Update:
So far I have tried to update / upgrade all drivers : video, chipset, etc to
no avail. I have tried Firefox and IE with the same result. I tried the IE
with no addons, but then I can't run the flash site.. very troubling.
In addition, I have tried disabling all non M$ startup programs as safe mode
has, to no avail.
Its a tough one. Go go heavy flash sites-- raising test scores.

Have you tried resetting internet explorer with the button on the
advanced
tab to see if that speeds things up?

thats a tough one. safe mode does not load any of your startup
programs.
so I would look at something that is running on the machine after
bootup
that may be interfering. my first guess would be AV. try disabling
that
and see if performance imporves. then i would go down the line and
just
disable one after the other and test each time to see if you find a
culprit.
another thing to consider is alot of drivers are not loaded in safe
mode so
maybe tehre is a drivers problem (video?)
good luck!

All,
I have a very strange problem that I cannot seem to figure out. Two
years
ago we deployed 600 netbooks (asus 1000HE model) with windows xp home
and
all was fine. This past summer, we manually went to each computer and
did a
little house cleaning: upgrading flash, shockwave, etc. etc. It was
calculated to be faster than straight imaging every machine.
Fast forward to today and many heavy flash websites i.e. Math Facts in
a
Flash (part of Accelerated Reader suite) simply bog down. There is a
huge
delay between submitting answers and getting the next question vs.
last
year.
I have done the standard troubleshooting techniques: uninstall flash
/
reinstall, shockwave, uninstall / reinstall all drivers. It is not a
wireless issue or wired (netbooks had same problem while wired in,
and not a
bandwidth issue). I've looked at disabling all non M$ start up
programs to
no avail.
Here is the interesting thing.. all of these flash sites work
flawlessly on
the same given netbooks, when I boot into xp safe mode. What is safe
mode
not doing to make it work?
When I image a given netbook from two years ago, and basically repeat
everything I did over the summer they appear to work.
Any help would be appreciated-- sorry for long message.
