Hey all!!
New to the forum here. Had a problem with the computer starting really slow, it basically was taking an hour to startup! When I would finally get logged in programs would take a long time to open also. From reading a few forums I saw someone else had a similar problem and they found it to be an Extentions Conflict. I went to the extentions folder and set them back to base extentions and restarted. It started very quickly although my printer was Xed out. Went back to extentions turned it back on and also turned on Stickies and Norton Anti Virus. When restarting again it was back to the slow startup, not an hour but very slow and opening programs was back to being slow also. Turned off Stickies and Anti Virus in the extentions restarted and all seems to be normal. Is there anything else I need to do or look for? how does something like this happen? The computer was running normally before this and halfway through the day I noticed it was running slow, was basically frozen and when restarting with the reset button this problem began. any advice or suggestions would be welcome!
Thanks!! James
