I have put up with a slow PC for a few weeks (looking at an anti
spyware prog which seeemed to cause the slow down).
Now the PC has become almost immposible to use.
Booting up takes about 20-30 mins!
Opening just a browser window takes about 2 mins!
During nearly all this time the hard disk light is constantly on.
The same applies even booting into safe mode!
I have recently run a chkdsk and defrag (when the PC was just slow). It
would be almost immposible to run those now without it taking days.
Is there a way I can isolate what is causing this.
Note. All the stages of booting up take ages, it's not just once
Windows is running.
Thanks
Nigel
