New AAO (moving slow)

Hello everybody.
I just bought a new Aspire One Model No: ZG5
Intel Atom 1,6GHZ
1GB DDR2
16GB HDD

The problem is that after i installed the operating system that was already pre-installed (Windows XP Home Edition SP3) it is loading very slow, there are tones of applications installed (IntelVideo,Google Desktop, McAfee and many many others).

Please recommend me a very light Windows Version.

 

Go to addremove programs and uninstall all those useless programs. once you get Mcafee off, your AAO will zoom along

 

Thank you for your fast reply.
I have one more question:
How can i change my Windows XP Home Edition Language Interface? It is now Italian but i want it to be English.

I also have to CD`s (System CD and Windows XP SP3 CD) what are this CD`s for and how can i use them?

 

First check the "Acer empowering Technology" - eRecovery Management to doublecheck the ones Acer considers important enough to put there. After removing what you don't want, I'd suggest running CCleaner (highly rated free app, google it) for both disk and registry cleanup and then a good disk defragmenter (like Defraggler.) Run them after any major install / uninstall and every few weeks as part of your maintenance routine.

Haven't used it, but Settings / Control Panel / Regional and Language Options / Advanced seems to offer alternatives and a tick box for default setting. You might see what it says for your system and google how to use it.
