My problems are this; When you turn it on and you get past the screen that says "F2" for setup or whatever they say and you get the microsoft xp logo screen with the 3 blue squares that go thru the loading bar (like Knight rider), those 3 squares "lag" so to say as they go thru choppy not fluid like they should (so its easy to know you've got a problem just there. But also once the screen finally comes up to choose your screen name....you click on your name and it takes like 10 seconds for your icon to move down showing that it was selected. Next it takes windows around 6-7 minutes to boot up and be ready to run any programs. It used to be more like 10 mins but I stripped down my startup programs down to nearly none so that helped improve it a little. My normal time was about 30-45 seconds WITH all my programs starting on startup. Once the desktop is finally up and ready to go it takes programs a few seconds to react after double clicking. Internet explorer takes about 1-2 mins to load the homepage, after that it honestly isnt too bad, meaning that its just opening and loading the homepage that takes a while (most of the time). Another issue is I cant really play music or watch movies as the sound is very distorted like metallic sounding almost. It seems like the processer is overworked or something because the words in music will be slower and movies will be choppy. It also takes winrar 2-3 hours to unpack an archive when normal times were less than 10 mins for 4gb.
My problems started right after I had installed tvu player one night. I watched what I was trying to watch, unistalled it, rebooted and then it was slow boot followed by all of these problems. Now I cant say for certain that tvu player that caused my problems but its highly coincidental that my problems started right after that. Any help would be wonderful as I am trying not to do a system restore back to factory condition.
Here is a link to my topic in the malware forum as the guy helping me told me to.
