Why is my computer so SLOW now?!?!?
Okay, so within the last week my computer has started running really slow. I had it re-formatted and wiped clean around the first of the year and everything has been fine until lately. And NO, I do NOT download porn, illegal music or movies, or anything else from the internet. This is a work-only computer that I’m basically running only Microsoft Office 2007 for small business on. I already went through and deleted any RSS feeds, podcasts, music I uploaded, etc., that I thought might be slowing it down, but it hasn’t had any appreciable effect. The only other things I really use it for is to occasionally stream tv shows, Netflix movies or sports broadcasts from legit websites (CBS, MLB, etc.). I’ve deleted ancillary programs I seldom use, de-fragged the hard drive, and run the hard drive analysis and done everything it suggests. But still no success. It’s only a 20GB hard drive with about 14GB used (although I have no idea what’s taking up all that space). Any ideas??
