slow running

pc hast been running slowly and unable to keep up with
typing etc... so that it seems to stall for a few seconds
before catching up. Thought it was a ram (64Mb)or swap
file problem. Have upgraded ram with a 256Mb sdram
module,sacrificing one of the 32Mb modules to upgrade.
Swap file is set to windows controlled, but the problem
persists. Any ideas?

Click StartRun, type MSINFO32 and click OK.
In the left pane of the System Information window, click the + sign to expand the
"Software Environment" category.
In the left pane, click to select "Startup Programs"....they will appear in a list
on the right.
Press Ctrl-A on the keyboard, which will highlight everything in the list on the
right.
Press Ctrl-C to copy the list to the 'clipboard'.
Open a reply to this message, click in the body of the message and press Ctrl-V to
paste the list from the clipboard to the message, and post back to this thread.

Also, press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to bring up the Task Manager and post back with what is
listed there when you experience the slowdown.

C:\WINDOWS\wt\updater\wcmdmgrl.exe -launch

It is the Wild Tangent Updater....see he
http://www.windowsstartup.com/wso/br...rt=100&end=125
It should be disabled in Control Panel Wild Tangent, or if you do not play Wild
Tangent games, it should be uninstalled in Add\Remove Programs.

If you still have the problem after dealing with these and rebooting, I suggest this
procedu

Update your anti-virus app and then run a full-system virus scan.

In addition, install Ad-Aware 6 free edition, start it, click its 'Check for

Install, update and run SpyBot Search & Destroy, scan your system, and then remove

Download, unzip, and run Hijack This from one of these locations:

Unzip to a folder other than your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick
HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Press that, save the log somewhere you can find it (Desktop, My Documents, or
similar).
Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.

Copy the log files and paste them into a new post at one of these forums:

There are a lot of items in the list you posted, which are not required. I suggest
you look them up in the pages linked below, and determine which you really need and
