    Even at the turning on of the computer everything goes slow.It needs so much time at the startup screen.It needs time to enter windows,it needs so much time to put all the programms that start with windows and goes really slow at everything that I do.
    I think that this is not normal and I am sure that this doesn't have to do with the case that it needs format because of the so many programms.I don't think that I have so many anyway.
    I have seen that in the device manager in the ide ata/atapi controllers on the primary ide channel,on device 0 although I have chosen transfer mode dma if available it has current transfer mode pio mode.
    Do you think that i have to change somehow this or have you got any other idea of what my problem is?

    click start > run and type "msconfig". click the startup tab. uncheck any boxes that you don't need. also uninstall all old programs that you dont use. then download cc cleaner

    http://www.ccleaner.com/

    run that. it will delete your cache and history and remove a bunch of junk. then open my computer and right click on your c drive. choose properties then the tools tab. click the defrag button. a program will open and click defrag now. Can you tell me how much ram is in your computer? if you have 256mb or 512mb you can upgrade to 1gb to help with speed.
