Computer Slowdown

**Vietnamese Crippler** · 07-08-2004, 12:42 AM

For some reason, my computer has been slowing down a lot lately and I'm pissed because I can't find the problem. I've uninstalled countless programs and checked to see what programs are running, but everything seems to be okay. After about 5 minutes of use, the computer becomes really busy for whatever reason, even if there are no programs running.

Also, sometimes the computer pops up with an error message saying that my virtual memory is too low and I have no clue what it means.

I'm thinking I should just reformat and start all over, but I only want to use that as a last resort. Anyone has an idea that could help me?
