bburton86 Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 I have a DELL Inspiron 9300 1.67ghz pentium m, 1g ram, 56mb ati x300 card. I am just getting horrible performance out of it. Choppy video, slow load times, choppy typing, choppy scrolling on websites. I have several spyware programs and run them frequently, I have a McAfee firewall set to tight. I don't understand what I am doing wrong. I also scan for viruses and such. I mean I keep the computer fairly clean. Any help would be great.

richcornucopia Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 Well, I can't exactly tell what all those processes are but looks like there are too many running. Could you post a picture of what shows up when you click start, run, ms config, start up. This will show what programs are started when you boot up your computer, if you have never edited this before chances are a lot of unnecessary services are starting up with your computer and bogging it down.

disturbed Posted January 17, 2006 CID Share Posted January 17, 2006 the way you uninstall your drivers is like so: Right click my computer - properties - hardware tab - click on device manager - display adapters - then it should say the name of your video card x300 - right click that - click uninstall - restart computer - go to ati.com - click the DRIVERS & SOFTWARE link - navigate through (most likely to windows xp) - and most likely you will have to download the Catalyst 5.13 Windows XP - Driver Download...once installed the drivers just restart - you should be up to date with your drivers then Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10585-computer-help/#findComment-110786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted January 18, 2006 CID Share Posted January 18, 2006 That is WAY to many.. you might want to restart in safe mode and run a few spyware scanner, virus scanners, and maybe defrag your hard drive.. I have 30 on boot up.. Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10585-computer-help/#findComment-110810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

FallowEarth Posted January 18, 2006 CID Share Posted January 18, 2006 I googled mup.sys and it brought up some stuff....mostly forums...there's usually some good stuff in there. I'd take a peek if the issue is persisting with safe mode boot, and see if you find anything that helps: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=mup.sys Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/10585-computer-help/#findComment-110876 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swimmer Posted January 18, 2006 CID Share Posted January 18, 2006 haha.. yeah.. that is what you get for not protecting your computer.. You can try the recovery console and replacing the file..
