I received an HP G60-235dx for my birthday in JUNE 2009. It was running smoothly until around the beginning of November 2009. From then on out, my computer has been LAGGING a ridiculous amount. Even after ending unnecessary tasks, running one program can cut it really close. I've been looking for solutions for the past few months but nothing seems to do the trick. I've done nearly everything there is to do from an unexperienced Windows user's perspective:

- Installed various anti-spyware/malware programs
- Defragmented the disks
- Cleaned up the disks
- Cleaned the registry

I looked at my problem REPORTS and solutions and the following errors have been reported since November:

- Diagnostic Policy Service (3)
- Driver software installation (2)
- Host Process for Windows Services (7)
- hpqddsvc (137)
- Windows Search Indexer (14)
- Microsoft WPD FileSystem Volume Driver (2)
- Windows (9)
- Windows Defender Command Line Utility (
- Reliability analysis metrics calculation executable (4)
- Windows SQM Consolidator (1)

After looking at the solution to each of these problems, the following solution was common to nearly all of them:
