Answer 3

Few things I woudl suggest. I know you said no websites or downloads but I recommend you try this first



http://www.ewido.com



That will make sure you do not have any Spyware. If the slowdown is sudden, that is often times the problem



After you run that then try this



Go to START --> RUn and type EXACTLY what appears on the next line



chkdsk /f c:



Then a black screen will pop up, click YES then reboot. Rebooting will take about 5 minutes this time because its checking for errors



Then try this: Right click on My Computer --> Manage

Click on Disk Defragmenter then click DEFRAGMENT



Good Luck

Answer 4

Have you installed more than 256 mb RAM? if not buy some RAM .Its better to have 500mb if possible but 256 is also quite good.



Delete all unnecessary software from ur PC.



Check the paging files alloted. Do this--- open control panel then hit advanced tab under this u find performance under this settings .hit this.under this again advanced tab.

you can change paging file size



i recommend 500+

Answer 5

try doing a disk defrag. then when you went to msconfig did you go to the startup tab and unclick what you didn't need? the disk defrag should be under system tools when you click on start then programs then accessories it'll be under the system tools folder. and try running a virus scan. let me know if that helps.

Answer 6

Try to use a step-by-step confirmation bootup, you can pinpoint the module or driver or virtual device that is taking the longest out of all of them.



Good luck !

Answer 7

Make sure you have enough ram. I'd recomend at least a Gigabytes worth.

Answer 8

You can try Hover Inc's RegSeeker (http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm). This is a very good freeware, it can manage you your startup entries and scan for registry errors, which may be the root of your problem.
