Suad,<br><br>There are many possible causes for a slow PC. Do other programs run slowly too, such as a web browser, or only Win-Test?<br><ol><li>Press [Ctrl]-[Shift]-[Escape] to display the Windows Task Manager.</li><li>Click on the "Processes" tab</li>
<li>At the bottom, check "Show proceses from all users"</li><li>Click once on the CPU column (not CPU Time, CPU)</li><li>Click once again on the CPU column to sort it in reverse order, top to bottom<br></li></ol>
You will now see at the top the program that is using the most CPU time. Chances are there will be some program (other than wt.exe), that is using up all of the CPU time. Sometimes virus scanners will do it, sometimes actual viruses will do it. If you don't recognize the program, do a Google search on the file name to find out what it is.<br>
<br>If only Win-Test is running slowly, and all other programs run normally, maybe there is a COM port speed setting that is incorrect, or a bad cable.<br><br>It is also possible that some program is using too much memory. Click once, then again, on the "Memory Usage" column in Windows Task Manager to resort the list by memory usage, top to bottom. 512 MB RAM is a little low to run Windows XP SP2, especially if you have a lot of programs running in the background. Note that your other PC with 1 GB RAM has no peformance problems.<br>
