Reinstalled Bonic/Einstein and it is very slow

(moderation:
After the latest Boinc update, I kept getting 'computation error' in my tasks
So I un-installed Boinc, the program and the windows 'all users file'
I re-installed, but the task, I am running is crawling along , my comp is on 24hrs, most of the time doing nothing but Einstein , other times just visiting a few message boards etc, so no other heavy use.
Have I missed something in preferences ?
should I tick the gpu ( mine is old) don't think it's up to it

What is the setting for:
Suspend work if CPU usage is above XX %
If set to low Boinc will suspend when a other process is running.

Hi!
Actually I think the processing speed was OK (until 4th of May) for the host you are using, an AMD Athlon XP 2200+ which was first released around 2009 latest. The GPU isn't used by BOINC as it probably lacks CUDA or OpenCL capabilities.
All tasks since then were aborted and I don't see any output from them that would help to diagnose the problem.
What exactly is "slow"?

My problems started within my firewall
But when , I cleared everything and reloaded Boinc
my first task, at first said, 9hrs to complete
then it said 26hrs to complete,
why I came on here was because , that 1st new task had run for nearly 40hrs and wasn't even 50% complete.
So cleared system and have reloaded Boinc and started again
will keep in touch
Thanks

Managed to get ONE 'Binary Radio Pulsar Search (Arecibo) v1.22 (BRP4SSE)' done , took over 60hrs
then started, Gamma-ray pulsar work, finished 2 seemed ok but, then project started one unit then stopped, moved to another, then stopped, moved to another, then stopped, then went to the 2 finished items and marked them, error while computing.
also kept getting 'waiting for memory'

I have cleared BOINC again off computer (unless there's something hidden ?), can someone , tell me what is the best Computation settings for my Einstein project, it will run 24hrs a day. It used to run ok, is there a way to get preferences back to default and start again ?
