I have sort of a weird problem. I was clearing out my Temp folder in my AppData folder and I kind of got carried away. Before I knew it, I had over 60,000 objects in my recycle bin. I have a decent computer with 4 GB of RAM, but every time I try to recycle, windows explorer freezes. Ive tried...

Well folks, it's not often you see me start a thread in the support forum. But in my lazy days, I just don't feel like looking around for a solution myself.
The problem is a long delay after login. I login, and then it takes 30+ seconds for my PC to be ready to use. The only start-up programs...

I am using W7 media centre and it seems a bit unresponsive!
As I'm only using this computer for TV/media I only need networking and obviously media centre to be running.
Is there any guide to say what processes etc can be shut down?
thanks

Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to permanently disable the "ReadyBoot" feature in Windows 7 x64 (note: I am not talking about ReadyBoost, that's something else!)
I've checked out some guides that I found online, such as Link Removed or Link Removed - Invalid URL. But even though they...
I upgraded to Windows 7 from Vista and I have noticed the boot time is slower than it was with Vista. I tested my bootup time through a program and it took 194 seconds for my comp to boot up.
My question is would making a clean install of Windows 7 solve this problem and make boot up times much...
~ I've read a few tutorials in preparation for the upgrade to Windows 7 and it was recommended that I uninstall all unnecessary software from my computer.
I've done that, as well as doing a disk-cleanup and defragging.
But I was wondering if it would be advisable to also uninstall my...

Im getting 100% CPU usage even when my comp's idling.
Anyone know what the problem might be,or how i can rectify it?
It's not happening all the time,but very frequently.
Im using a Pentium D Dual core 2 x 2.8GHz on an x64 Windows 7 Ultimate.
With regard to Win7 setup for an SSD.
How to check the status of Superfetch/ReadyBoost/ Prefetch? I see in properties of my 2 SSDs under "policies" tab a setup for "Write -caching policy". Is this relevant?
I was wondering what others have experinced with this. The first time I ran it under Win 7 7127, it found 78 System Optimisations, and 6350 Security Defense isuses;!! Even if half of them are false positievs, that is unbeleiveable! :eek:
I just got Windows 7 today, and I really like it. One thing I noticed though is that it doesn't seem to boot faster than Vista, although many reviews said that it did. I did an upgrade from vista to windows 7, so my hard drive was not wiped. Everything loads pretty quickly except for when the PC...

I see some older threads regarding utilities and just wondered if there is a new consensus on what works and what doesn't for 7. I've been using the Advanced System Care 3 free edition, and sometimes Glary Uitilities. Main concern is the registry cleaner of course. Glary and ASC seem to have...

I want to get the best registry cleaner I can find for Vista. There are so many available and you don't know whose reviews to trust. I just logged on to Cnet and they give Ace Utilities 4.2 a 5 star review. It's 30 bucks. I know there are some free ones out there. In fact, I just noticed...
These apps will help you keep vista running smooth and are absolutely free. You may find that you already use one or two (as I did) but it's worth checking over the others. I can particularly recommend the defrag utility which works a treat...
