My applications when starting is very slow and switching between programs is also very slow.. (alt+tabbing).

Does this thread jog your memory? LOL

http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/611127

I explained what ctfmon.exe was before.

Here's want I said last time:

"Ctfmon.exe monitors the active windows and provides text input service support for speech recognition, handwriting recognition, keyboard, translation, and other alternative user input technologies."

Note: The ctfmon.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32
In other cases, ctfmon.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!"

And here was your response:

"Thanks for the information about ctfmon.exe"

Then you disappeared, after 9 Jan 2008.

Now your back posting a new thread with the same question.

OK, here's a link that may help:
