Hi Bola, (Mark)

Though you describe that you received no response, I see from reading your prior posts, that you did receive competent recommendations. Unfortunately, you did not post back with all of your progress and/or additional questions.

We can best help, if we do know whether or not the Member has applied the recommendations, and what result occurred.

So let's start again.
Please reply with whether or not you've taken the recommended steps below, and with what result.
Please continue to follow the problem-solving in this thread, without starting new, or replying to your other, threads, until we have the matter resolved, or until a referral recommendation is made here for any necessary new thread.

your statements:

I installed Kaspersky,should I eliminate Symantech.

_________

For the time-being, leave your D:\ drive alone! (HP Recovery(D:) )
It is apparently your backup-Restore disk and if so, any changes would compromise your ability to repair your machine in the event of catastrophic failure. (Both Paws and Shelf Life have previously pointed this out in their replies)
_________

If Dell did not supply Vista Installation or Dell Recovery and Drivers CD/DVD, then there is the additional (Highly Recommended) issue of Create Backup Disks.
You should take up this issue promptly, make the Disks, and store them securely in a location away from your computer.
_________

Yes, you should be running only one AntiVirus actively on your machine at any one time.
Having two running active will slow the machine, cause conflicts, possibly leave you vulnerable, and cause crashes.
Best practice would be to select the utility that you prefer to keep and completely uninstall the other.
If you intend to keep Kaspersky, uninstall Norton/Symantec. or vice versa
________

Yes, again. From your "hand-typed" list of installed programs and applications, there will very likely be some areas where you can reduce the CPU/RAM load on your machine.

To take action on this issue, we'll need some important additional information.
The most thorough and easiest way to obtain the information, will be for you to Run the Full Tests at http://www.pcpitstop.com. It's safe, secure, (free) and takes only about two minutes on BroadBand connection.
(just a little more on dial-up)

Using Internet Explorer - Please go to http://www.pcpitstop.com
In the left-hand column, click on Full Tests
You will be asked to Register with a valid email address, create a password, and accept an ActiveX to enable your machine to Run the Full Tests. The entire process is quick, (free), and safe.

Once you receive your Full Tests - Results, click on the TechExpress Link information.
Copy/Paste the entire TechExpress Link information back here into this Thread.
We'll review/analyze it with you and help wherever necessary with recommended steps to take.

After you take the above steps, and reply with the above requested information, we can better assist with any Hard Drive issues. (again, leave your D:\ (recovery) drive alone at this time)

We can then also assist with getting your Printer up and running.
Some older Printers absolutely refuse to Run with the new Vista Operating System.
Give us the complete Brand and Model Number of your Printer and what steps you've taken to install its Drivers (and with what results) We'll research from there.

Best Regards
Doug

if you have enough disk space download ccleaner get it here and it will probably give you 200mb or something by deleting carp** files with it, plus it's completely free. it's great, take it out for a try

Thanks for all your replies.I recently did what you told me to do.I went to Pitstop optimize and ran the full tests.Here are the results.Please when you have a chance tell me what I can do to effectively remove programs which my computer does not need.I appreciate all you guys do.Thank you.Mark Hamilton

Hi, Just follow the directions from PC Pitstop, you have a number of non essential items running on your machine that will try to slow it down, you also need to defrag your c drive. IMPORTANT do not do anything with your D drive, this is for restore purposes only, do not put anything extra on your d drive or alter it in any way. The purpose of your d drive is to reinstall your operating system if you hit dire and very serious problems that cannot be addressed by more conservative methods. You are running peer to peer filesharing on this machine, this is considered by some people to be a risky practice ,some of the files that you download may be infected with undesirable elements (a lot are) so you need to exercise extreme caution and consider carefully if the risks of this type of filesharing are ones you wish to run. If you wish to continue using these P2P fileshares than make sure that your anti virus is always fully up to date, independently scan every downloaded fileshare before use, install all critical updates to your operating system, make sure your 2 way software firewall is correctly configured. It is important that you consider carefully the wisdom of opening any attachment to any email you may receive. Do not open any attachment unless you are sure that it comes from a known reliable source and that you have requested the sender to send it to you. If you have any doubts do not open it. I see that you have installed MY Web Search although Bob had you uninstall it previously in the malware removal forum. If you follow the recommendations in the PC Pit stop report and take note of the above you should have a good chance of enjoying a servicable and efficient computer again again. Regards paws
