it should be noted that last night I was experiencing the same symptoms. Under orders of Dell customer support, I had to use the XP install disc to recover and fix some files. I'm not sure which files were corrupted, but the fix did work.
View 10 RepliesMy laptop has recently been lagging severely and randomly disconnecting from the internet. It hasn't done this before and when I scan with my antivirus it doesn't find anything. But when I run my computer in safe mode I have no problems at all, so its probably a virus.

View 14 Replies View RelatedJust about anything that takes a little effort causes the fan to speed up and those popup windows warning me about it. In my Mandriva OS on a separate HD it can work hard and hardly a whimper from the processor. What's going on? I'm afraid I'll burn my processor up in XP Home.

I killed the one that was taking up the most memory usage and the computer was slightly better... in Paint, I could actually use the Pencil tool without lagging, but the scrolling and paintbucket was laggy still.

I have tried everything I can think of I ran a system defrag, error check and virus/spyware scanners. It showed that I had no viruses and only a few tracking cookies on my computer.

The other night, while on the internet, came left my computer alone, only, to come back to a 'hacker' using my cursor and accesing my programs, which gave me a hell-of-a-fright.I have updated all my anti-virus programs, and I have scanned and ELIMINATED all the visible buggers, yet I still have BAD lag.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just recently started having trouble with computer moving slow. When i boot up it seems fine. I have cable connection. When i go into websites like msn it takes forever for me to get into anything. I ran spybot and removed a BUNCH of stuff. But it is still happening. Do I need to stop stuff at start up? If so how do I know what to stop? How can I find out what's running in the background?I know nothing about computers other than mines slow all of a sudden.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure what's been happening lately, but my laptop has been running kind of laggy and slow. My specs are as follows:I initially thought that my computer would only slow after I started Trillian, but I tested this (by not starting Trillian), and it seems it will still slow a few minutes after a restart. Restarting my laptop seems to solve this problem temporarily.Keeping it in safe mode (I'm posting in Safe Mode w/ Networking right now) seems to also keep the problem at bay.

View 11 Replies View RelatedI currently have four hard drives, and I have noticed a problem on one of them that in windows related. The drive is not my OS drive, and only stores data. I have noticed that when I try to access or add files to folders on the drive, windows will lag for 5-10 seconds. I click on a folder and the system lags, then after 5-10 sec the folder I clicked is highlighted, and I can open it and its subfolders with out further problem. During this 5-10 sec, the explorer window is frozen. If I back out to a root folder, and try again, the same thing happens.When I try to save files to this folder from the internet I get the same thing. I right click an object, click “save as…†type in or retain the default name, navigate to this folder, and click Save. My IE window freezes.

When I click on a link or typing (it did it just then) it doesn't do anything for several seconds, up to a minute. It is slower than it once was. Could there be something running in the background? My system is a P4, 1.7 ghz with 512mb of ddr ram running XP Home with a dsl connection. I don't hink it should be that slow. Could you help me? Do I need to reformat and/or reinstall the OS? If so could you give me instructions on this procedure?
View 10 Replies View RelatedMy computer is lagging up to the point where I'm getting ready to format, just wondering if someone could take a peak at my HJT log and let me know of any baddies in there. I run spybot and Adaware all of the time and I use Avg Antivirus.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI just got this computer a week ago and it was working fine until now. when i start up the computer or restart it, everything is normal except for when it gets into windows and my desktop shows up, it hangs there and freezes for about 30 seconds.i thought maybe there was some program in the start up menu that was causing this but i checked and nothing looked out of the ordinary. i took a log in case something might be in there causing this problem.
View 11 Replies View RelatedI am having some problems with my computer and cant really pinpoint the problem.the computer is a Q6600 - but when opening a program, opening a file from a program, there is always a lag, it would freeze for 5 to 10 seconds before anything happens. I suspected adware/virus, but it's not. I tried installing a fresh copy of windows XP onto a new hard drive, but the lag/slow problem is still there, usually it takes no more than 30 minutes to install windows, but it took over 1hr 30 mins to install.I am thinking hard ware issue, I've tried replacing the RAMs, but still the same, now im thinking maybe the powersupply.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI thought it was this new game i installed, it would lag about every minute and a half, for about 10 seconds at a time. So i uninstalled the game. The only problem is now the computer seems to get bogged down much easier (running AIM and windows media player at the same time makes WMP songs slow), and enters 10 second "slow periods". This never used to happen.
View 7 Replies View RelatedWhen I open certain folders in my computer, these folder tend to take ages to load. I checked the graph in the performance window (Ctrl+Alt+Del) but there was no suddeny increase of CPU usage. Others folder is normal, I double click and it show nicely. Just for certain folder. Is it because of the number of files in the folder? It dont happen when I open my C: drive but if i open that particular folder. The windows explorer just stop responding.. and i had to wait for it to come out. If i access a folder under it and hit back or up, again it will stuck there again n wait for it to load.

View 14 Replies View Relatedi'm running Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 Edition, with all the latest updates, all my drivers are up to date but when I preform general tasks such as web browsing my computer lags badly.It takes forever to log into Windows and takes even longer to load Firefox up. Sometimes I get the (Not Responding) appear in the title bar, and the whole computer will lock up only to suddenly come back to life in a minute or so.It's been doing this about a month after I got it, but when Windows is first installed after a format it runs as smooth as a whistle then after a hour or so it starts to lag. I doubt its the RAM as im running 1GB's worth and the computer isnt that old I only got it brand new last year.
View 10 Replies View RelatedYet another "fix" for this problem. Many fixes out there, none of them worked for me. Found out what my fix was, undoing another tweak! If you have an undersized cpu(Duron 800) for running Geforce4 like me, it might do the trick for you too. Right click on "My Computer" and choose Properties. Choose Advanced, choose Settings under Performance. Choose Advanced again. There, change back to Programs incase you have it set for Background services and Systemcache.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI've recently uninstalled a program I had on my computer called Venturi2. It had been running in the background and didn't seem to be serving any purpose so did so. I did get the feeling it had something to do with graphics though.This was maybe 2 days ago. I tried playing a game right now (Command and Conquer) and for some reason it was lagging horribly. I've ran it fine in the past. Are these two things related? Either way is there some way to redownload the program? I've tried googling all over but the only links I find are linking to an informer.com domain, whereupon it says it doesnt have the software but to try googling it.
View 11 Replies View RelatedEver 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.
