Hey guys,

My system in siggy,Its just not fast as i think it should be,it slow at booting i have to wait about 3 minuites after ive logged one before i can click on anything or it just takes foreever.

for example,il log on and the desktop will apear but it i click on Firefox or start menu as the desktop appears its slow and laggy.

also it takes ages to shut down?

im just fed up with it now? IS it Vista?

Its a fresh install of Vista aswell,i dont have many things starting up at startup exept the crap microsoft already have start up by default...windows sidebar is disabled and AERO.

Have you run memtest? maybe it's faulty RAM thats bottlenecking it.

i ran that memory test that Vista has and it said the memory was fine,but maybe i should run memtest.

how long should i let it run for? overnight?

I'd let it run for a few hours, or overnight. The longer you run it the more thorough it is.
 
Try running CCleaner, it can really help at times. :) Make sure you have it clean up the registry as that can take care of a lot of problems.

its a fresh install mate.

i ran Memetst from 5.15 today till around 8:30 and it found nothing,surely if my memory was faulty it would have picked it up within that time?
