Please look for info. on "Memory Leak". It appears to be
your problem. Program strings are left in RAM due to sloppy shutdowns. Each Shutdown adds to the loss of usable memory, until the system comes to a crash or hang. To test reboot the unit and see the increase in response. Look for "RAM Rocket" via search. Small s/w to reset memory. -----Original Message----- my computer is extremily slow opening programs such as IE,MY Computer,Control Panel,etc., It wasn,t always slow. . |

Hi Fred,
As I mentioned in my previous post, try the link I referred to, and do a thorough "clean up" on your machine. And PLEASE, don't resort to crapware/garbage/snake oil/useless P.O.S. like RAM Rocket--totally bogus software that they actually want you to pay money for. I wouldn't use it under any circumstances, even for free. None of the MS-MVP's would use it either.

slow computer
One quick thing to try is to move (most) everything out of the My Documents
folder into another folder and see if it helps. There is sometimes a problem if you have around 100+ folders in My Documents that causes slow openings. You can always move them back if it doesn't help. "fred" wrote in message ... my computer is extremily slow opening programs such as IE,MY Computer,Control Panel,etc., It wasn,t always slow. |
