XP extremely slow after 7.04 install
Asked by

I have installed Ubuntu 7.04 as a dual boot with an existing XP home system. The PC is a P4 3GHz, has a single 80GB drive with 512 MB RAM. During the install, I resized the XP partition to 60GB to leave 20GB for Ubuntu. Ubuntu seems to run OK, but XP now runs extremely slowly. When booting, the "windows is starting up", the "welcome" screen, and the desktop come up at normal speed, but it then takes 1 - 2 hours for the system tray icons to all appear. Clicking on anything during or after that point takes many minutes before a response. Task Manager (when it opens) shows minimal task activity, and the hard-drive access light is only flashing occasionally. Does anyone have an idea what may have happened, and how best to try and fix this?
