I just got my old pc set up again and its shockingly slow. 80% cpu usage at idle and with a 5 year old pc thats not much left. Thing is ive deleted most things. The rest is either corrupted and cant be deleted or absolutly essential. Ive used about 5 gb so far. I realy realy need to format it. But i dont have any os discs ecept windows 95. Where can i get xp cheap? Or atleast software to speed it up again. Much appreciated, steve
 
I got it from **** with xp installed and they refuse to give you the disk. It might well be virus filled as it had one but checks found nothing and i searched most files and deleted most. The processes are all giberish to me. And it wont let me put norton on ( crashes while reading any disk.) it dosnt have internet either so i cant use avg

No competitors
 
Cheers guys. I cba with downloads and stuff so ill buy a new one. But with it that pricy ill get something else. Either vista or thw w7 beta. Speaking of which everywhere says its nolonger avalible for free download. Could you point me to a working page? Thanks.
 
And sorry about the competators. I thought that was only if you where refering people to other places for cheap parts. To clarify Personaly i will never use before said retailer as they caused this problem. Next time i will biuld myself a pc and insall a clean coppy. Go OCUK!

I guess atleast i wont be shelling out ~£150 for an old crappy pc. My grandad is also giving me his old pc and has a legit coppy of xp. Maybe i could borrow that till i get W7?
