Dear All,
I am using a laptop with the following configuration:
HP ZE 2000
Intel Pentium 1.60GHz
512 RAM
55 GB HD
I've purhcased this used laptop about a week ago. After getting it, I've formatted the hard drive and Installed Windows XP SP2 and MS Office from a CD and downloaded following programs for my use.
AVAST Antivirus Professional Addition Demo Version
Yahoo Messenger
Adobe Acrobat Reader
Alibaba Trade Manager
Running Windows Update
With the above installion my sound was not working and updated the driver from the Device Manager and then it worked.
After Installing above mentioned programs, the laptop was running good.
However, after a while, when I turned on, it was running very slow and then
once I hooked UTP cable to the LAN Card to use the Internet and it was running even more slower, jut like crashing.
I've looked at the processes. It had 28 processes running and nothing suspicious.
Just now, once again, I reformatted it again and Installed Windows XP SP2 and turned off windows update and installed following programs.

Super Antware
Any suggestions as to why this is happening... So far, I have reinstalled XP 4 times and it worked for a while and then again back to square one. So, my understanding is once you reinstall the problem is fixed and it comes back.
Regards,
MRC
