if it doesn't start co-operating soon!! Lately it's been annoying me more than it usually annoys me. It doesn't seem to be able to do more than one thing at a time and it even struggles doing that. Its become intolerable. Ive defragmented it, run Spy Doctor, Crap Cleaner and still it takes its time with everything. Im sure its doing this on purpose just to irritate me.  |

Oh dear,it is annoying when that happens.
Have you downloaded any new applications recently.?
Sometimes that does it.
Any new firewall?

Im always downloading stuff. I ran Spy Doctor recently (which is really good and free from Google if you havent got it) pack.google.com/and it picked up a keylogger. I dont mind adware and cookies and all that but keyloggers are not good I use Firefox as Im sick of IE. Its far too slow but Firefox and other programs can take up to a minute or more to start after I click on them. |

I did have an extra spydoctor thing running but it slowed down my computer so much I got rid of it.
Maybe its your browser that is slowing it down then.
My virus checker comes on with the computer and it takes much longer than it used to to boot up.

Maybe it's time for a re-install, I do one at least once a year. It keeps it nice and fresh.  |

Only re-install if you need to. Rules are, If you look after the pc, it will look after you..  |

If you look after the pc, it will look after you.. I think I look after my laptop really well... it has some where nice to live, it has it's own room with all it's favorite toys such as it's printer and cam. It even gets to spend time outside when the weather is nice but does it look after me... **** no!! Not once has it taken me out to dinner, even offered to put the kettle on... Nope nada - the selfish.... |

I've been away for (too) long - thanks Cam for the reminder... Topgun... it could be down to usable drive space / memory... defragging a full drive won't help as the comp needs space on the hard drive to stash things for a little while.... If there's not much room, then maybe take off or archive pics - ( no pix not you... ) or anything else. equally if there's any software you no longer use remove it... THEN defrag. |
