Programs crash & internet connection's slow & hangs after reinsalling
I did the "right" thing, and started the year with a new reformatting and a fresh re-installation of my Windows 7 OS, however, I am now paying for it with a lot of problems with my internet connection and other things. I have tried my connection using 3 browsers, with add-ons disabled, and the problem persists. Browsing is incredibly slow and it freezes whenever I try to get to another page.
On the computer itself, a lot of my programs crash when I try to use them. Mostly audio programs like Audacity or Power Sound Editor.
Before I go and do a new reformatting and go through the hell of reloading everything, I thought I'd ask if there's a setting that I'm overlooking or what.
Please help!
