Slower Than Dial-up!!!!
hi, im running windows xp home ed with sp2, and i am on a wireless network......a few days ago my interent slowed down dramatically and im not really sure why(it could have been something i downloaded but i can't remember) It has been working on and off now for the past few days but i talked to the person who manages the network and he said he didn't do anything that might have caused the change so im not sure what happened.....all i know is that every page takes longer to load than it would on dial-up!!....some pages once i have them loaded up tend to go a little faster but not much....I have ran virus checks, spyware, malware programs and nothing seems to fix the problem any suggestions?
P.S. It took about 5 mins just to load the main forum page of this site.....
Thanks for the help

Try cleaning up your PC using CCleaner (formerly known as Crap Cleaner)

just downloaded and ran it but it didn't do anything

System Restore
--------------------------------------------------
You might try a System Restore to a point prior to your problem:
start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore
If that does not help:
HijackThis
--------------------------------------------------
Please read THIS and after completing the steps outlined post a HijackThis log over in that section along with a brief description of your problem.
Do not post HijackThis logs in this section please.
