    hi..after of all i just bought a second hand computer for my friend with is pentium 3 window xp. After using for 1 month, i find that the com is getting slower! i suspect it due to virus, but i when scan the com by using norton anti, it doesnt shows any infection at all. So i decided to reformat my computer! But after reformatted everything, it doesnt seems to get better..it still the same lag as ever. And the worst thing is.. if i download some software from internet, it will promt that file is unable to complete due to win32 problems. How can i solve all this problems. Please help!

    chances are it needs some more ram tbh.


    the win32 probs could be due to an error in installation (dirty/scratched disk) or any number of other reasons. the windoze threads would be able to help you more if you gave them the error msg.
