My Mom's Windows XP Computer is overall slow, freezing & locking up mostly all the time. I don't have the money right now to pay for Premium Support through Microsoft to get it fixed. Can anybody please help me get this issue resolved immediately! It's been like this for a while. I just want my mom's computer to run normally like any other computer would. Please! Let me know. I appreciate it. Thanks.

    Elizabeth23's advice was for you to follow Shenan's general cleanup instructions. Since there is overlap between Shenan's and my directions and AND since mine were tailored for your situation, I believe you should follow my instructions. When Elizabeth23 returns, she will surely instruct you to do anything important I may have forgotten.

    I am doing what Elizabeth told me to do now. The ESET Online Scanner is still running on my mom's computer now. Should I follow those steps after the Online Scanner has finished or do what you just told me to do? Alot of information between you guys. Nothing bad. But, lot's of info! Let me know. Thanks.
