| 858492 | 2010-02-14 22:19:00 | My new PC has started running very very slow. Simple applications eg Windows Explorer will take ages to open. Have not installed any new programs or applications. Have done a System Restore. Have tried turning off AV, Outlook and MSM. It will come right and think everything is ok then it reverts to slow mode! Anyone any thoughts for a quick fix while I wait on my supplier to respond?! Many thanks Windows 7 Pro, x64-based PC, Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz, 2793 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 8 Logical. RAM-6.00 GB. 2TB HDD. IE 8. |

| 858493 | 2010-02-14 22:24:00 | Have you installed all the updates.Are you using a pic as the background, or a solid colour background?? I know the latter can slow win7 down. Its a known issue Post a log, and we'll see whats in it. Even tho you said you havent installed anything (altho dont know why you used SR, if you havent). Go to start/run, type msconfig. Go to the boot tab / advanced options. Change the number of processors to the max, then reboot |

| 858498 | 2010-02-14 22:56:00 | Click Start, type in reli select "Review Reliability History" When the chart pops up, look for a red circle with a white X - click it, look under Critical Event -- and if thats the time it slowed, there will list the problem app (s). | wainuitech (129) | ||
