any other suggestion bc this thing has a 80GB hd and only 2gb is free. this probably has 128MB of ram so it would take forever to copy all dudes files and music. should i just add my 1.5+ gigs of ram to his pc and see if that speeds it up? dudes computer is a 2.2 P4 and i have a 2.8 HTT P4. now that i think of it i didnt look at his speed of his ram but would it make a difference
take out the HD on his pc and hook it up to yours and transfer the data that way. Put it on another drive or a bunch of cd's or something. The reason it is slow is probably because he has almost zero space on his HD. The ram might make a difference but the main problem would probably be the almost full HD.
Yeah, take out the HD hook it up on your computer and do a virus and spyware scan on his HD from your system via the IDE and power cables.
and you can use this way to preserve his data aswell by copying it to your HD.
128 Mb is the minimum for WindowsXP to run. I suggest you upgrade that to atleast 1Gb of ram.
He runs a HP system you said. He should have recovery discs. After you hookud his HD up from your system and runned the scans you should put it back in his system and re-install Windows with the recovery discs.
If he doesn't has them he can call HP and order new ones.
Hope this helps.

Check out this site for more freeware Anti-spyware programs:

I also use the freeware Avast! for Anti-Virus protection. AVG is pretty good too and it's free.
Internet Explorer does attract a bunch of popups and spyware shit though. I still like it better than Firefox though.

ever since i put my computer back to factory specs, it's been going slower. i have tons of space on my 160gb hard drive, run my antivirus, etc...but still slow. i even have all updates (as far as i know), and this bitch is kinda slow loading web pages. it was never like this before...anybody else have that happen to them?
