Hi Paul
My pc is about 4 to 5 years old
How much memory is installed in it?
1GB
What anti virus?
Had avast but shop changed it to Microsoft security essentials
Have you checked on Windows update lately for any new updates which should
be downloaded, this includes optional updates.
Yes and done that
Have you downloaded latest run-time components?
Here is a download link for the necessary runtimes;
http://ninite.com/.net-air-flash-flashie-java-silverlight/ninite.exe
Yes done that.
I thought there was a slight improvement after updating but when I tried to
scroll through stuff quickly it started whizzing again but not as quickly as
usual.
Can this information help in diagnosing my problem Paul.
Regards,
Edel

Subject: [vip_students] whizzing pc
Hi all
I have a strange one not really a vip issue but a few months ago my computer
started whizzing and freezing especially if I asked it to do anything like
for example go into videos on face book.
I brought it to the shop and had it serviced and a virus was removed.
The problem while not completely cured was better but now its got to the
stage that everything is so slow again I just get frustrated and turn it
off.
Other programmes and internet pages seem to run ok. Could it be a facebook
thing
I have done virus checks, defragmentation and disc clean ups.
Can anyone suggest any further checks I can do before paying another €90.
The shop told me it could be a memory issue, how can I check if this is the
case and if so why are other WebPages and programmes running ok.
Any help appreciated
Regards
Edel..
