video card

[jnmartin]

My pc keeps hesitating (hanging up) -- I've cleaned all temps - cookies - added spybot -- checked for driver upgrades -- I've also chec ked my incoming and outgoing speeds - both are excellant -- so that's why I have ended up @ video card

Well that would be waaaay down the list on things to improve this. Have a look here:

Let's make sure that machine is squeaky clean.

Also check for running processes in Task Manager (Ctl+Alt+Del) and see what is going on there. How much total RAM in the machine?

How much free hard drive space out of how much total? It should be 15% for Windows to work corerectly.

Try CCleaner (www.ccleaner.com) and then defrag the drive. What happens now?

  you r wonderful ----  ty ty -- I think ccleaner.com did it -- i also scan disked and defraged -- I have 70% free on my hard drive and no extras running when I do cntr-alt-del -- I don't know if I should go to any of the other free downloads - I'll wait and see if this is really the fix. ty for not dismissing me cause I'm not a PC wiz --

If you come up clean in both of the following online scans you can be fairly confident your computer is clean.

Online Virus Scan and Spyware Scan

Highly recommended second Online Malware Scan

First it is considered rude to hiojack someone else's thread. In the future, please start a new topic and post all the information possible about the machine and problem. Thanks.  

Download and run Everest to identify the actual video card in your machine and provide computer or motherboard make/model.

   Hi this is me - video card person from yesterday -- I have done all the many clean up things and I am very sorry to report that the system is still acting with the hesitation -- maybe it needs a video card ??    Just something else to add to this issue ----- I opened task manager and when the hourglasss comes up -- wscript.exe is coming up also --

[GX1_Man]

Are you SURE that system is clean?

Did you use ewido? What virus scanner are you using? It may be time to run Hijack This and post your log file here. It will take several posts to get it all.\

I have run - ccleaner - spybot - 3 virus scans - registry mechnaic - I have done scan disc and defrag - I have done temp file cleans of Internet and Java -- and probably a couple others that I can't remember the names of --  what is wscript.exe ??

[GX1_Man]
