I have uninstalled programs that I don't use or really need.
I changed the Primary IDE channel from PIO to (Ultra DMA 2) like I was referred to do.
http://forum.digital-digest.com/showthread.php?t=61905(I didn't install the driver like it said at the bottom of the page. If I have to, please let me know.)
I typed (msconfig) and got rid of everything in my startup deal at the bottom-right of the screen. All I have is my anti-virus icon.
I turned off the updates for Java.
I use AVG antivirus. I don't have any other protection running.
I scanned with Malewarebytes several times, but nothing comes up.
I ran Ccleaner.
I don't have additional pics or videos on my computer.
I use Firefox.
Windows Task Manager:
Processes:36 Firefox runs around 126,244K
The computer runs fine for a while, then it takes a while load pages. Especially when I'm on You Tube, Facebook and Myspace.
I don't want to purchase more RAM for such an old computer. Is there anything else I could check for that could be slowing it down? Why would it work fine,but all of a sudden load pages slowly? Any help would be appreciated.
