| 1197338 | 2011-04-27 02:31:00 | Must be slow for a reason. Is the hdd IDE or SATA. If IDE, I would check and see if its running in PIO mode. In device manager. Is it a desktop or laptop? |

| 1197340 | 2011-04-27 02:43:00 | Did someone install the chipset drivers?? Whats the brand/model of the system / mobo? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1197341 | 2011-04-27 02:51:00 | mobo=elite las8a2 bios= pheonix award v6.0pg chip set=sis 648/sis 963 All mobo drivers installed |

| 1197342 | 2011-04-27 03:01:00 | That maybe one reason why its slow, it uses a SIS chipset. I had a SIS mobo a few yrs ago. And it took its time opening anything. It took at least 30 secs for anything to open. It lagged. In the end I biffed it |

| 1197343 | 2011-04-27 03:06:00 | I've been running this system for several years now. This is a new occurance but unfortunately I didn't make a mental note of when it started so can not tie it back to any one item. It is quite quite possibly due to one of the Avast auto up-dates that occur on a frequent basis but am not sure of this. |

| 1197344 | 2011-04-27 03:19:00 | Well if you think Avast is the cause, uninstall it. Then you'll find out | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1197345 | 2011-04-27 03:21:00 | Someone in the Avast forum suggested that I delete any and all entries for avast in ZoneAlarm Program control and reboot then install ZA entries again. I did this and my "gut feel" is that it is faster or at least back to the old speedyness (pardon the pun). I will report back after a reasonable time for confirmation. Cheers, PS that is with all the shields running as well ! |

| 1197346 | 2011-04-27 03:34:00 | I would get rid of ZA, its crap. Should have said ZA was installed at the beginning of the post | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
