Wubi has slowed down my pc !!!!

by Logical_Explanation Aug 7, 2007 6:14AM PDT

I installed wubi to try out ubuntu, it worked great but i have now uninstalled ubuntu as i couldnt get internet on my dell Insipron 1501. I have now gone back to windows xp and my computer is so slow !! I have 1512mb ram and it feels like i have 512mb. Can someone please help me get my laptop back to its original speed.

yh the video says its less hassle but that is not the case, it slows your computer down so much and i mite have to end up formatting my hard drive, so everyone save yourself the hassle and dont bother installing it.
