Slow performence
I have P4 2.8GHz with 1GB RAM and 5GB of free space on my windows drive C.
My WinME works very slow. For example, it takes about 10 minutes to delete a single file of 100MB! While on my WinXP that installed on the other drive it takes to delete the same file, less then a second. What can be a couse of this? Can it be the problem that WinME can't handle more then 512MB of RAM?

I have only Norton Ghost 9 Installed.
I use this OS mainlly for games and for restoring my main OS (winXP) when needed. My CD drive isn't working very well so I'm using 2nd OS insted of Norton Ghost 9 CD Wizard for the restore process.

WRT your query about 512MB - ME requires a tweak in the System.ini file
add the following line in the [vcache] section MaxFileCache=512000 There should NOT be anything else in that section, unless you have more than 1GB installed -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Alex Levi" wrote in message ...

I added the line, rebooted but my windows is still working very slow.
Can it be something else and not RAM?

Most likely cause is your AV - which is?
Where are you deleting the file from? It's possible that you're forcing System Restore to create a backup of the file prior to deletion, which could take a few seconds Also possible is a slight misconfiguration of the networking settings -- Noel Paton (MS-MVP 2002-2005, Windows) Nil Carborundum Illegitemi http://www.btinternet.com/~winnoel/millsrpch.htm http://tinyurl.com/6oztj Please read http://dts-l.org/goodpost.htm on how to post messages to NG's "Alex Levi" wrote in message ...
