Default Upgrading my desktop
Hi,

I'm getting increasingly frustrated by the speed of my comp. The main problem comes from switching between open applications, this can cause things to freeze for a moment and the screen will change to the new application in a slow "vertical-wipe".

To me the first thing that this says is I should get more RAM, is this a reasonable assumption?

Currently running a 9 month old Dell 2.79GHz, 1GB RAM, 107gb HDD (only 3gb free at the moment, although this figure goes up and down and doesn't seem to help), with two 1600x1200 monitors on a Radion X1300 gfx card. Running XP .

I usually have a poker app, firefox, winamp/media player running. (no poker tracker at the moment).

I'm sure I've left out some information. :-/ any tips?

Does your hard disk start clattering when you do this?

No, well at least i don't think so, it's quite a quiet HDD and a noisy house.

If there's an activity light have a look at it when you switch apps. Also, have a look in Task Manager under performance and see how much Physical Memory you have free when you have your apps loaded. What I'm getting at is that it sounds like you're running out of RAM and your computer is caching things that it shouldn't have to.

You need more free space on your hard drive. You should always keep at least 15% free space on your drive. You probably also have a lot of unnecessary applications running.

1) Download HijackThis, run it, and post a log here.

2) Achieve at least 15% free space by uninstalling programs or deleting media files.

Ok, I've deleted a lot of space but I'm sure I've got lots of unnecessary programs running in the background because 1. It's a dell and 2. I've never really bothered removing stuff.

Hopefully you guys can help me get rid of some of the crap.

I'm not even too sure how to go about removing these things that load at startup.

The thing that pushed me into doing this is command and conquer 3 won't work online anymore, I get a "direct3d out of memory error" I researched this online and increased the amount of virtual memory as a result but it didn't help so I'm hoping getting rid of some background programs might do the trick.

Oh and my processor is an Intel Pentium D 2.8GHz 2.79GHz. (from the system properties screen)

Default Re: Upgrading my desktop
I have a similar system and home and it should not be slow for you.

I did recently put in a new HDD and reload Windows, but the thing is great for everything but gaming. I only run AVG and ZoneAlarm for proction and I turn the resident shield off on AVG.

Default Re: Upgrading my desktop
I'll help you prune your startup items.

To do this you need to go to Start > Run > type "msconfig" > startup tab. You will see a list with checkboxes. Uncheck the following items: sunjavaupdatesched, dmxlauncher, motivesb, quicktime task, winampagent, tkbellexe, cleanup, skype, msnmsgr, ldm.

Then you'll need to go to your global startup folder. You reach this by going to Start > programs > startup. Delete the following: Adobe Reader speed launcher, broadband medic, last.fm helper, logitech desktop manager, microsoft office.

I'm kind of perplexed by the number of O18 objects from logitech desktop manager. You can probably uninstall that program altogether. If I recall correctly, it is a useless program.

Reboot your computer.
