    gateway computer slow response time


    I have a question about my gateway-Acer computer it worked fine and now the response time is beyond slow it takes' forever to open a program I DEFRAG the system
    also checked disc everything
    checked for malware but when I click on something it sometimes takes
    up to a minute to respond any idea you have I would appreciate
    even typing this message there is a wait time for each letter it seems to be freezing up
    when running in safe mode runs like new
    Thank you

    What happens if you start Windows in Safe Mode? Is it still slow there?

    That probably suggests that you have some startup program slowing you down. Check those one by one.

    Hi and welcome to SevenForums,
    I would also starting in normal mode use resource monitor to see what is really going on
    There have been many reports of svchost using way too much cpu = processor resources continuously

    You can click Start and type in the search box
    resource monitor
    or open tack manager by right clicking your taskbar
    Then go to the performance section and on the bottom use resource monitor button.

    You look for processes that use unusual amounts of CPU time or RAM.
