Whew, where to start? This is beginning to drive me crazy, close to throwing the comp out the window!!
First, typing this was a chore..I would type, nothing appears, then presto all appeared..
My computer has gotten extremely slow/sluggish.
I recently got the Verizon Fios, and while the test confirmed my dl/ul speed, going to pages is worse than dialup..
When I am on IE, I constantly get the "NOT RESPONDING" message..Then all of a sudden it comes back to life..
I get this "not responding" message with almost any application I try to open, then it works.
Today I tried to rip some music off a cd, I inserted the cd into the drive..Nothing.
I selected MY COMPUTER> DVD Drive> Play.....The computer FROZE.
I went to windows task manager> select END PROGRAM.....The prgram shuts down, and EVERY ICON on my desktop disappears, I can sumon up the task manager, it says all the programs are running, BUT NOTHING APPEARS!!
I had to reboot in order to get to anything.. This happened several times before I gave up..
Even going from one user to another is eventful..Sometimes the same icon dissapearance occurs..
I have run PC-CILLIN, Adaware,spybot, spysweeper, Ewido, nothing was found..
I tried using my Roxio media program, THIS froze up as well..
I am running XP home
2003 Gateway 700X comp
Intel 2.66Ghz P4 processor
512mb RDRAM PC800 memory
128mb NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4200G graphics card.
These are more the major problems.....
But the not responding, and slow IE are getting to me..
Shutting down is also a chore..Minimizing applications would freeze.
Going from one program to another would fail to respond..
SIGH
Any ideas?
Thanks..
Last.........
IF, IF, I were to clean out this computer, and give it to my son......To replace his older one......
ANY recommendations on a new computer? Make/model
Any recommendations on where to purchase?
I only need the computer.........I have a new 19" monitor, and a very good surround sound speaker system......
THanks for letting me vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!
