Re: excrutiatingly slow laptop
Go to `Start`>`All Programs`>`Windows Defender`.In the new window that
appears,select the `Tools` option.Now click `Software explorer`.
Make sure that `Startup Programs` is selected from the drop-down menu
available.Click on the command button `Show for all users`.If asked for the
administrator password,enter it.If asked for a confirmation,click
`Continue`.After the pane refreshes itself,copy-paste here the programs that
are listed.

I have toshiba satellite 2gb ram 160gb harddrive vista home premium. I
turned on my old desktop the other day - it has 128ram 3gb hard drive and
windows ME (the worst Ive heard) and it performs 10 times faster than my new
one. I have read lots of blogs on vista about it being slow but is it this
slow or is something very wrong? I thought some of the problem was with
dial
up but i now have broadband and is no better. I dont know what programs etc
to turn off as I dont know which ones are needed and which ones arent...am
not very computer savvy when it comes to all that stuff.
