Okay, I'll try to make this as clear as possible.
A few days ago, I updated my computer with the latest window xp critical update. After that, I notice something isn't right. My computer seem to running a little slower, especially, when I loaded up winamp and when I tried to load up Adobe Audition at the sametime, my music thats playing on the winamp will skip. Not only that, sometimes when I am copying and pasting files to another folder, my computer would freeze. Now, I tried defragment my harddrive, I ran Microsoft Anti-Spyware program. I ran AVG virus scan. I pretty did alot of trial and error.
Here is my PC specs
Athlon 2600 2.08 GHZ
512 3500 DDR Ram
Asus A7V8X-X Motherboard.
ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Graphic Card
IBM EIDE 120 Gigs HD
please help! Thanks alot. |

| Hmmm. That reminds me. I haven't updated my in a while either. Have you tried doing a System Restore to reverse the critical update installation? Then check to see if that works. If it does, it could be that update was a bit buggy. Or there was some conflict during the installation. Usually open programs cause stuff to installation processes. |

| Yea formatting usually is the best solution. But if you got alot of stuff on your computer like I do, then formatting isnt something you want to do right away. Even backing up is tedious. But yea, thats the only situation I could think of. Strange the update did that. And you are using Windows XP SP 2, yes? |

| yes I installed sp 2. There is no way I formatting my harddrive and starting fresh, because my dad uses this pc as well. |

| My last piece of advice would be this. Reinstall Adobe Audition & Winamp since you said those were the two programs causing problems. There is an option in Winamp where you can increase the buffering or something of the sort where you can decrease skipping. But I think that is for when you are listening to live streams. Vlad knows alot about the computer stuff. Maybe you can try asking him. Quagmire your up!:wtf: |

let me give you an update right now.
I listen to some chillout room peeps advice and, I uninstall my sp2. After rebooting, the update icon popped up asking me to update. So I click yes, and rebooted again. Now, the update icon popped up again, and its downloading something I have no clue what it is, and it is 65 percen done. |
