Recently (for an unapparent reason) Windows take 2-4 minutes to load up, when
three days ago it took only 30 seconds.
I thought possibly Spyware, Trojans, etc... had bogged it down so I ran:
McAffee Virus Scan, Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, Giant Anti-Spyware AND
installed Zone Alarm
I also went into my registry editor and looked for any bad files.
I run a Alienware Laptop - 3.4 GHZ Pent 4 - 1 GB RAM - Ge Force FX Go5700
vid card - 60 GB (30.6 used) hard drive
I have absolutely no idea why it suddenly loads windows incredibly slowly,
Any Ideas? I would love NOT to reformat/reboot if I can avoid it.
