 XP Running Slowly, Not Malware... Hi all, I recently put a new hard drive into my XP machine and did a fresh install of XP and everything. Now since then, it's been very slow - slower than it was before, and has high CPU usage. Specs: Intel Pentium 4 2.0GHz 768MB SDRAM WD 250GB IDE This isn't a driver issue, I've made sure they're all up to date. Ideas please! |

| XP Running Slowly, Not Malware... Jumpers are set correctly on the driver - they're at Master as it's the only drive connected. PIO mode isn't the issue as its XP SP3 so that's been fixed anyway. |
