My family computer is about 5 years old.
It worked fine for the things we used it for.
Untill my 2year old started playing with it.
It is so slow, and the longer it runs iddle the slower it gets.
It sound like the HD is constandly busy,and every thing is slow.
When it gets to bad I just restart it and it will be good enouch for 30 min.
My original restore cd is missing and using a friends disk
how do i restore??
even the simple programs are slow.
cd creator 6 don't work anymore,not even the drag to disk option.

thx Henk

ps using 98se
 
What is the OS that you are using?
Also, check the running processes as if you see somthing that you don't recognise, try to kill it.

after that, buy the 2 year old his/her own computer, LOL :)

I've got a set of twins,and when they were about 2 1/2 years old
they knew how to connect to the net with dail up.
They are almost 5 now and have more comp. knowhow than many adults.:D
 
First try anti-virus software like the people above suggested. If that doesn't work, try doing a goold old fasioned defrag....if you've never done it or haven't done it for a while, you'll be surprised the difference it will make.
