different comp...different problem

[~*~Br0k3n~*~]

have a compaq presario with a 2.5Ghz intel celeron processor with 128MB DDR SDRAM memory and a 40GB ultra DMA hard drive
using windows xp home version and have CA Internet Security Suite

Problem is it's slow and seems to take a long time when rebooting (takes more than 5 mins for everything to load up)...Question is,can anything be done to make it run faster??

Upgrading the amount of memory would help. Also, try cleaning out all your old files. A good program for this is CCleaner.
