Hello. Running XpHome I found my computer a little sluggish. I ran all spyware, antivirus, spybot, ofcourse CCleaner. and all show everything to be A OK. I find quite often I need to reopen or refresh a page for it to come up. When refreshing a page it starting opening muliple times, many, many times. Anyone have any ideas?? ~ Thanks
What browser are you using?
What browser are you using?
Windows Xp Home. I just ran SFC but not sure if it fixed anything. Also had gotten a iexplore.exe Application error. Something about the memory could not be read ~ Thanks Please see attachment
you can try upping the paging file size, not sure if that would help though.
right click on my computer>advanced>preformance (first option)>paging file size.
id up it to double what it recommends for max and a couple hundred under that for min.
Thanks for the reply. I sent an attachment of my virt. memory which I guess is my paging file??
Just to be sure download this:
http://www.thespykiller.co.uk/files/HJTSetup.exe
Open it up and choose scan and save log file. Then paste the log onto the forum.

That error could mean all kinds of things. Anything from your ram being bad(unlikely if a new computer) or it was just a random thing(does it happen frequently?).
With the Hijackthis log I will be able to see what you have running as well so maybe that will help.
Hello this is my HJT file. In addition I removed AVG anti spyware and I believe I see some improvement in opening pages. Still see my desktop background slow to open after the computer has been on for a short while with black color behind the task tray by the clock and then completley opening. I'm leaning towards a memory issue or possibly graphics card. Just a guess however.
~ Thanks

Oops computer is about 3-4 years old and I changed my page file to .... see attach.
How much ram(memory) does the PC have?
How much ram(memory) does the PC have?
1gig. I just enabled paging file to my 2nd. hard drive as well and selected system managed size
Generally the rule is you have 1.5 times the amount of ram on your computer for virtual memory. I always just set it to system managed personally.
Anyway are you noticing any improvement since changing it?
Also I would try disabling norton firewall temporarily and see if that fixes your refresh issues.

I do not have Nortons firewall installed. Only Norton 2006 Antivirus. Even wiith me changing my paging file I'm still having to refresh pages quite often. This site included. I would get the CCleaner heading before any of the actual page and then the page would come up. ~ Tom
Your using AOL dial up right?
Also just to make sure I understand the problem right...
Your internet is not loading pages completely so you have to press refresh until they load up correctly?

I have a broadband connection. I think I have it fixed. Correcting the page file size was the culprit. If you read my post you will see I enabled windows to manage the page file size for me. I enabled it for both hard drives even though I know I can have it only on one. I may make a seperate partition on my 2nd drive solely for the page file. 5 gigs should be good. ~ Thanks for everones help
This is why I thought you had dial up:

Errr, not if he actually uses AOL he won't. AOL, on broadband, will NOT work without the connectivity service. I have tested and proved as such. If you stop the service running whilst AOL is open, AOL crashes. Remove the connectivity service altogether and it will prompt to reinstall at next startup. The broadband connection will still work assuming you don't have to sign on to AOL to connect but the browser won't start without it (personally I don't use the AOL browser but thought I should point this out just in case Tom does).
The Top Speed thing is part of AOL9 and an attempt to speed up web browsing with the AOL browser but its hopeless anyway and before I converted to Firefox I always had it disabled.
Really? Hmm... I wasn't aware of that.
So they make you run their software even on broadband? I knew what the topspeed thing was but I wasn't aware that connectivity service was needed on broadband. Thanks for letting me know.

Its only needed to run the software. I have the broadband connection permanently connected using a DUN connection so don't need that service, but if I start the AOL browser (which is rarely) that service is needed.
Thanks for all of the replies guys. Somehow AOL had Dialup services enabled along side my broadband connection. I clicked on "Never dial a connection" Now the annoying box doesn't come up.
Thanks again for the help

Tom, do you have to sign on to AOL to start your BB connection or is your connection permanently on? If not this may be of interest (it'll also give a more stable connection): Create a DUN connection

Hi JDPower I sign in using a password to Aol. There are a few other aol users on this computer. They go on there xp user name and then sign on as well to aol. Hope this answers your question. ~ Tom
To anwer the question better ... I do not need aol to use the internet
