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.

    Ok. So don't worry about Windows Search at all. Right? Just do the last part what Daavee told me on page 5? After the Windows Search? http://winhlp.com/node/10 This one?

    Yeah. It is not on my mom's computer so I don't have to worry about that. Right?

    if it is not listed in add/remove programs, then you do not have it installed.

    Not necessarily (see Nepatsfan's post, which is embedded in my post on p.3 of this thread).

    The other link is broken. Here is another:
