I have a Dell inspiron 6000. It's a few years old. It started annoying me with how slow it was running for the last 8 months so I decided to do a full windows XP reinstall. I thought that would clean it up and get it running clean and fast like when I bought it. I use it mostly for internet. I reinstalled all my programs but it's still running slow on the internet.....especially flash based stuff such as facebook games...and youtube videos come across real choppy. Download speeds seem good though.
Here's what I've done so far
1. reinstalled windows
2. installed drivers and programs (open office, firefox, thunderbird, limewire(haven't used yet), adaware, avast, spybot,full tilt poker, itunes, paint.net, spyware blaster, VLC, Hijackthis
3. download flash 10 and shockwave.......(in uninstalled this once and reinstalled again...still slow)
Anyone have any ideas on how to get the computer running faster especially with internet or with flash?
Here's my hijack this:
