I don't think doubling the RAM will make any difference. I suspect it could be a network issue - if you've got a low powered NAS/server that handles everything, that may be where the bottleneck is (if it only applies to shared drives/network/internet). Can you see if the same thing happens when...

I think there may have been some crossed wires or misunderstanding, as I can't see any harassment at all. Delving is trying to help you, but in the other thread: https://www.w7forums.com/threads/how-to-delete-avast-software-key-from-windows-7-ultimate-registry.21296/

Sure thing, there's a help section here: https://www.w7forums.com/help/ There's also a link at the bottom of the page.

Welcome to the forums, Alan :).

Hi Alfie, welcome to the forums!

Hey there @flashharry, welcome to the forums :).

Do you see any errors or problems on your USB controller in Device Manager? It could be as simple as installing the latest chipset drivers for your motherboard: https://www.asus.com/us/Motherboards/PRIME-A320M-K/HelpDesk_Download/ (select your OS version, then look for the chipset driver...

Hi @nijjhar, don't worry about that e-mail, it's a common scam that is sent out on mass to lots of people - they're just hoping that a few people will be concerned and pay up. It's easy for them to make e-mails that appear to come from someone else, unfortunately (although it's highly unlike...

It was using that same link from the first post - if you use your scroll wheel on the mouse while hovering over that list, does it work then? I can't find a reliable direct link to the downloads, only that page. Perhaps try using Chrome as your browser (that's what works for me on that page).

There should be a scroll bar where you can view a few more downloads, I've attached a screenshot of what I see:

For 32-Bit Windows 7 download: windows6.1-KB976932-X86.exe 537.8MB For 64-Bit Windows 7 download: windows6.1-KB976932-X64.exe 903.2MB They're at the bottom of the list :).

Hi Sandie, Have you tried any other anti-virus software to see if it can remove it? Perhaps you could try something like the ESET online scan: https://www.eset.com/uk/home/online-scanner/ There's a "scan now" button that will run a one-time scan and see if it can remove it. It could be worth...

There's a good article on it here: https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/best-egpus It doesn't look like the GPU in that laptop can be upgraded directly, sadly.

It's not very easy to upgrade an onboard laptop graphics card - it may even be impossible. Which model laptop do you have? There are external graphics cards, but they're very expensive for what they are.

I've re-coded the solved thread addon so that we've got the same functionality we had on the old forum. Please let me know if you spot any bugs with the new "solved" system as it's currently only in beta :). Thread creators should be able to mark their own threads as solved, plus...
