It's a new computer and it's already slow!


Question Posted Monday February 25 2008, 8:51 pm

I just got a new Windows Vista computer.. I've had it for about a month now. At first it worked amazingly well but but it takes about 2 solid minutes for any program to open or for any webpage to load. I have iTunes, MSN messenger, AIM, and Limewire all on this computer.

Is there I way I can fix this without wiping everything? I'm desperate. Thanks in advance!

The only thing i can think of is Limewire

I had it on my computer for about a month and a half and it completly destroyed my computer, we had to get it totally redone for it to work

The only thing i can think of is to delete limewire and delete all the songs you got from it (because those are the accual files with the viruses)

i hope i helped

Follow my guide:

Pay particular attention to the first step. Uncheck everything in msconfig that you don't need running *all the time*. This won't prevent you from running them, it just stops them from running 24/7.

Instead of running both MSN messenger and AIM, consider running pidgin, qnext, or SIM. These allow you to send and receive on both AIM and MSN, in one program. Links:
