Hunter Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 Don't....let me repeat that....DON'T get McAfee, it is the biggest system hog on the market....aside from vista its self that is. Just go with AVG free (or Avast Antivirus) for your antivirus, and adaware and spybot for your spyware defense. All are free and work very good. McAfee it by far and away the slowest and most "system hungry" software out there today. Serously do some research on the subject before you spend 40 to 60 dollars on a program that sucks and you have to "subscribe" to their service every year just for updates (give them more money basically)! @ You are 100% correct pardner. I have been using Avast and Spybot for over a year with no problems. McAfee ate my computer up and Norton was no better. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest C# guy Posted April 11, 2008 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 1st try this....... Do the 3 finger salute. Press [CONTROL], [ALT], [DELETE] keys all at once This will bring up the windows Task Manager Click on the Processes tab Click twice on CPU This will show what is running on your computer. Click on ImageName to get a look at everything in alphabetical order Then GOOGLE the name that you suspect. ex.... DVDTray.exe Then proceed from there , remove the offending program or just disable it. Common causes..... Bittorrent running in the background, 2 users logged in and one is running a program that you can't see or even check if windows is doing an automatic update. That happened to me. I'm in the middle of something. Then everything slowed down to a crawl. I checked the lower rightside of my taskbar, there was windows update doing it's automatic thing. hope this helps a little.

BlackSven Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Vista still has a few problems, Microsoft hasn't got all the kinks out yet. Alot of people are having trouble with Vista. You should wait till everything is working right before purchasing anything with Vista. Or just install or re-install XP Pro. You couldn't pay me to run vista. I would still be running 2000 pro if they didn't stop making drivers for it. Better yet...win95........ (sniff) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSven Posted April 12, 2008 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Vista works ok for me, you just have to get used to it! With 98 and XP, I've had to wipe and reload my OS 2-3 times a year from the junk that piles up. I had 2K on my system for 2 years and never had a problem. From what I heard about vista, it's more of the same. But I could be wrong, I don't have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
