i have a HP pavilion zv 5000 wireless laptop (since 2004).
windows x/p o/s. intel(r) pentium(r) 4 CPU 2.80 ghz
192 MB of ram.
netgear wireless n 300 router
i run the avira personal anti-virus
windows defender anti-spyware
spybot search and destroy- no viruses have been detected.
google chrome is my browser
i purchased advanced systemcare professional.
the laptop is very slow, booting up, browsing the internet even with chrome, working on word, powerpoint, excel, etc.
i hate to give it up because it has a large screen,and it is durable.
is there anything that i can do to speed it up?
I am intermediate tech-wise, but my son can do anything with a computer.
if i have to install more memory, or anything else, he can do it.
i've re-installed xp twice already using the recovery disk. it ran faster for awhile,
but that doesn't last long.
please advise.
thank you.
