Security downloads

[sumar]

Hi, I've just got a normal little PC with XP on it. I don't know any more details to tell you. Yesterday in the bottom right hand corner on the bar strip, it said I had updates for Microsoft security stuff so the wizard thing came on and installed it. It surprised me because it took about an hour to put it on, but after it did, the computer took about 2 hours to do anything. I eventually got into where it tells you what it put on and there was about 16 security updates. I don't know if my computer's not big enough for all this stuff or what's happened so I went to restore and it said there was no changes so I tried to uninstall what it had put on and it said I couldn't uninstall them. Now my computer's on a go slow and I mean a real go slow! Approx 2 hours to get on the net and if I just want to stay off the net and go into a document or into Word, it takes about 45 mins. I don't know anything at all about computers so I would be very grateful if anyone could please help. Thank you - Sue

it sound like you have a realy old computer with low memory that cant handle the net and the updates needed,either wipe your pc and do new install of windows and turn updates off or buy a new pc that can handle the technology of today. the pc you have may have been a windows 3.1 or 95 and someone put xp on it and its barely running proper just managing xp at its full limits. ul av to check the memory and then see if you have enuff to even run xp its self

To find out your computers basic memory details click on start then in the right of the menu click control panel,then look for the icon of the computer "system" open that one and it will show your RAM (thats your computers memory) it may say 512mb or 1gb or in your case 64mb hopefully you should have at least 512mb of ram for your computer to be worth using with windows xp. if its in the 100-300's its prob an old Windows 95 pc that should have never had xp put on it.
