With my luck with computers, I should have the Geek Squad on speed dial. Just got an HP Pavillion five months ago and it's slow as shc!t now  .I could call India for support, but I'm wondering if someone can give me some words of wisdom first. I've done disk cleanup and defrag.. Doesn't appear much in startup. Spec; AMD Turion 64X2 Mobile Tech. TL-60, 512KB+512KB L2 (2.0 GHz) 160GB HD 3072MB DDR2 SDRAM (2DIMM) 802.11 b/g WLAN Bluetooth nVidia GeForce 7150M Win Vista Home (32bit) |

Sounds like it is loaded up with spyware. Check this site out. I got the right software here free to take a trogan off of mine which made it run slower than hell. www.techsupportalert.com/ |

click start/run/ type in msconfig uncheck all that stupid crap you installed that's hogging your resources. also check your HD capacity, and make sure you have some free space. delete all your unnecessary junk and defrag once you are done. If you are an advanced user I would recommend running services.msc and disabling a few MS apps that you don't need. but chances are you might screw something up. ETA" you are using CA anti-virus... did you get that from tiger direct? I wouldnt recommend CA. they are only good for the free 2gb flash card... |

I got CA from Office Max. What would you recommend? |
