Best thing you can do is get more memory (RAM) and possibly upgrade the processor CPU, if needed

Probaly Not. Yes it could be the Hard Drive since it it so old of a computer. I my self have a old compaq laptop witch only has internet on it and still runs very slow and it got cleaned of viruses and stuff like that.

Iceblink Luck has a good answer, too bad you didn't give us more info so we could be more helpful. just cuz ya recently wiped it clean does not mean it is not loaded down with junk (after rebooting or booting). Clean out the Startup folder so it does not load unnecessary stuff check it first with Task Manager, check all tabs, (Ctrl+Alt+Delete). You could try overclocking but we ain't going there cuz we don't wanna chance it. ;-) PS: Have at least 2 Gig RAM if yer comp. will take it.

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task. First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it. http://www.delete-computer-history.com/what-is-the-best-registry-cleaner.html 2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how: 1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser 2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options". 3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files. 4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK. 5. Click OK. 3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by altering your msconfig. Here is how: 1. Open your Start menu. 2. Click Run 3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe" 4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab 5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using. 6. Click "OK"

I do not know how old for your old desktop computer is. But not important. For running slow there are many causes: Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer! Spyware/Adware RAM De-Fragmenting Etc. Below can help you speed up your pc: Manage your startup: Open your Start menu -> Click Run -> In the command screen type "msconfig.exe" -> In the "system configuration utility", click either "service" or "startup" tab -> Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using. De-Fragmenting 1. Right click of C Disk. 2. Click properties. 3. Click tools tab. 4. Click "Defragment now". 5. Click Defragment. Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer! Clean your Registry can make your computer faster http://top5registrycleanerreviews.com

As a general rule the more ink cartridges in the machine the better the output color. 4 cartridges is better than 2 and 6 is better than 4. I have seen 7 cartridges but they are rare. Find the hp with the most cartridges that will fit in your budget.
