Hi legiN, nothing slow about your hardware so I'm wondering how many apps you have running ? do you see any question marks in device manager ? and have you run a systems check ?

 

[legiN]

Hi - A run down on what should be running would be helpful. Device Manager shows no problems. How do I run a systems check ? Thanks.

Sorry i meant how many apps that you have installed, and if you Click Start, type RESMON and press [Enter] to launch the Resource Monitor, then click the CPU, Memory, Disk or Network tabs. Windows 7 will immediately show which processes are hogging the most system resources, this may give some indication as to why your system is slow.

You may need to type "Resmon" in the run box not the search box

 

[Veedaz]

Good point clifford, it does work in both.

 

[clifford_cooley]

It didn't on mine or I wouldn't have said anything

 

[legiN]

Thanks but it did not throw up anything strange.

 

[Ian]

Is this on a clean install? If not, did it happen from the start or was it all of a sudden?

 

[legiN]

Clean install - from the start/always done this. I have 10 apps in the Quick Launch bar by the way.

 

[Veedaz]

Thats odd i put RESMON in search or run i get ->

I'm on RC1 build 7100

 

[clifford_cooley]

It maybe one of the services I have disabled - My search still works though

The only thing I can think of is maybe Windows is looking for something it is not finding. Or maybe some hardware item is not configured correctly for Windows 7.

It might be worth looking for outdated drivers in the system.
