Slower than molasses! Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 1:31 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by hyphenate (4 messages posted) The laptop is running slower than molasses in winter! I don't know if I have a bug or something else slowing me down. The anti-virus (Comodo) isn't showing any problems, but I feel there is something going on! I checked the start-up config, and there are some things I'm not sure should be loading, but I don't have enough confidence to delete them [from the start menu]. The only things I have that I want to load from start-up are my Stickies, my Getright, and my Tivo apps, as I use them quite frequently. But there are, I believe, other things which load that are just sapping my memory. If I take one of my devices off its USB port, it takes almost a minute to have the audible tone to sound off. It takes about 5-7 minutes for Firefox to load after I have hit the button, and lately, it just seems to be like walking in mud. I do transfer quite a few of my Tivo TV shows, and then send them to an external drive for safekeeping, And I try to keep about 10-20 GB free on the hard drive at all times. (It's a 160 GB HD). I can post the HJT logfile ASAP if it will help. Thank you most kindly! Responses to this message: re: Slower than molasses! (MartinM: Tuesday, October 27, 2009 at 3:16 pm) re: Slower than molasses!
