HJT / Bit Sluggish And Slow
Jan 30, 2006I just scanned my sister's computer; she's been complaining that it's been a bit sluggish, and I've gotten help here before, so thought I'd try again.

What Is HJT Log? / Sluggish Lately
Jun 11, 2005My computer has been sluggish here lately. I have Ad-Aware, Asquared, Spyware Blaster, Spybot and just recently added AimFix and CCleaner (CCleaner seemed to clean a lot of junk out this morning). So can you help me with HJT Log if you think that will help and do you reccommend the above, cleaner, sweepers, scanners?

Aug 16, 2007Windows Explorer has about a two to five second delay (can work with other programs during delay, but can't open start menu or do other explorer functions) when navigating through folders and doing some context menu functions, such as deleting, cut & pasting, etc.Windows Explorer runs at full speed when creating new folders and files through context menus and while navigating through windows in the mini navigation windows, such as the window that opens when you wish to open a file with a program such as WinAmp.Recent actions before condition was noticed.I was trying to hook up to the net through the hotel's LAN drop with an ethernet cable. I finally get Windows to correctly detect the DNS server and begin surfing and attempting to play Warcraft III online. I play a horribly laggy game and then quit out and reboot my computer.I scan for viruses and find none, though I get a read error about some windows/system/ntos.something or what not. I decide to find some XP performance tweaking tools and found a recommendation for Ashampoo WinOptimizer and XP Smoker. I try both and neither fix the problem, but they cleaned out all my cookies I noticed. I uninstalled Ashampoo, but keep XP Smoker.

Oct 14, 2007My friend has a dell demension desktop that is running way slower than it should. I can't figure out why. Her CPU is a P4 2.66 GHz; with 1.25GB PC2700 RAM; 80G HDD (using 25%); The only hard ware installed is a printer, high speed modem, and ipod. I updated the drivers for those, and still no help. I also went through add/remove programs and got rid of those that she will never use, I did not remove any system critical programs, I'm an advanced user so I know what not to delete. I also went into the system tools and stopped some services for running auto on system boot. Like her Ipod, I set to manual, Printer (not spoolsvc) I set to manual, etc. I also ran a defrag on the HDD. Still, not much difference.

Oct 22, 2005I'm runnin XP Pro with a P4 2.6 ghz processor overclocked to 3.2 ghz. I have 2 IDE hard drives with my main drive as master with 3 partitions and my slave drive as cable select with 2 partitions. Any time I use explorer (not internet explorer, i'm talking about the normal windows OS) to access any of my volumes it takes a hell of a lot of time to show the files in the window. Usually, it takes about 30 seconds for the files to show, and during that 30 seconds, explorer.exe stops responding. What is my problem, and how do i fix it?? I've defragmented everything, but haven't screwed with my page file, if that has anything to do with the problem.

Feb 5, 2007Ever since I installed Webroots SpySweeper, my computer has been running much slower than usual - even after I uninstalled the program and all its remanents from my registry. The worst part however, is media. Ever since then, any audio and video does not play properly on the computer - it just lags and plays very choppily.My computer has tested free of any spyware/adware/malware, as well as any viruses. Almost nothing is set to start up with my computer, and the registry is cleaned. As well, Opera is the only web browser I ever use, and I do not have my windows set to automatic update.

Dec 27, 2005I'm about to try reinstalling XP because it's been sluggish for months already, so I want to see if this will help, since I suspect a Trojan or whatever.Anyway, the reinstall disc offers 2 options:
(1) Upgrade
(2) new reinstall
If I choose upgrade, would I risk that my system would remain with its present problems? Or should I rather choose new reinstall?

May 29, 2010Windows XP is having some hangups.When logging on, using either my account/profile or my wife's, it takes 5-8 minutes for the system to be ready to use.

May 10, 2010Lately my computer has been extremely slow, not just internet slow but onboard slow. For example, if I click on an application from the desktop it will sit there for 10-20 seconds before anything happens. Occasionally I'll click multiple times on something and nothing will happen then 30 seconds later it will open multiple instances of things. This delay has been happening with just about anything I click on, acting like the computer's busy doing something else when nothing else should be going on. I've looked in the task manager and the applications column will be blank

Dec 12, 2005Anyhow, on my second laptop, my roommate borrowed it and of course has no idea what she could've possibly ever done. She's probably a lil' too dense to realize if she download or got some kind of virus using it. And, of course, she didn't bother telling me right away so when I went to start up the laptop one day, it was going extremely slow.It took about 10 minutes for the laptop to boot to the windows login screen. Any mouse movement whether on the mousepad or when I hook up my USB mouse takes about 1 minute to register any movement. I haven't even been able to get to the main desktop screen. (I'm trying as I type.. but, judging by the length of how long it took the other stuff, I could be in for a long wait.) Even when I typed in the password it took about 5 minutes for it to seemingly type out.. but the "dots" cut off so I have no idea if it actually will go through or not or if I will get the "incorrect password" error message.
