Try to end them. The computer will go faster when you end them.
4. Reduce resident applications on your computer like Virus scanners, Diskkeeper and etc.
By now in my head are only this ideas. Tomorrow my be I'll have more.
5. Try to format your system partition and reinstall Windows. This WILL help, don't you agree?By now

6. Go to BIOS and Enable your L1 & L2 cache on your CPU.

6. Go to BIOS and Enable your L1 & L2 cache on your CPU.
