My Slow Computer

Greetings;

This question concerns the speed of an old 486 running Win95. I know, why
not get a better, newer computer?, well, I have. The 486 has its qualities
that make it worth saving if I can find the source of its sluggishness.

The oddest thing of all is that when I am running diagnostic and parasite
detectors, the speed of the machine is incredible and this is also true of
system maintenance programs such as Scandisk and Defrag. As soon as I
return to normal OS routines, the 486 shifts down to a low first gear.

I can find no trace of spyware, adware, viruses, Trojans or any resource
demanding transients. I'm puzzled and need help.

The system is Win95 B, 23M Ram, 266MHz Processor, Packard Bell Multimedia
550. Adaware reports that an average of 9 processes are running at any
given time.

Any help at all, Randy Gross
