What's really causing major computer slowdown? I keep my anti-virus updated and perform daily scans. I also scan for spyware, keep my program startup disks defragmented, and trimmed to a minimum. My computer still looks slow and I don't know what else to try. –Emil Butler
You mentioned in Your email that you've only got a full 1 gigabyte RAM: that may not be sufficient to operate the computer faster, so you might consider upgrading to 2 GB or more. On the other hand, some slowdown actually comes from the operating system as file pile up and the rest of code bloats the system-something that even defrags the registry scan and can't always address.
When was the last time you performed a full reformat to restore the OS to scratch? Check to see if you have a "recovery disc" to your system. If not, contact the manufacturer of your system and see if You can order a set. Be sure to back up your data first! And we can always help you.
