I just got service pack 1 and...
Wednesday, July 2, 2003 by manny walker | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
my pc is SO SLOW now. It runs better with window blinds disabled now. Is there an app I can tell window blinds to ignore? Why is my sys SO slow? I have 256 megs of ram Xp home and a 1.7 gig processor. Help?

the update Q811493. I can uninstall service pack 1 but I'd rather not. It has helped in many areas. Do I need more ram or is my oc jacked?

That's the right one....pull up Windows Update, scan and see if it shows 811493 as available, if it doesn't it means it's on your machine (you need to get rid of it) Click on installed updates and see if it shows there..... there's always hope........

leave it there...on some PC's SP1 (in either flavor) badly degraded performance. As long as you archived old files when you installed the service pack you can un-install it. I would try that and see what you get insofar as performance returning to normal. If it fixes the problem, run without it.

People ran their machines a long time with no problems before SP1 came out and considering your machine doesn't run with it, I would say you would be better off without it.......

Your old files (XP System Files) had to be saved before you installed update...it's only going to change those files..nothing else. All your personal files are safe no matter where they are.
