Hi all, I was wondering if you could help me. I am using an AMD 2600 with 750mg RAM and I am running Windows XP pro with the service pack 2 installed.
Now...somewhere along the line after reformatting my computer about 4 months ago due to a dodgy installation of Service Pack 2 which through no fault of my own decided it was going to not let me get back into Windows after a reboot....well anyways after I reformatted and put windows Xp pro back on, this time the first thing that I did was install the service pack...
...so fast forward 3-4 months and now for some reason my computers hardware seems to be very taxed by something or some program. For instance if I have winamp running and playing tunes, when I open up another application winamp will start stuttering and it takes a long time for the other app to come up, if I move my mouse across the screen it will move in jumps instead of smoothly...
I, for the life of me cant think of what may be causing this, it has been happening for about 2 weeks so I cant remember exactly what program installation might have caused it. If I CTRL ALT DEL and close all apps, it will still happen...
Any clue as to what may be causing it, and/or how I might detect what is causing it?
Thanks very muchly.
Cheers.
