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?

Yes, my machine took it (although I did have to go back in and get 811493 out). Take your Windows Update OFF auto. You can run a manual listing of updates after you un-install SP1 and see if there are any that you might really need on your machine (although that's easier said then done). If you install any of them set a Restore Point before you install it, that way if it causes a problem you can go right back........

dump the 1 update first and see what that does and then go after SP1

Just in general though, with or without SP1, it certainly wouldn't hurt to add more memory if you're running XP. At least to bring it up to a total of 512 IMO.

I was going through the sys restore and they are 2 updates loaded. up date Q327979 (the one I was talking about) and Windows update V4. What is Windows update V4? I dont even remember loading it? could that cause the problem?

| 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....... |
