my computer is slow for some unknown reason
I left it to download and when I can back it was very slow.
when I restart, it takes forever to load. when I want to open something, it takes alot (alomst freezes)
I have anti-virus and did a scan, nothing came up.
anyone know what can be wrong with it?
on another note, can anyone tell me how I can edit the things that load on start up (the ctl,alt del list)
thanks |

start->run
then type in msconfig
go to the startup tab i believe and it lists everything it opens up on startup, and u can uncheck wat u don't want
u might wanna try search & destroy to get rid of spyware and crap |

yep, anti-virus software rarely gets spyware
dl adaware and spybot search & destroy and let both of em sweep your machine |

thena format is the way to go, I'd love to format again, but I'd need to back up far too much at the moment |

| if you have windows xp then you can also use services.msc to end a BUUUNCH of uneeded processes that can be set to manually load when needed. msconfig is good for taking out startup processes though. Do a ctrl alt del and see what processes you have running, sounds like you might have some kind of process taking up memory. Just take out the one's your pretty sure you don't need and see if the slowness goes away. |

ok, I ran the "scan disk" then got crap cleaner, after that I defraged the drives (I couldn't before the scan disk). and problem solved
I recommend this crap cleaner program, it seems quite good |
