I desperately need help. I recently suscribed to DSL in the UAE and ever since the hardware got plugged in and my computer went online, it has been lagging like hell!
Even when I right-click on the desktop, it takes about 2-3 seconds before the action (the drop-down menu) happens. Now don't get me wrong, I mean, the internet speed has boosted bigtime (I now reach speeds of upto 60kbps when downloading), its just that all programs take a very long time to open, all my videos seem to lag, and so do all my games (even the 2D ones).
I have a P4 1.7 Ghz system (256 MBRam) with a windows XP operating system.
And one more thing, whenever I want to check for viruses on my PC, the virus program (I use Norton 2003) just shuts itself down. This doesn't happen to any other programs apart from anti-virus programs and DOS applications.
Please suggest me... and yes, I have tried online viurs removal techniques, and all they came up with is a virus located on C:\WINNT\explor\explor.exe
Thanks.
