View 14 RepliesWhen I'm burning DVD-s with nero the computer is very slow!I mean like the mouse even is lagging (i'm not sure if that is the right word ), when I click on an icon the indication (when it gets blue or something) is coming after a second or more.If winamp is playing a song, it starts drawling (the same happens when i click on thumbnail veiw of a movie on a dvd!)!
When i try to start a program, or open a folder the buffer (that nero shows) is at 100% and the folder opens after a 15-20s!When i open more than one program, the buffer drops to 50% and the computer is even slower!When the burning ends everything is ok..the computer is behaving normal!What could be the problem!I don't think it's from the hardware (1 GB Ram, Athlon 64 (3200+), 128MB Video)!Now i'm scanning with mcafee 2008 and after that i'll run ad-aware and spybot!
My computer seems to be slowing down and hanging up every so often. When I start XP I go into task manager and see bunches of programs runnings. A lot of *.exe files. How do I get rid of them?? How do I know which ones to get rid of? They may be virous, extra junk form previous installs? I do run Nortons anti-virous program. I don't want to reformat and reinstall XP but I may need to.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI added a 512mb stick and 500gb hard drive to an AMD 1.7mhz system that was running fine but just out of disk space (figured as long as the chassis was open to throw in the ram too). Now I can barely use the darn thing. Runs extremely slow. Audio and video and useless, responses are crazy - even the mouse is herky-jerky. Went into taskmanager and there is one program that seems to be using a lot of processor time but I alway have that one running even in the 'old' configuration. I can kill it and it helps a little bit but why should more resources make things worse. I have AVG running for virus checking and regularly run adaware and spybot for malware checking. Checked system settings and everything looks fine there as well - cache, VM, performance, etc. all set to normal levels (768mb by the way).

a Dell Latitude laptop with XP pro, SP3 and all updates. Recently I found the cpu running at 3-4 % with only the desktop, Avira, and Windows Defender running. Normally cpu is down to 1% with these programs running. I turned off automatic updates and avira and defender but cpu was still at 3-4 %. How can I find out the cause of this? I do not know which of several svchost processes is causing the problem, this one uses about 35Mb with firefox open, 31Mb when I close it.
View 8 Replies View RelatedMy computer is slowing down to a crawl. The other night it was working fine. The next day a after work it was running slow so I cleared the temp files cache files, history files, scanned for spyware but the more I did the slower it got. I defrag it and it got slower. It's gotten to a point now that it will take forever to open anything and even when it does finally open it's soooo slow. It seems like it's running out of memory. Even when I click start to reboot it will take forever to open and when I click on shut down it will take forever to open too.

I have winxp and everything that is required for the satellite internet.
View 14 Replies View Relatedi have a spywear problem that seems to drastically slow my computer down. It also slows my internet down on this computer. I am using networked DSL and the server functions about 4 times as fast. i get a little widows error thingy in the tast bar (see picture) that says, "your computer is infected!" this is quite annoying as the little bubble comes up every 10 seconds and makes a popping noise. to get rid of this ive done 3 avast virus scans and 3 ad-aware scans. I also did a scan each in safe mode, but still niether avast and ad-aware couldnt find anything. also spysheiff downloads itslef, and comes with trogens, malwear ect. i will post a Highjack this log for all the geniuses to see if they can find anything.
on a side note, in all my attempts to fix this is seems ive locked the background from allowing picrures. if anyone can help with this it would be apprechiated aswell. The desktop screen print is also on the picture.

Recently formatted and reinstalled onto my rig after a catastrophic error. System was running fine before format, and fine afterwards until now. Today I had XP crawl to a grinding halt twice, which was only curable with a touch of the restart button.I have run COMODO, no virus/malware. Checked RAM, all fine no errors. Thought that it may be the CPU overheating, but all system fans are working fine, heatsinks are clear of any dust or dirt buildups.

I went out of town for 2 weeks, came home and my pc is acting really strange. I've been getting tons of pop-ups, to the point my computer freezes and i must restart. Not only that but it randomly reboots itself even when not being used. Also, when i go to delete files now, the file does NOT go into the recycle bin. I looked at the settings and there is no check mark next to the "do not move files into recycle bin". My BF said he had been downloading things so I figured maybe its a virus or something. I ran Nortons... nothing. Ran AVG... nothing. A friend told me it sounded like spyware so he told me to run Adaware & Spybot. Did that, found a ton of stuff. But when i retarted the pc, it wanted to start in "safe mode". I noticed that most of these pop ups are (search miracle ??) Found info that its a trojan, but i dont know. . I dont know what to do, totally computer illiterate.

I am sure that the bios have been affected and attempts to boot from either a floppy or cd get ignored in the loading process and the bios canot find the module to activate the periferal devices ie: keyboard, mouse, usb ports. I am at a total loss of how to do this.

View 10 Replies View RelatedHow does one begin troubleshooting an application that appears to install correctly but fails to start in Windows XP ?I am trying to install the same application on two nearly identical Windows XP workstations. The application (Maxon NET render) installs and runs fine on computer A. On computer B, however, after the application appears to install without error it simply does not start. Clicking the application shortcuts or the executable itself causes the computer to think for a moment, the mouse icon turns into a spinning hourglass for a few seconds, then nothing happens.

However they are giving me their old PC, which I will be using to install Linux on and use as a learning tool for myself.The problem comes in that they would like to use their XP Home license on the new machine. The old machine is a Compaq, and Compaq only supplies rescue disks.not an actual XP disk.Is there anyway for me to get their legally owned copy of XP onto their new machine without them having a store bought XP Home disk? I do have access to a XP Home disk, is it possible to do the install with that, and just enter their Product Key, or will that be recognized as an incorrect Product Key?
