System Slow

Decided to skip Safe Mode , and went straight to your msconfig suggestion .
Did not help , unfortunately .
I'm starting to suspect , that a Win 7 rebuild may be the only solution . But am very reluctant to take this course .

As Megahertz07 has recommended, I too suggest that you boot into Safe Mode and see if the computer has a marked increase in performance!

An alternative to a Clean Install is a Repair Install . . .

Repair Install - Overview

A repair install differs from a clean install in the fact that it ONLY replaces the corrupted OS with a new fresh copy. This means that ALL your User Accounts, Folders, Files, Documents, Pictures, Music, Videos, Data Files, Icons, and any installed programs are left intact. It does however, DELETE ALL the WU's [Window updates] installed, and could possibly affect, sounds, services, visual effect settings and device drivers by re-setting them to default [unusual though]. You CANNOT do a repair install at boot, in Safe Mode, using a system repair disk, or using an integrated Windows update disk. Basically, this process can ONLY be performed from within the LIVE OS.

I hope this helps!

Any instructions anywhere on this ?

If you decide to perform a Rerpair install I can post the instructions for you.

Disk Management

Post a screenshot of the Disk Management => Disk Management - Post a Screen Capture Image.
Pay special attention to Step 5.

I hope this helps!

Well Megahertz07 and Paul Black , appears you guys were right about Safe Mode - it did help.
I see the graphics board not loaded - that may well be the problem.Any way I can test this board ?
Any way of using it in non-safe mode to bypass any problem?

This might help => Graphics Card Problems - Diagnose.
