Solve : Computer lagging? |
|
Answer» hey, can someone PLEASE help me? my computer seems to love giving me lag time. its a 2.8 ghz pentium four, 512 mb, about 115 gb of harddrive space. i've already tried cleaning out my registry, did spysweeper, spybot, and ad-aware, AND i have two different virus checkers: norton and microsoft antispyware. but no matter what i do, it still LAGS like no other. I mean, if i even run LIMEWIRE on it, my computer almost freezes. I'm thinking it has something to do with my hyperthreading stuff...how do i turn hyperthreading on or off, and if my problem ISNT due to that....PLEASE HELP!Before we start... eya...none of those links work They work fine over here... have you made any changes to your system recently? Any downloads? [glb]Flame[/glb]hmmm...not really. I mean, i attempted to clean my registry, but gave up...oh and those links? the thing is, they direct me to a site, but when i click on teh "scan now" thing, it directs me to this PAGE with a couple of nonsense words on it. This is what it gives me: Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: '[string: ""]' /spyxposer/pavspy2.asp, line 158drakx88..... Quote hey, can someone PLEASE help me? my computer seems to love giving me lag time. Has this pc even run properly......? If it has , I dont believe it has anything to do with hyperthreading. How long has this been going on ? Have you added anything that has caused this? You didnt say but you are running XP......do you have all the latest updates ? Quote eya...none of those links work They are working just fine ......so the issue is at your end . Are you using a proxy server by any chance ? Which version of Limewire are you using ? dl65 drakx88, you're right, the scanners aren't working for me either. Try downloading, updating & installing AVG then disable Norton for a test.dl65, i don't think i've added anything PARTICULAR to my comp, and yes, it HAS been working properly...but i dunno...it just started to get weird. I had limewire before, but then deleted it because someone told me it had a lot of spyware on it. But recently, i decided to install it again, the newest one, 4.9.something, and when i use it, my computer almost freezes cuz its lagging so much. I don't think i've put anything on my computer...ive already tried all teh "remedies" and none of them seem to work. I'm really at the end of my line here, and im getting really pissed off at the whole system. I don't know if i should just initiate a system restore, and just purge my comp of everything...but that would mean starting all over from scratch, which i do NOT want.drakx88..... How about removing Limewire and see how the pc reacts ........ If that clears up the lagging ....I would then reinstall limewire ......but use a earlier version ....I have heard of a number of people with problems with the latest version. Are you sure you didnt have the Beta version ? dl65 ummm beta? i dunno... i just dwlded w/e was on that site...how do i get an earlier version. yes, i did uninstall...and that clears up the lagging from the LIMEWIRE...but not much else...i basically need help with my computer lagging a lot in general. thanks though! OH! AND CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO TURN ON OR OFF MY HYPERTHREADING?!!! oh...and one more thing...wth is AVG?drakx88..... I believe you can toggle the hyperthreading from the bios ...... AVG ....is a decent anti virus program....and its free . dl65 dl65, what is a bios, how do i ACCESS it? and just in case, can you GIVE me specific info on how to access it? |
