    The problem is likely the inferior HP Factory Preinstalled Win7 with all of the bloatware and duplicate utiltiies which have better versions built into Win7. These throttle Win7 native performance and cause endless issues.

    It's the difference between the worst possible install you can have and the best one which is our specialty here.

    That's why most tech enthusiasts will not run such an install but instead Clean Reinstall - Factory OEM Windows 7. Everything is provided in the blue link tutorial.

    At the minimum I'd Clean Up Factory Bloatware.

    If this doesn't resolve performance problems, work through these Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7.

    There was a step I was unable to perform. After I clicked on "download now," I allowed the download, but there was no time that I could have done the drop-&-drag. So, now I have two reports which I cannot get posted onto the board. I copied & saved both and tried to save them into my documents, but was told I couldn't do that. Then I selected my pictures, but the reports aren't there, either.

    You should have two files attach.txt and DSS.txt on your desktop . Click on the Paperclip icon on the message box . It will allow you to upload the files . Choose browse locate the files and click on Open . You will have to locate the files one at a time . Once both of the files have been located click on the Upload button .

    The problem is that they are not on my desktop as I was unable to do the drop and drag. After the download, the scan began and there was not a chance for me to get it onto my desk top. Why do I have to drop & drag? Can't I just create a short-cut to the desktop?

    The two reports from the scan are in my tray at the bottom of my screen. I have no way to get them to you.

    Yes. They both open up. But I can't copy & save them.
