Hi,
I was wondering if anyone here could direct me to a relevant download required for a solid-state computer when changed over to Windows XP in order to prevent slow waiting times; here's the details:
1) It was originally a Linux-run, solid-state netbook.
-- An Acer, "Aspire One" model.
2) I have since changed the operating system to Windows XP.
3) I have since been suffering from a ridiculously long waiting time for every function I try: every application takes well into 3-4 minutes before actually loading (I get the "Not responding" message in the status bar for minutes at a time, EVERY time).
I was informed that it was due to my not having downloaded a specific "patch" I believe the term was, that allows the operating system to communicate properly with the solid-state hardware.
I would GREATLY appreciate any assistance in this matter; I know it isn't viruses as, for one, this happened long before I managed to hook it up to the internet and I do regular malware checks using AVG.
All I'm really looking for is a straight-forward, free download link to something that can allow the operating system to communicate properly with the solid state hardware.
MANY thanks for any assistance in this incredibly frustrating matter.
Andy-Laa.
