RE: slow PC
Might be a stupid question, but, do you have WindowBlinds5 installed on that computer?

It's a program that can be used to put new themes to your desktop ... for example, you download Windows Vista theme and with WindowsBlinds, you can apply that theme to your computer. If you don't have that program, you can't apply the theme..

WindowsBlinds eats ur memory too... that's probably why he asked if you had WIndows Blinds installed.

SOmeone can explain this better than me :$

It is a program that you can use to change the themes you have on your Windows Computer.

Such as this:

I'm sure he would of noticed if he started using WindowsBlinds5 and then suddenly went slow.

I think it's down to WLM.

RE: slow PC
Sounds like you have a virus/viruses.  You have tons of processes running.  You need to control+alt+delete off the wahzoo.  If the scans are taking forever boot into safemode and then run the virus software.  That is all I can really think of.

RE: slow PC
To find the culprint (instead of doing all sort of measerements without knowing what the real cause it), as soon as your PC starts to run slowly take note of all the programs which are currently visible on your taskbar....

Second, press CTRL-ALT-DEL to go to the task manager and open the processes tab (this might take a while, but wait for it!).

Then look at what process is taking all the CPU time (it would be the one with the highest number in that CPU column, appart from "System Idle processes"). You can sort the column by clicking on the header instead of scrolling thru the list. If possible, also take a screenshot...

After that, close the process in question by right clicking on it and choosing "Kill process tree".

And tell us what process it was and post the screenshot you've saved.

PS1: when saving the screenshot, save it as a GIF? JPG or PNG, not as a BMP!

PS2: But indeed, you have a hell of a lot processes, which, I bet, you don't need half of them...

PS3: I see you're running Windows Media Player all the time? If it got corrupted it sometimes freezes up your whole computer, just like you described.
