ok, i turn on my comp from being shutdown. it loads up just fine, shows all icons, etc. i click start and it opens start menu. but i double click somethin on the desktop, and it doesnt do anything for about 20 seconds or so, then its almost as if the desktop refreshes and it opens. anyone know anything about this? oh yea it doesnt make the loading sound. thanks

This is probbably something to do with your RAM. You might have too many programs running with not enough memory... I can't really think of anything else the problem may be. My Compaq used to do that, so, I upgraded the RAM and the problem was no more... If it's the RAM, then try a program like FreeRAM, or get a RAM upgrade.

There's a good chance that one of your programs is hanging. Maybe it's spyware or something. A hijackthis log would be helpful.

(It didn't say I couldn't use it, besides, there's people with Cursing in their locations, so what's the difference?)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just because other people do it, doesnt make it right. If you see swearing in a persons location then pm an administrator.

(That's just being a lame narc.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Your computer problem is most likely, as dragon said, in your RAM. Could you provide us with basic system info of your computer? (processor speed, RAM, OS, and manufacturer. That can all be found by right clicking my computer and hitting "properties")

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here's a couple basic solutions, or at least good attempts at fixing this problem.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A) Buy more RAM

 

 

 

B) *This is if you have some kind of clue as to what you're doing* Go to start > run > type msconfig > go to the "startup" tab, and see what programs are starting up during the boot. If you find something that just isn't necessary (like a game launch program, such as Steam, used for all the Half-Life games) then uncheck it.

 

 

 

C) You can always try a basic system clean up. Run a form of spyware remover. I recommend Lavasoft Adware Remover. This program can be found here.

Once you've run that basic spyware remover, if you really want to optimize your computer...try using Advanced System Optimizer. It's a nifty 30-day trial that can be deleted and reinstalled when you need it. Just run the basic checks provided with that program. It's rather user friendly.

 

 

 

That can be found here.

Last but not least, a basic windows defrag (assuming you're running a windows machine) would be the last thing you do.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I hope this can help you out. The things I suggested could always be too much for what you're trying to do, but who doesn't like an entire system cleanup every so often? It'll keep your computer healthy. Thanks for helping me pass the time, my breakfast is done finally.

As bman wrote, giving your computer a tune up would be a good idea.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As for defragging, a good program is this

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Also, get tunexp, if you're running Windows Xp. It can tweak your system, and give it an added boost in performance. Just be careful when playing around with the options. It can be found ]here.
