windows 7 very slow and a lot of "not respoding ", please read !

Hello and welcome midoman can you please let us know some system specs and I would like to know the Toshiba model too. Now on the back of the machine you will find a label and it will have on it PART No: can you please let me know what that is too.

Now I like a lot of the others am not overly keen on any programs that claim to increase the performance of your machine and that one you have is or looks like one of those. The only program most of us use is CCleaner for clearing out the temp files etc but it is your choice of course.

In the meantime you can run these in safe mode for starters

Let us know this stuff before we go on.

PS I meant to add the Onedrive pics are very hard to see so can you use this for pics please

Now are you running that chkdsk in safe mode? (power on and tap F8 as you do so) if not then do so because it will only use the Windows filing system and not any other non (OS) essential software you have on the computer.

Now just have a think back to what you have installed recently too because of that message - it may need uninstalling.

Ok hopefully you have all the data you need backed up because it looks like you may have to reinstall using the factory reset by Toshiba. This is because if safe mode will not run properly then there is something quite wrong with that machine.

To be perfectly honest with you I have had three Toshibas now and for each one I have bought an OEM version of Windows (Home Premium) and installed it onto either a cleaned drive or a new one usually the latter and also an SSD. I did this because I was sick of the Toshiba bloatware and constant problems with those machines.
