    Most tech enthusiasts will not run the factory preinstall with all of the sponsored bloatware and duplicate OEM utilities which have much better versions built into Win7. Instead they Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7 to free up the OS to run in it's native feather-light, instantaneous state.

    Until then you can Clean Up Factory Bloatware to achieve close to the same thing. Just establishing a Clean Boot may solve much of it.

    If not work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.

I need some help. All of a sudden my Windows 7 machine has turned into a Commodore 64 in speed. Last night I attempted to back-up the machine to my WHS. The hard drive being backed up is a 120 GB system drive with 10 GB free. I started the back-up at 8 PM last night and this morning at 7 AM it...
