| Just did a re-install
I just did a complete format/re-install after 4years as things started to get buggy. I've got a slow athlon xp 2200+ with 512m ram and a geforce 64meg, (secondary comp) I just put xp pro corporate on it but I've got a few things. I installed free avg and my system idle process was running about 90% ecu, lagging up the system just at idle. I un-installed it and its good as new again so I was wondering if there is another antivirus worth trying. I dont want anything with spyware, or that pops up and bugs me every-day. Just something that runs in the background and leaves me alone. I also have this red shield in the right corner of my screen because updates is turned off. How can I make this shield go away!!
Anything else I should put on the system? I turned off RPC in the admin menu, updated windows media player, updates windows live messenger, etc but anything else I can do to speed up this out of date system?? Its not used whatsoever for games, just web browsing and storage for pictures.

Anti-Vir
Free. No Spyware.
Look up Google on tips to tune up your PC for better performance. Tons of guides out there.

"System Idle Process" is supposed to be running at >90% when you're idle. It means >90% of the CPU is idle and not being dedicated to another process....
Also, NOD32 is the lightest, least intrusive antivirus I've used.

it's usually based on ur mobo/sound card drivers
but in programs for video/music you can tweak it with its respective EQ
i.e. winamp, MPC

^^I'm pretty sure he wants to add EQ settings into his advanced volume control menu; and he already has the volume icon in taskbar (Also, there is no "Properties" link after right clicking the icon in XP) Quote:

yeah you might have to update your drivers to get the full abilities of your sound card, check in the device manager
