Very slow to open a word file?
I don't know why my notebook is extremely slow to open a word file or the file manager. I found the problem even when I didn't do anything else. I doubt it got virus. The notebook is a pentium III 500MHz with win98 O.S. laptop. It isn't a new type, but the speed is unusal. I have tried to check the word font. It seems the supporting font isn't really the trouble. And, The file size I tried is about 300KB. May be I should get an up-to-date virus scan software to try. |

It's not very possible you got a virus which only effects word.
Haven't you got other symptoms? Steve Miller "Peter Chang" schrieb im Newsbeitrag ... I don't know why my notebook is extremely slow to open a word file or the file manager.

Yes, I did. Whenever I was trying to open the file manager or control panel,
the notebook would pause for a while and the speed would be very slow. And the virus scan software, PC cillin would show me messages that two files got virus. Besides, I couldn't correctly install a mouse and whenever I was trying to remove a hardware, for example, mouse, the notebook would stop. It seems it was running something. This is the symptons I saw. Thank you, Steve! "Steve Miller" wrote: It's not very possible you got a virus which only effects word. Haven't you got other symptoms?

Have you tryed to got to startrun type msinfo32.exe hit OK (
I got a German Windows 98 Version, so it could be slightly other). A program will open. There in The third plus from top click Active Processes (it's the third entry from above again). I the right pane a list of programs running will appear. See if there all which are not belonging to what you have installed. You should delete them or ask baxk here before. So I could amswer if I'm used to some of them. Steve "Peter Chang" schrieb im Newsbeitrag news Yes, I did.

I can't really see which is the answer in the last message you wrote.
I will cut out all the text now and would want you to answer again. Did you check all the running processes in msinfo32.exe? Was there something unusual. In some of these notebooks is a option you can choose the processors speed in the bios. Are you used to this kind of adjustment? |

Thank you, Steve.
Right now my laptop is back to acceptable condition. Congradulations to myself! Before checking the MSINFO you told, I have tried to use new virus scan from trendmicro. Then I got more then 1100 files for virus, mailwares or adwares. It's fatal. I believe this is why the speed became very slow. Though I stil tried what you told me again. The third plus is the software environment. And if I open it up, I can find 7 items including drivers, running program, startup, OLE registration...and so on. Then I selected the running program; I could find a lot of programs are executing, for example, Kernel32.dll, MSGSRV32.exe, Mprexe.exe,...and so on. I have checked vendors. All programs now are supposed to what I installed. Thank you very much! It backs to normal now.
