Almost no response from windows 7..angry wife
Hi
I "upgraded" my wife's pc from vista to Windows 7 64 bit with 4 GB RAM as she was always complaining of her pc hanging etc. At the same time I bought myself a new build windows 7 64 bit. Bad news is mine works like a dream and her's is now even worse than before and I think divorce is on the cards !!!
Essentailly whenever she clicks on anything it may not respond for up to 30 seconds. I tried to shut it down, clicked on start, waited 15 seconds and then the start button just reappeared without ever producing a menu. In task manger she has nothing significant running, CPU usage 0% memory usage 25%. Sometime she is getting warnings she has run out of memory and needs to close things and yet may only have open firefox and Outlook. The only application she ever uses are Firefox, office 2003 apps, itunes, Kapersky internet security, Blackberry desktop and a photobook editing package. She is a very light user so this has me completely baffled. I run all the same except office 2007 and more.
On reboot CPU usage is near 0% and memory 30%. Everything works absolutely fine for a few hours then grinds to a half. The only other odd thing is I noticed her overnight backup was creating a full version every day. I beleive in other threads this has been related to indexing of some kind. Could there be some indexing process running that is slowing everything down?
So far I have defragmented drives including boot with perfectdisc. Please can someone help me as it's all getting a bit heated (my pc working perfectly isn't helping!!!!).
Thanks
Mike
