| 1381871 | 2014-08-16 03:07:00 | My neighbour complains that his Acer laptop has started to run slow. His OS is Win7 service pack 1 and the lappie has 3 GB RAM - yes 3 GB !!! When I had a look it’s running the following 88 process 26076 Handles 998 Threads 35% Memory 12 % CPU There are so many process that it’s difficult to know if there any that can be deleted. Is there a guide that we could use or some such app? Thanks |

| 1381877 | 2014-09-10 11:57:00 | Hi, I did experience same problems with my laptop and a friend gave me an advice to delete some irrelevant files because it might be the cause why it run so slow and it do good also. Foremost, I may recommend a reformat when things come to worst. I hope it will work out for you too. | reamslovenly (17283) | ||
