    the computer is really slow
    « on: December 08, 2007, 06:35:38 AM »
    this is the problem
    my computer is very slow and most of the games give a message that my videocard is very old
    but when my dad bought this PC it was the newest(3years ago) and the games that i play where like from the same year

    my computer is really acting slow and stuff and i even raised the memory use very much it doesn't work

    I deleted all programs that could make my PC slow I  defrag 10times but nothing seems to work..

    my C: is not full, i only use 1/4 of it, so that can't be it either

    someone please gimme something to make that thing faster

    BTW, suddenly out of nowhere something came into my processlist
    process name| user name|  session ID| CPU| memory use

    session ID suddenly came into it... dunno what it does
    all my session ID's are 0

    BTW2, I got many processes that i don't use, they don't take much memory or CPU
    can this do any harm?

    How many processes does Task Manager show after a fresh start of your computer?  What's the CPU Usage shown at the bottom of the Processes view of Task Manager? 

    What protections against viruses and spyware do you have installed?  Your firewall?  Any disk cleanup utilities or registry cleaners installed, and used?

    You "raised the memory".  How much does it have?

      32 processes, I got windows defender and AVG, firewall on, dont know that you mean with disk cleanups but my pc is like 3months ago cleaned by a professional group of peaple but thats not it

      the max memory i have now is 1032 MB and he never uses it all, not even close

        Not much here, except for couple of things:
        - you have very old Java version, you need to update it: http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp
        - I don't see any firewall running; is your Windows firewall on?
        - O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctfmon.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe......do you have Office XP on your computer, and do you use any other language there, beside English?

        We also need your video card info, requested by patio.

            Don't worry. Nobody is gonna mistake Dutch for German ;)

            Running old Java exposes your computer to unnecessary danger, so I strongly recommend to update it.

            As for Office issue....
            Since you don't have Office XP anymore, you can remove ctfmon.exe from your system: http://www.gerhard-schlager.at/en/projects/ctfmonremover/
            Restart.

            Then...
            Run your HJT again, put checkmarks next to following entries:
            - O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)
            if still exist:
            - O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctfmon.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe
            - O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-19\..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTFMON.EXE (User 'Lokale service')
            - O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-20\..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTFMON.EXE (User 'Netwerkservice')
            - O4 - HKUS\S-1-5-18\..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTFMON.EXE (User 'SYSTEM')
            - O4 - HKUS\.DEFAULT\..\Run: [CTFMON.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\system32\CTFMON.EXE (User 'Default user')
            Click on "Fix it" button.
            Restart.

            Now...
            Instead of getting any Office trial, or old Office 97, try free Open Office: www.openoffice.org
