If it is, this is 1 reason why.

How much ram is installed?

Also when your there left click on your hard drive & bring up the hard drive properties when there at the bottom of the window you may see these text labels:

“Compress drive to save disk space” & “allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching”

Are they ticked? If so un tick them.

Hope this helps :)

488353 2006-09-30 12:21:00 One possibility is bad sectors on your hard drive .

Start/My Computer
Right click on your drive and choose Properties
Click on the Tools tab
Under Error-checking click Check Now
Tick both boxes then Start

Windows may ask to check the drive after a restart . That's normal .

See how that goes .
