My outlook express on my XP machine was running slow to open the first email after rebooting my computer. This was going on for about 1 month. After it opened the first email, other emails opened fine. Yesterday it got to the point it would take 10 min to open some emails, and when they opened they were blank. [login to view URL] was using 50% of CPU. I tried a restore point to 1 week earlier and no fix. I took the advise of a website and ran "sfc /scannow". It was working but then asked for the original XP CD, which I did not have. I answered Cancel to about 3 questions, and then cancelled it completely. Now if I run Chrome, Outlook Express, MS Word, MS Pub they use up 50% of CPU and hang. MS Pub gives a warning of low memory or drive space. So I pulled about 15 gig off the hard drive. Still the same. I'm open to suggestions.

Based on the symptoms you described, it seems like your computer may be experiencing some performance issues. It could be caused by various factors, such as insufficient memory, hard drive issues, or software conflicts. To better assist you, we would need to perform some diagnostic tests on your computer. If you're interested, we can schedule a remote session with one of our technicians who can connect to your computer and investigate the issue. Alternatively, if you prefer to troubleshoot on your own, we recommend checking your computer's specifications and ensuring that it meets the requirements for running the programs you mentioned. You can also try running a virus scan or performing a disk cleanup to free up space on your hard drive. Please let us know how you would like to proceed, and we will do our best to assist you.

Hi there! I am Udit, an experienced data entry expert, data scrapper and data analyst. I understand your need to have Outlook Express on your XP machine running smoothly after rebooting. This was going on for about 1 month and prevented you from opening your first email after every reboot. Yesterday it got to the point where it took 10 minutes to open some emails and when they opened they were blank. Now if you run Chrome, Outlook Express, MS Word, or MS Pub they use up 50% of CPU and hang. I understand that sfc /scannow worked but then asked you for the original XP CD. With my help you won't have to worry about this issue anymore! Instead we can focus on improving other parts of your computer such as speed and memory usage so that you can open all of your emails quickly without issue.

Hello, According to the problem description, now the problem is not only related to the outlook ....but it went beyond that to chrome and other MS Office software. So, we need to check for a problem related to Windows XP (ex: corrupted files or virus activity ..etc) and may be hardware problem related to hard disk drive. I suggest checking the hard disk drive first, then checking for virus or malicious software, after that we can consider whether to look for windows XP corrupted files or re-install windows xp (whichever you prefer). Please feel free to contact me to discuss any of the mentioned steps. Best regards.
