Okay, I have a new issue I am trying desperately to resolve. Approximately a month or so ago I submitted a thread addressing the excessive CPU sources used by I.E.8. Elizabeth suggested I change to a new browser since I.E.8 had so many "problem" holes. So, I switched to Firefox 2.2 (I believe). Anyway, when I click on CCleaner to clean out my Temporary files, I am shocked to discover that not only Internet Explore has accumulated a number of "temp. files" ( sometimes 245 or more), but Firefox has also accumulated the same amount--or more-- of temp files and Internet cache files. The strange thing is: I haven't been using Internet Explorer 8. Or are these temp. and cache files automatically loaded via the svchost processes?
I know my computer is not blazing fast with only a 1.2GHz CPU. But my system in the past did run faster than it is presently running.
I installed SuperAntiMalware but can only run the software in SAFE MODE with Administrative privileges. Running it in Normal mode, it generally locks up. I also installed Housecall Launcher but get frequent Error Messages shortly after pressing the SCAN button both in SAFE MODE and NORMAL MODE.
Now I know full well that my system (Windows XP Pro) is not going to run like the wind with a 1.2 GHz Processor and 2.5 Gig of RAM but something has to be wrong when I can open a program, run over to my local Walmart to do some shopping and when I return, the program is still hasn't decided whether it want to open or not.
My Anti-Virus software says that there is no problems. But there must be a problem somewhere or my system wouldn't be running slow as a snail.
Does anyone out there have any suggestions besides scrap my system and buy a new one.
