windows has slowed down to a crawl    
For the past week, my PC has been running slow.  No new hardware and I
have
checked out RAM and the Hard Drive.  This is on Windows 2000 with SP4.
I
also ran virus checking with Norton and AVG.  I have 512 Meg of data on
my
ASUS board with an Athlon 1.33 Gig cpu.  I see no new programs in my
startup
list.  Is there any way to pin down this problem?

Hi:

You can startup your server without 3rd party software and services. In 
windows XP you normally use MSconfig command, but this command is not avail. 
Solution is to copy from a Windows Xp installation de files msconfig.exe and 
msconfig.chm

%SystemRoot%\PCHEALTH\HELPCTR\Binaries\msconfig.exe

%SystemRoot%\Help\msconfig.chm

copy to

%SystemRoot%\system32

%SystemRoot%\help

respectively or from the windows XP cd rom:


expand <x>:\i386\msconfig.ch_ %systemroot%\help\msconfig.chm

expand <x>:\i386\msconfig.ex_ %systemroot%\system32\msconfig.exe

Hi Juan,

Thanks for taking the time to reply.  However, I am not running Windows XP.  I
also am not running a server.  Other than that, I don't think your fixes will
work.
I believe you can do the same thing in windows 2000 by booting up into Safe
Mode.
In my case, that made no difference with the PC slowdown.

Re: windows has slowed down to a crawl    
Are you saying in Safe mode the PC is also slow?

msconfig is available here, if you dont have access to a winxp PC

Re: windows has slowed down to a crawl    
Hi:

That´s right, basically what we preten is to isolate the problem, if it is a 
3rd party problem or a Ms problem. You boot in normal mode, but without the 
3rd party software and services.

   I believe it looked about the same in Safe Mode.

   I ran it, but what was I supposed to do with it?

   I am running 'Process Explorer', so I have a good idea of
   what system processes are using CPU resources.  Invoking
   an application sucks up most of the CPU, while DPC's
   increase, probably because the CPU is busy.  Eventually,
   the programs load/run and the CPU regains time for the idle process.
   This is only a 1.33 gig Athlon, but it should not be delaying things when
   only one application is running.  Some of the other processes are grabbing
   bits of CPU for virus checking, etc.  I just noticed my 'Weather Channel'
   program is grabbing too much  time, even though it is not active on the
   desktop.  I exited that one and will check for any improvements.

                             Sherwin
