clean out cache, temporary internet files, delete all windows temp/tmp
files. Defrag. Make sure you have enough space left on C: as you always
want at least 10 gig free on C:

Having a reasonable amount of free disk space helps towards good system
performance but how do you fix on a figure of 10 gb? The volume might be
any size from 20 gb to 500 gb. I doubt that performance would be good
where 490 gb of the volume was being used?

No, you want 15% free. I have XP on a ten gig drive and it works just
fine. I have a client with a 20 gig drive with 5 gigs free and it runs
like silk.

Correction:
You tried to download something *else* and got 4 KB/s. When you ran
SpeedTest, you actually *did* download a (test) file
Please give us the link for your slow download. Perhaps there's
something wrong on the other end. |

Do you mean that site was for both things you described? (The 680 kbps
*and* the 4 kbps downloads?) I had asked for a link to the site where
you had "download[ed] something and... got 4 KB/s." If speedtest.net
showed your download speed to be 680 kbps, I'd say that's decent
(assuming you have DSL).
By the way, when I went to LINK , I didn't see anything
about Turbo charging. It sounds like you clicked on an ad. And that
tells me you need to be more careful in your Web surfing. Clicking on
links without realizing what they are is the number one cause of people
getting malware on their PCs, and malware is one of the top causes (if
not the number one cause) of PC slowness. What is the malware status of
your PC? I seem to recall previous threads of yours, and I do remember
potential malware issues -- pro.exe being one. |

My reaction is you need to call Comcast technical support:

As an aside, I have both cable broadband and dsl broadband. cable got
really slow when using win98SE. but when I put the cable on Vista it was
fast as heck.
