    Its a possibility but OP would prob have mentioned the Fans going mad



    @OP did you also run the Reg cleaner ?
    It will also warn you about deleting files and ask you to back up registry I would usually not do this but in this case i would suggest that you do back it up - just save it to a location you will remember E.g you documents folder and write that down !!!


    ok Next step

    open msconfig - type msconfig into start menu and then click icon

    You will see this pop up

    Click the startup tab

    This controls which programs turn on when you boot up windows, but you dont need them on they will start when you click on the icons, nothing on the list is really vital but you will want to leave on things like anti-virus

    This is mine note: i have left a good few on


    Take some pics of that then upload them

    Also follow this process for "task manager" and up load a image of your processes and applications

    heres Mine

    How do you define that it's slow? It is slow upon start up? Slow when opening a program? Or slow when browsing? Let me know maybe I can help.
