Post #1
Just wondering if anything is wrong here! The computer is running a pretty slow. Take your time! (*** My actual email is [removed])the one specified on my account listing. The computer (Dell Latitude D610 Laptop)WinXPro has been running excessively slow as of recent. I have installed a WINbar (cpu monitor) and I have a couple of anti- spyware programs too. Do you see anything wrong with this? Ive posted the log file and the startup list for you.
