I've found XP DOES need to be restarted at least once a day. If you don't, it starts to use more and more of the PageFile and can cause some sluggish behavior. This is on my main PC though, where I have dozens of apps and webpages open and running at the same time.

That might be, but if you do experience the slowdown, you might try one
more boot to see if it clears things up. I used to shutdown every night
, but with xp, I don't seem to have to to reclaim my memory, etc. Now
about the only time I reboot is when I'm installing or cleaning the
registry. (I do turn the peripheries off and the monitor tho).

Thanks Keith, I turn my unit off each and every nite so I would
suppose that would do all the resetting I should require.

I have found that on occasion, the system seems to be much slower
than usual, with all spyware removed (trojans checked, etc), but
found that rebooting 2 or even 3 times seems to reset all the links,
registry and all so that it returns to standard speed. I have
advised a few others to do the same and they seem to feel that it
works for them as well.

Thanks Clint, I just checked the specs and my OS is XP2002 SP2 with
an AMD Athlon XP2200+ 1.79Ghz and 512mb of RAM.
BTW I also notice this on my laptop a Dell 9100. It does not happen
all the time and is quite random in nature.

Larry I had that problem too when I was using it. If your PC is
rather slow (CPU wise and not much memory) that MIGHT have
something to do with it. I had it worse on an old slow PC (800mhz
and 128mb), but not as bad on my main PC. They were both XP SP2
and on the same LAN. So, it might be a CPU thing since FF does
suck the CPU resources. But FAIK it could have something
completely different. I tried the tweaks and they didn't help.

I have noticed that when using FF and I launch to any site (URL)that
it does not connect the first time and shows me a message that it
times out. I try it the second time and it always connects. Is it
just
a matter of extending the time if that is possible?
Peter might know the answer to this. I believe he uses FF.
