No problem, I have been told don't bother buying norton or mcafee as better free options around, a good web site to put in favourites is download.com all the free software you need ie firewall, spy ware trackers etc... Good Luck.

Lots of buys going through today so far, are we expecting news...

Always, but none that I know of immenent.

Small buyers out in force as this slides through resistence of 17.5p

May go another notch if the rate of buying is maintained.

All imo etc........

Not that I know much obviously!!!!!

Another tick up on the offer. SEY looking strong again.

Make sure that you need to do that first having cleaned and tuned your hard drive.

Need any more, I am here.

cheers sir

prop - hang on one moment. You're problem sounds like the same thing that I have been suffering from for ages - but fixed this weekend. I was finding that my CPU was running an excessive amount of time causing other applications to slow down. If you check with Task Manager (CTRL-ALT-DEL) then under the processes tab check out how much time is being occupied by System Idle Process. If all other applications are off, then System Idle should take up at least 91-93% of the time. If it is lower, then you have another background process running. Or apparently so. This was my problem, but under the tab 'applications' no other processes were reported as running. I was ready to reformat the hard drive and re-install windows again, when I was advised to check the BIOS.

I found the latest BIOS version for my laptop off the net and went to install it through windows. However, this reported back that my BIOS was the most recent version and therefore didn't need updating. But don't necessarily believe that. Yes, my BIOS was the latest version, but it was subtely damaged.

To force the BIOS upgrade requires installation at power up off of a floppy disk.
Did this, and lo and behold, PC running nicely and cooler. My CPU used to run at 85 degC, but is now back to 45 degC.

This may be your problem too. Then again, maybe not. Hope this helps. :>)

Proptrade, right click on the task bar at the bottom of the screen and go into task manager, in there click on processes, there click on CPU - this will tell you which application is hogging the CPU, also click on Mem usage to see which app is using all the memory, from ther you should be able to decide on what you need to close to free up both CPU and Memory

I think he's inside a dark cavern covered with green luminous slime............

A few posts since my last visit hows tricks all, still holding my sey almost at my buy price again!!!!!!!few never in doubt.

Is it still a quid by christmas!!!!!!

Certainly is.................

But which one?

Starfrong and hampi_man

thx for the recommendations. i had checked the task manager etc and the problem was that there was no program to close to free up the system. also it is far worse when online using either Firefox or IE but IE is far worse. I have just got to the point when i know there is something wrong and just want to clean it all up. maybe i will get an IT buddy to help just in case things aren't that easy. the only thing to save apart from word excel and photos is itunes so may buy an external drive (zip?) which is probably good practice anyway.
