hai experts,
Now a days my system is working very slow than earlier. just one week before i've formatted n installed Win xp OS (sp3), updated antivirus. hope there is no virus in my pc. what is the reasons for working slow??

One reason could be the antivirus software.Check your task manager that which applications are running and how much memory it is using.And also check the user of the applicaton who is using memory the most.
The solution could be now a days there are so many antivirus software that uses less memory and is more effective.Like Avira Antivir.Which doesn't affect the system performance and is very much effective
may be due to sp 3. uninstall it

I wouldn't do that if I were you. SP3 adds quite a lot of fixes to Windows, so the security patches should always be up to date.
It might (as has been said) be the antivirus - which one are you using? It might also be other programs running in the background.
If you used a CD that came with that Laptop, it's quite probable, that further software except Windows was installed in the process. You may not need all of that, so check if you have unneeded software on your system.
Also, check the Autostart folder (or better: Start -> Run -> msconfig -> OK -> System Startup) and remove anything you don't need at startup.
Of course, it's always possible, that you just have a slow system - what are the specs of that laptop?

Dear friendz,
thanx for ur reply.
i checked everything what u said, but still perfomance is low!!!
i've changed virtual memory to NO PAGING FILE from CUSTO SIZE
625. Now its woring fast
i think some one has changed it up to 625.
i want to know what is the default virtual memory size????
(sys config is: P IV 2.66, 512mb ram, 80gb HDD.)
Hello,
Well, I am in a hurry and so I am posting this link.
HOPE THIS HELPS.......

First uninstall SP3 and see if everything is working fine or not. then I will tell you how to install SP3 back again. This will safe lot of troubleshooting time.

Hello,
As nepomuk has stated previously:

If I remember correctly then OP had previously posted a question regarding update of SP2 to SP3 and at that time on his PC, XP SP2 was working pretty nicely. And SP3 is not that slow that we should recommend someone to uninstall it.
At present, I can only think of following two factors (both of which are mentioned by nepomuk previously) that may be degrading speed of OP's system:
1. Autoruns and programs such as antivirus etc. installed on OP's PC
2. Machine specifications may be too low to run SP3.
Well, we cannot think of anything else until we get machine specification :)
Hope this helps.......

If you can do one thing then please type msinfo32 from the run command it will give you information regarding the system .You just give that piece of inofrmation .So that experts can give you proper solution.Withou t knowing the system configuration we can only think of the possibility but not the solution accuracy.So, giving information can help us to solve your problem rather than beating the bush.

At first you should know about the virtual memory before changing it.And thinking it as your solution.
Virtual memory -If you are running media player 2 or three different emails,Word and one more application at the same time then it might not open the all application as the RAM is not available so, in this case the virtual memory of the machine is used.Virtual memory is used from the hard disk that you alot as virtual memory.So this memory is alloted for the apllication as RAM.So, you will be able to open the application.But as read/write spped of the hard didk is much slower than RAM,And the technology of hard disk is not geared towards accessing small piece of a data at a time.
As because of the above reason you will be able to run the application but there will be significant drop in the performance.

Hello,
I'm looking for any work/paper/ressource about continuous system
simulation using Python or any similar object oriented languages (or
even UML theory !).
I'm aware of SimPy for discrete event simulation, but I haven't found
any work about continuous system.
I would like to develop a generic continous system simulator, and so
would be eager to join any open source effort on the subject.

Hi all,
While working on an Access UI to a MySQL database (which should be a

web-based, much less costly than a full-fledged .NET app or so.... is

I fancied it would be interesting to look at the queries Access throws
