Programs take a while to open?

Question

My programs take a while to open lately, and I want to know why and how to fix it. After I double click, the program stays highlighted for a while, and then opens right after the highlight goes away.

I only use 40GB out of 160GB space, and have 1GB RAM with an AMD Sempron 3300 2GHz processor.

It wasn't like this before, so is there a way to fix this?

Answer 3

My advice is to first Download Avast and Spy bot, odds are you have a trojan horse or spyware. These are vicious things that slow down the system...Avast and Spybot are both free and have very high ratings

Answer 4

Many issues could be the reason, but start with what's running in the background & turn off any unnecessary applications for starters.

If you've got Norton or Mcaffee suites, these are bloatware and use up gobs of resources and that can be a source of the slowdown.

Try a system cleaning & defrag, too: a good system cleaner is 'CCleaner' but be careful with this as it really does a lot of file & system cleanup.

Make sure the 'c' drive is compressed & index service enabled (look in 'c' drive > properties for these).

Adopt better system maintenance habits (do on a weekly basis) to avoid these protracted 'fix up' sessions.
