PC running terribly...please help!!
If anyone could help me I would be very grateful! I am using a Dell laptop with Vista home Premium and have a very annoying problem. When i'm surfing the net and opening new websites I often get one of these two images below.
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...ledjpg2323.jpg http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e3...n/Untitled.jpg Its driving me crazy. My laptop has really slowed up but i dont know why!! a lot of the time if I refresh the page it will find the website! I am sure I have no virus's as I have ran a full scan with Malware bytes and also with Windows Security essentials. I have also ran the disk defragmenter. No joy I'm still struggling to open a lot of sites. Can anyone please help? |
Did you get this sorted yet?

kind of, I resert my router but still get it occassionally

Pretty much what I suspected then - either your internet connection, or the wireless between your laptop and the router. If it keeps happening again a lot, try connecting your laptop to the router with a network cable, and check all the lights on the router.

As far a you laptop slowing have you done a "disk cleanup" and a "defragmentation". Both can be found by opening "My computer" and right clicking on the HDD and clicking properties.
The Defrag program that comes with windows is a basic version of the diskeeper range. I run the latest diskeeper and it sorts things out in the background so keeps your computer as quick as possible. The other thing that will affect speed is the amount of RAM you have, Goi onto the 'Corsair' website and run their memory scan to see if you can increase the RAM in your computer. Oops. Missed the defrag comment, but running diskclean will help a lot. |
Also, download and try RegSeeker - just google it. For optimising ther registry and seeing what gets started when you boot. That and Ccleaner.

since theyve changed google this week mine is going slow. when i click on a link from a google search it either first directs to some other search engine or has one of those fake windows explorer pages that does a virus scan. Have done a trojan scan but nothing.

nathen go into whichever network interface u use an enter properties and go to IPv4, under preferred DNS enter 4.4.4.4 in alternative use 8.8.8.8
and leep me posted Private msg ok DNS is what causes that or a shafted browser, Download safari or firefox also and try use them for a week, IE is prone sometimes to going nuts The IPs i gave you are Googles DNS servers, your router may be **** also. But add what i gave u and tell me if it works then its one of 2 things Your oppsys needs a good rebuild rather than messing about with it or your router is bab buy a new un. Cheers Ted |
