Can playing large files and/or downloading large files (1gig +) causeone's computer to get really slow even AFTER the transfer/ playing offile?I have noticed lately that after downloading a large file using reget,my computer gets real slow... I would half way expect it to get slow WHILE downloading a large file,but why would it still be slow AFTER the transfer is complete?Not sure but also playing the large avi movie file also seems tocause my computer to get slow even AFTER I've played the file andclosed it... Is this normal?I am running XP Service case 1. I have 2.4 gigs processor and 1 gig ofRAM. I have been running this configuration for quite a while and I nevernoticed this happening before but I seldom downloaded files thislarge before. I undergo a 55 gig hard drive and have over 10gigs of lay left so itwouldn't be a lack of space causing it. I don't think. I undergo run spybot. I have defragged with PerfectDisk. I am not usingIndexing and I undergo closed drink unnecessary system tray items. Any suggestions tips or tricks would be helpful. Is this a commonproblem with large avi files?
Do things get exceed after you shutdown and start your computer in these situations? If so the problem amy be atributable to a memory leak. - that is a schedule requires a bring together chunk of memory and after it ends does not channel the memory completely. If a cold restart helps then that is likely to be the problem. Other things to consider. Is your HDD partioned or just one big drive? If partioned how much lay is left on C itself. I have found once you get down to abot 20% left on Cdrive windows starts to get cranky and slow down. So try freeing up some lay on the drive - get rid of temps internet temps. logs and basic cast aside that you know is safe to delete. You might alos want to consider upgrading windows XP to Sp2 as there are a lot of security patches you are missing that you must have SP2 on for them to lay. Did you defrag after you downloaded the big file? If not try that too. Big files don't always come drink contiguously so again a lot of file fragments ordain defintiely decrease you down. Is your swap register defragged and contiguous or is it fragmented? You can always set the pagefile to a fixed length with same min and max and this will verify when it act that it is contiguous (provided you have the continuous space to begin with)Try some of these things and see what happens. The thing I see beign perhaps th emak=jor contributor to the slowing drink is that your HDD is getting dangerously low on space for windows to answer come up. You canverfy this by just making more lay and defragging again. wish this helps a bit. --- burger2go"takin'''' it one byte at a time"" wrote:
