Sounds like time for a rebuild. It shouldnt be anywhere near that long. Or get Windows7 which is actually good!

Heya, When I launch Windows Update in Internet Explorer, my machine slows to a crawl. It also takes forever to 'scan' my computer - well over an hour. Can anyone recommend a good replacement for Windows Update, to keep my drivers/software up-to-date? I'm running under XP Home SP3.
