If you HAVE installed the main chipset drivers, and the IAA if that applies, if the computer is still running slower than you remember, then try setting the mboard’s bios Setup to defaults, or better still optimized defaults,save settings.You may have set some setting incorrectly and that’s slowing down your computer. If that’s listed, you MUST download it and install it in order for your main chipset to run the drives as fast as it can. If your computer has one of the earlier Intel 8xx main chipsets, check the Intel web site for downloads for the chipset to see whether it lists the IAA – Intel Application Accelerator. Sometimes brand name web sites don’t list the IAA in the Drivers list when it should be listed. If you load drivers from the web, brand name system builders and mboard makers often DO NOT have the main chipset drivers listed in the downloads for your model – in that case you must go to the maker of the main chipset’s web site, get the drivers, and load them. If you have a generic system and have the CD that came with the mboard, all the necessary drivers are on it. Whenever you load Windows from a regular Windows CD (or DVD) from scratch, after Setup is finished you must load the drivers for the mboard, particularly the main chipset drivers, in order for Windows to have the proper drivers for and information about your mboard hardware, including it’s AGP or PCI-E, ACPI, USB 2.0 if it has it, and hard drive controller support. XP doesn’t have the drivers built in for most things that first came out after XP was first released, circa 2001, and it doesn’t have some of the drivers built in for things made before that. Your computer CANNOT run as fast as it is capable of unless you load the main chipset drivers for the mboard after Setup has finished. “This computer was slow when I just reloaded the OS and after all the updates same thing I haven’t even installed the programs yet.”
