Hi,
Lately I've been having trouble with my system speed, especially for the first while after startup. It appears that part of the problem is explorer.exe, which is at the moment using 950,668 K of memory. I am very confused because this is not supposed to be a RAM-hungry process, and it's using almost half my memory. I've done virus scans with both Sophos and Avira, and have ThreatFire installed. My system specs are:
Make: Dell
Model: Vostro 400
OS: Windows xp professional sp3 32-bit
processor: Intel core 2 quad
graphics card: Nvidia GT 8800
RAM: 3.0 GB
