NOTE: I placed this in hardware, but I have a feeling this is a software issue... And yes, updated drivers WERE used. Alrighty, I guess I'll get this started off with what my issue is in it's most basic form. I have a dual monitor set-up on my system, a 24 inch widescreen dell LCD monitor...

Installing programs IS THE ISSUE that I am having. The only way to test it is to "install a program". Like I said before, aside from installing programs, the pc runs FLAWLESSLY. UPDATE though: I grabbed an 80gig Sata 3.0 from work, popped it in the drive, reinstalled the os, everything...

Sorry, I meant to post this last night, but the forums were acting up on me. Anyhow, I tested by disconnecting my secondary drives, and even my bluray dvd drive (which was a new addition to the system) and there was still no change in the issue. I tested by trying to install Office 2007 ultimate...

yes, no dings in device manager and nothing in the event logs. as far as windows is concerned the system is perfectly fine.

but what piece of hardware is what is causing me grief. the parts i ordered were all compatible with each other and windows 7, and i cant place where the issue is coming. the only equipment not new, were the harddrives from my old system, a 160, a 250, and a 500, my dvd burner\blueray drive, and...

I think everyone is still missing the point of the issue i'm having.. the system runs fine. perfectly.. unless i'm installing something. ONLY do installations cause issues. Also, it's not DUE to bloatware, as the installs took a long time BEFORE any sort of bloatware, like itunes, was placed on...

Currently I'm using Avast! and malwarebytes, but that's irrelevant to to the fact that the installs were taking exceptionally long before my antivirus and spyware was installed on my system. When I first installed windows 7, the first thing I did was install any updated drivers and utilities...

im still having the install issue going on. I just installed itunes\quicktime and it took almost 20 minutes... any ideas?

Thanks! Me too! I just hope office doesn't take 3 hours to install...

Ok update: It seems as though things have sped up. Opening programs, navigating through windows, all of that works as it should now except for one thing: installations. ANYTHING I try to install takes an ungodly amount of time to complete. The installers open quickly as they should, but the...

Hey all, thanks in advance for any advice you guys have. Ok, so I had an old system with a 2.6 pentium D processor, 4 gigs of memory, running windows 7 pro 64 bit, and it was running fantastic. Well I decided to build a new system anyway and push the performance of windows 7 and the games I'd...
