Laptop running XP was incredibly slow, and a bit of messing about i found out it was the "hardware interrupts" causing it, and this was due to IDE controller drivers. so a uninstall and a reboot and the PC perked up a lot.
But its still slow, and I'm running some virus and spyware scans but they all cause cpu usage to be100% and obviously then take much longer than normal
It's a Pentium M 1.8GHz with 1gb of ram so it shouldn't be this slow or take up that much resources.
Only thing I've managed to complete was ccleaner. any ideas on root causes and solutions?
And trying it in safe mode now, it's ridiculously slow.
