| 731317 | 2008-12-21 01:00:00 | If anyone could help.. I have vista 32-bit SP1 Premium Home Edition. My laptop is running Dual core 2.26ghz, 3gb ram - and has in excess of 200gb free space on the hard drive. In the last couple of weeks i have noticed, when ever i open a program.. eg. excel, I explorer, google chrome. It lags , comes up with "not responding" then after 2 minutes the "not responding" disappears and its fine. It mainly does it on start up, but also when it is the first time i use that program that day. It's not a biggie, but is rather annoying. My disk optimization is 1%..:horrified Any Ideas????? Thanks in advance:D |

| 731319 | 2008-12-21 01:35:00 | www.winvistaclub.com Turn off Indexing for starters. Get CCleaner and run that. Runa antimalware apps too to make sure its clean. Take all the clutter out of your startup as well. |

| 731320 | 2008-12-21 21:08:00 | I have left indexing on, because when I first get the laptop (2 months ago) it comes with it on, and I wasn't having those issues. I ran Malware check took 1 hour and a half and no issues were found :( My start up has nothing, except msn. I have CC cleaner and run it on a regular basis. I have a feeling - it might of removed some registry files that are causing the problem... but I don't really have a clue.. :crying:crying |

| 731321 | 2008-12-21 21:57:00 | Certainly should be instant on a laptop like yours, how much virtual memory is set on the PC? (System + adavanced settings, 3.6Gb?) Was there anything you changed or installed that might relate to the problem? Also what impact would applying a restore to a month back have on you - noting that you don't lose current documents it's just a system restore ( but read up on it prior to doing it) |

| 731323 | 2008-12-21 23:04:00 | Just in case ... check the properties of something that shows the problem and confirm nothing ticked in the compatabilities tab | Ofthesea (14129) | ||
| 731324 | 2008-12-21 23:29:00 | Click start, in the search box type in CMD , when it appears RIGHT click it, select"Run As Administrator" - when the box opens type in sfc /scannow <press Enter> the system will scan for damaged files and repair any it finds.(will take some time) Its more than likely damaged system files someplace - indexing will slow the PC down a bit, but I'd be surprised if thats the cause of the problem, one way to check is to disable indexing and see if it still does it. |

| 731326 | 2008-12-22 04:54:00 | So what did you do? Or did it just come right by itself? If so, then it can go wrong by itself too. | mark c (247) | ||
