Post New Reply   1. oxred81 Newcomer, in training      I'm
asking about my parent's computer. It runs much slower than it
should. I have limited techy knowledge and am only at theirs
sporadically so I don't want to mess around 2 much without
knowing what I'm doing! (it's diff when it's yours and you can
play with it).     They have:     Intel Celeron CPU 2.80GHz; 448
MB of RAM; running Windows XP 2002     I have 2 questions:
1. What can I do to get it running faster for them?     2. Are
there things they can easily do in my absence if it goes slower
again?     I'm not sure what info is needed but:     Physical
memory     Total - 457200     Available - 98068     System Cache
- 132460 (these last two change)     It often runs at over 90%
CPU usage which i know is high.     I've attached (I think! ) a
list of the processes that run      I have been told that their
PC is running a Norton confli
