Solved Terrible Lag at Startup

My script seems to be missing some installed programs.

I would like for you to use CCleaner to get a list of installed programs:

List of INSTALLED PROGRAMS
CCleaner | Tools icon | Uninstall button |
click on Save to text file button (bottom right side)

Attach the install.txt file generated by CCleaner.

Done

Don't worry, I understand

InJust,

After taking a quick glance at your install list, then:
1. uninstall any programs that you are not using.
2. download, install and run the Secunia Personal Security Inspector:
http://secunia.com/vulnerability_scanning/personal/download_psi/

the reason for #2 is that you have some out-of-date software on your system, especially, you need to get rid of all of those old Java versions. For that one, you can simply: Control Panel | Programs and Features | rt-click on anything Jave and choose uninstall. Don't worry. The first time you really need Java, then you will be prompted to download and install the latest and greatest.

3. Uninstall Soluto. That program continues to "monitor" and report back to soluto what is found, besides slowing down your computer, especially at startup time.

 

[Injust]

Oh, I'm still in the process of completing your suggestions.
However, the Secunia Personal Security Inspector link has gone bad

KK
I've uninstalled a couple programs (I had 3 Cyberlink programs that I never used, but they gave me an uninstall error. So I manually deleted the files and messed with the Cyberlink entries in Regedit.)
Now, the Secunia PSI gives me a 100% rating after updating 3 other programs.
I've uninstalled Soluto, too.
HOWEVER, when I try to uninstall the Java, it gives me an error message...

 

[Injust]

Never mind about that.
I forcefully removed Java from the registry by using Revo Uninstaller.

 

[gregrocker]

Now run SFC -SCANNOW Command

 

[Injust]

I ran it right before I posted this topic today, so there shouldn't be a problem.
But I'm running it again.

While karl is taking a well deserved rest I noticed you have Iobit defrager. I would recommend removing it and using Windows built in defrager. Take a close look through all your Apple programs I think you got them all. You also have a Bitcoin Project. How are you trying to remove Java? Sorry I'm late I was Google all those things running on your system.

 

[Injust]

Well, I need to keep Bitcoin and I use all my Apple programs. Also, I use Iobit Defragger because I don't like the Windows defragger
I have removed Java by using Revo Uninstaller because I cannot uninstall it regularly (look at my previous posts plz). Revo Uninstaller removes the registry entries.

 

[Injust]

The SFC has come back with no integrity violations.
I'm still attaching the log file.

 

[gregrocker]

It's not normal behavior for uninstalls to fail like that. They are very good in Win7 so that we've gradually stopped recommended Revo since it is hardly needed with this OS.

This is why I suggested checking your System File integrity.

I'd also work through the other Troubleshooting Steps for Windows 7 to see if anything else becomes apparent.

 

[Layback Bear]

I went through them 2 time what did I miss? Revo is a great program. I didn't say remove all Apple programs or Bitcoin, just take a look to be sure you want them.
Have a nice day.

 

[Injust]

I've already done all the troubleshooting steps

 

[Injust]

And also, I prefer to keep Revo Uninstaller because I've caught LOTS of junk registry entries.

 

[gregrocker]

Revo is fine and I still use it myself in some cases like the one you faced. But it isn't required as a Best Practice for Win7 program uninstalls, that's all.

Same with driver sweepers. New OS, new practices.

 

[Injust]

I know. Anything else I can do to reduce the lag?
