brsteinbach Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 I have had my laptop for about a year now and it's treated me great and I haven't had any problems with it. But recently I have noticed it's starting to really lag on start ups ( like after I log into my account and everything's loading ). I'm very good with computer's, Build em', Know a lot about them ect. Ive Defraged it, cleaned and defrged the registry, freed up disk space and so on. It hasn't helped. Do you guy's have anymore suggestions? My comp. is a Acer Aspire 5735-4774, It has 2 gigs of ram, Intel Pentium dual-core 2.0GHz 667Mhz FSB and a 1MB l2 Cache processor. I'm running Vista 32 bit. But like I said when I first got it the MoFo flied and now it's starting to slow down. Great little LT for about 400 bucks. Thanks guy's.

Kranny Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 if its lagging on startup, i guarantee that you have alot of programs trying to start up. go to Start then Run, type in "msconfig" without quotes in the General tab select "Selective Startup" and leave everything under that the way it is. go to the Startup tab and deselect everything you dont want running on startup. things like AIM, Quicktime, Java updater, Adobe Reader updater, a few more that i cant think of for examples. after that click OK and select whichever option you want, whether to restart or to not restart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) I would first make sure I have very minimal startup objects enabled. >>Hit windows button + R >>Type in "msconfig" without quotes >>In the Utility, go to startup tab. >>Uncheck anything you don't need....namely things like ituneshelper, adobe reader and so on Edit...Kranny beat me to it lol Edited October 16, 2009 by Dale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brsteinbach Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 K guy's did that really quick and the only thing in there that I could deselect is Quick time. Anything else you could recommend?

I was really thinking about doing that but Ive never worked with laptops before. Is it pretty much the same process as a desktop?

Skullz Posted October 16, 2009 Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 (edited) Reformatting is the same as a desktop, just backup what you want on another drive and you'll be fine. Just make sure you have all the disks to reinstall all the drivers.

S15_Silvia Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Go to Start-->Run, and type "%temp%" without the quotes and hit enter. This opens up the Temporary Files folder, which should be emptied from time to time. Do a quick Ctrl+A to select everything, and hit the delete (not backspace) key to get rid of it all. I've noticed speed gains on some machines with this. Quote 2016 Subaru BRZ | Sony XAV-AX100 | Rockford Fosgate DSM 4080 & DSM 40ix | On 6/6/2012 at 6:32 PM, 'LZTYBRN' said: 3.
