Solve : This is really freaking me out?

Answer»

Ok I have been having problems with very slow opening programs and folders, I have had alot of good ADVICE and help on here, thank you very much. It is still running slower than normal but better, I clocked the times on a stop watch it was taking between 45 to 90 seconds to open My Documents, now it opens in around 15 to 20 seconds, the thing is just a few minutes ago I clicked and BOOM it instantly opened, just like it used to,I was stunned, so I went on an opening spree, everything opened instantly, man I was a happy camper, then quick as it started working right, it started opening slow again, BUMMER for sure man. I am at a total loss. Just thought I would share that with you all. Again thanks for all the help and advise. I am going to try Westren Digitals site and see if they can help, maybe its my hard drive, if not, maybe formatting my hard drive is my only option. Any other ideas before I do the dirty deed?Panda Activescan
Ewido Online ScanBefore you re-install everything, do this first:

1. Do you have Norton anti virus, Macfee anti virus and/or other anti virus programs installed? If so remove them all by using the Add/Remove program. (Except for AVG.)

2. If you don't already have AVG anti virus install AVG. The only anti virus program I trust.

3. Do a full virus scan.

4. Scan for spyware by using ad-ware, spybot and AVG anti spyware.

5. Add/Remove any programs that that you don't need.

6. Clean out you internet temp, cookies files etc.

7. Disable all startup programs.

8. Use RegClean to clean out your registry. Warning, read the instruction CAREFULLY before you do so. If you clean out the WRONG registry, some program you need may not work.

9. Reboot your PC in safe mode.

10. Clean your registry with RegClean in safe mode once more.

11. Reboot again, your computer should be in good shape. if this this doesn't work, you might have to go for the final resort - reinstall the OS.
