post edited for contentSo... Is this only a problem when working within your browser? What browser and version number are you using?
For debugging purposes, have you TRIED invoking the browser in safe mode (see Safe Mode - Mozilla Knowledge Base). For example: o Start -> RUN -> type "firefox -safe-mode" without quotes and hit Enter key.
What i am saying is if i open a WEBPAGE and im done viewing it; I cant click on nothing i have to minimize it then maximize the firefox browser in order to type or go to the next web page, and when i click copy or paste it goes do *censored* slow and its not my mouse, mouse is working fine. Okay. As a test, close Firefox and invoke it (in Firefox safe mode). Same problem?
See if you have similiar problem while using Internet Explorer.With firefox yes, and with IE No, but i cant scroll with the mouse on IE I have to use the side scroll bar.So, this is only a problem when working within the "Firefox" browser? The rest of Windows and your other applications seem to work normally?
Did you try invoking Firefox from the "Start -> Run" box using "firefox -safe-mode" syntax? And the weirdness/slowness was still there?Ive tried that and the slowness is working with the whole computer IE is working fine.Okay. The ENTIRE computer is slow, even Internet Explorer; but Internet Explorer seems to be functioning correctly. Is that right?
I'm assuming the computer isn't normally this slow, and a "reboot" did not resolve the slowness.
Go to SysInternals website to download, unzip, and run the program "Process Explorer". It will display: o What PROCESSES are running o What percentage of the CPU time each is using o How much physical memory is "Available" at any given time o Whether your "swap" file is too small
Once, it is running; from the top menu bar left-click on the "View" pull down menu and select the "System Information" item. A "System Information" window will open.
In the bottom half, middle column, look for a Physical Memory section. We're interested in what it says for: o Total o Available
For swap file, look in the bottom left hand column for something that says "Commit Charge". There should be something like "Current/Limit" that shows the percentage of the virtual memory that is being used.
On the original "Process Explorer" window, the "Idle" process shows what CPU percentage on average? Total 981k Available 336k
Current/Limit 28%
And anywhere from 90-98%well?
