Adobe Premiere is very slow on powereful computer

Hi everyone,
I am new to this project. Adobe Premiere 6.0 runs very slow on my computer. My system configuration is as under:
HP workstation XW8200  ,   3.2Ghz dual processor
1GB RAM
windows XP Professional.
New installation, not many softwares installed yet.
Computer itself seems to run fast. But when I run adobe premiere it dies and becomes very very slow that I cannot work.
Plz suggest if there is any driver or something else need to be installed.

thanks.

I went through this page. Help is related to windows 2000/xp. I have windows vista.
sorry,

I missed that point however much of the information still applies.

Is there any particular function in which it slows down, or is it slow all of the time?
BTW, does it not say Windows XP Professional just below 1GB Ram in your question?
As  a matter of fact I have been trying everything both on windows xp and Vista. Both have same behaviour.
Vista has 2 GB RAM, processor is T7200
XP is running on 3.2 Ghz processor with 1 GB ram.

Both machines are pretty  fast, But as soon as I run Adobe they become dead slow, Amazing.
Thanks for looking and helping .

XP system (which is very fast one) is not connected to any network. Vista machine is connected to internet through router.
I've done a couple of searches on the user forums and haven't found anything similar. This doesn't mean that the problem that you report is not real, just that it isn't common enough to be on the radar of the other help groups.

Unfortunately it could be hundreds of different things causing this. Everything from a faulty DLL to a conflicting utility running in the background to a corrupt preference file.

I don't have the resources available to me that Adobe has, so it looks like a call to them would be your best bet.
