Windows 7 starter running slow all the time
Hi,
I owned an acer netbook (can't remember the model number) for 2 years and it ran brilliantly. Very fast and responsive with windows 7 starter. I had to replace it this year due to a hardware fault and so I decided to go again with an Acer netbook. This time the slightly newer Aspire- D270. I uninstalled all the Acer bloatware and I installed basic programs (firefox, skype, Avg free, Oceanis, Microsoft Office 2010 suite and Realplayer). It is running frustratingly slow. The internet takes about 40-50 seconds to open after clicking.
I have done a system restore 3 times now but the problem is never fixed. I tried to install linux mint in it's place but that ran slow also so reverted to windows 7 starter. Does anyone know what could be causing this and can you provide any assistance or advice.
Thanks!
