I know this isn't the right forum for this (do I ever!), but you-all know so much about everything I thought I'd ask.
About two months ago I resurrected my daughter's Compaq laptop (cracked screen - replaced it) and ran an update on it. It's running Windows XP, SP1 (I think), but since the update it has run about 1/3 as fast as it used to.
Does anyone know if there was a WXP update that killed performance on laptops? None of my other XP installs, SP1 or SP2, suffers from this.
(Actually, I should say "their other" 'cuz I don't use Windows unless I can't avoid it, and then I try to do it on my WXP VM where it's still relatively safe.)
Thanks.
