ok basicly....
my computer can sometimes go REALY slow....
its constantly using around 70% of physical memory... and has been known on many occasions to jump up to 100% CPU useage for no apparent reason and on average is running around 55-60 thigns at one time (in task manager on bottom left were it has how many thigns are running, cpu useage + physical memory useage) ...
i downloaded an anti-spyware programe because i believed my computer had a load of spyware on it, i didnt believe it cud b virus's because i use AVG anti virus software...
anyways my computer messed up the following day, it wouldent load up and i had to do a system restore, this worked great at first, my computer was running smoother than it has done in months, but then it got a lot worse and started being dreadfully slow and laggy for no apparent reason (in the system restore the anti-spyware programe was removed)
now i looked in something called "services" and "proceses" and there were many strangely named items in oth, i didnt know what to do with them because i dont know whats microsoft and whats not, i basicly dont know enough about them to know what i need and what i can scrap to reduce physical memory, and CPU useage...
im curently using a E-System computer with 4gb (i think or is it ghz?) processor, i dont know the graphic card quality but i know my current physical memory is around 500 mhz/mb (??) (plan on upgrading and buying an extra 1Gb physical memory when i get payed
im running windows vista home basic, and i have all the special visual themes and other stuff turned off/down to minimum
does anyone know what i could do to improve my computers general speed? a programe that can help? anythign you think that might help i would appreciate
one mroe thing....
i believe it is possable to delete old restore points.... if so can anyone tell me how to do it on windows vista home basic because i beleive there using up a tonn of my harddrive space (60gb, when bought it for some reason 20gb was already taken, according to my father (systems admin for a silicon chip design/manufacturing copany) says thats too much for jsut the basic programe and basic files)
anyways if anyone would like to comtact me you can reach me on my e-mail Edited to remove e-mail address. (bad spelling yes but thats how i spelt it)
