messed up internet
hi. well, i recently had my PC started again from scratch. i paid 140$ for it. The reason i did this was because it was EXTREMELY slow- like dial up. I was definitely faster. it seems to have slowed down a little, even though i have about 25gb free on the hard-drive, so i know it isnt a space issue as before, and the computer cant find any viruses. whats the problem?
Also, when i try and check my e-mail i can sign in etc, but cant actually read, delete my mail. i click on it and nothing happens.
Facebook is also strugeling. I type or click something, and it says, "error: blah blah blah". it worked ok before i got my PC sorted out. Im on XP, and use IE if it helps. Any advice? thanks :)

well for one thing, stop using IE, especially if you have the most recent version. another thing is, you got ripped off. 140 for a system recovery? that's ridiculous... i charge 30, and that includes coming over to the persons house to do it, and helping them set things up afterwards, and even thats a little high, since its really a matter of pushing a single button when the computer is booting up, and then waiting. well thats how it is for an hp anyways... slightly more complicated for brands without a D drive, but still not that much.
anyways, onto your current problem. if you have the most recent version of IE it takes up a lot of RAM, thats what determines your computer speed, hardrive space has little effect. download firefox,

and use that, that should give you some extra speed. next, you might have gotten adware. download spybot

as for your email, thats probably a problem with the site.
