Snail of a Laptop

[G Man]

I have a Sony Vaio FS295XP 1 Gig Ram and CPU Intel Pent M 1.8
6 GHz

Now this little beast has now started running really slowly, it is virus protected and I run Firefox, but it takes an age to boot and even on boot the Windows start up jingle is slowwwwwwww and distorted,

All video and noise sound like the time is standing still ...

So I have run some registry checking program and disable everything I don't need, checked the drivers for sound its says its ok, defragged the disk ( it needed it )

Its not a slow network other computers are fine !!

Over to my PH'ers friends .. help

Seconded. Windows has collapsed under its own weight.

Given that it is a lappy, it could be other things such as the CPU fan seizing, power saving throttling the cpu back to stupidly low speeds or a memory stick making poor connection. I would check the actual cpu speed and available memory.
