Speed up PC- more ram, maybe you just got too many things loaded on the OS! so more ram is my opinion, how much you got, at least 256 i hope, mine runs fine on 512 and my friends runs really well on 1 gig!!

This patch slowed down XP a lot=811493...If you got this patch installed, uninstall and re-update again....They have fixed it in the mean time.

What is the purpose of the prefetch files. I looked through it and it looks like the start-up's for my programs. Is it safe to delete them?
