Hi everyone...I am new to Afterdawn so Im not sure where to post this forum, but I hope im in the right place. I have a Acer laptop 1.5GH with 512 Ram. Recently I have noticed that my right click on icons, folders are very slow. It can take up to 40 seconds to open at times and sometimes longer. I have do everything to try and fix this but nothing works. I don't know what else to try. Can someone please help me.. I appreciate any suggestions you have. Thank you
Chrissy

Welcome to AD, and yes your thread is in the right place.
Assuming that your laptop is virus free, have you recently defragged your hard drive?Quote:
It can take up to 40 seconds to open at times and sometimes longer.
Are there any other processes running at those times?
Is your laptop overheating? this can cause the cpu to slow down.
Cheers.

Hi..I ran a virus scan and all good..It dont seem like the laptop is over heating..I use a laptop desk which prevents the laptop from getting too hot..any more suggestions on what I can try?

So if you have defragged your hdd and the cpu isn't busy at those times, then I'm stumped......sorry.
Cheers.

in task manager, see what your performance is & what is running in the background.

maybe something was communicating to the outside causing mouse to be slow but once disconnected to outside, mouse sped up. check for spyware. what av are you using?

I ran the ccleaner and it deleted files from my system. Then I done the cdshredder and that came back clean. Ad-Aware found 3 critical objects and Spybot said congratulations no immediate threats were found.
