Hi,
 
I have a Dell Latitude 600 notebook, running XP Professional, SP3. The other 
day I downloaded Windows automatic updates, the next day I noticed that my 
computer was running incredibly slow. When I say slow, I mean that commands 
that used to take seconds, now take several minutes. I tried to go back to 
several previous restore points, but kept getting the message that Windows 
could not go back to that restore point. I looked at the Defrag analysis, and 
the hard drive did not appear to be severely defragmented. I ran AVG and it did 
not detect any viruses. Can anyone suggest how I can get my computer back up to 
speed?
 
Thanks,
 
jim
