My Computer Is Running Ver Slowly - Is There Anything I Can Do To Speed It Up?  |
|
 I have done disk clean up and that hasn't helped, shut down and restarted but it is still very slow. I am trying to respond to discussions but have only managed two in about half an hour. I have been to other sites they are slow but not as slow as myLot so could this be a myLot problem? I am a computer novice so don't really know what to do so any advice would be appreciated. Thanking you in advance, will get back to you but obvioously as slow may be some delay. Ellie:D

| 1. dabest451 (70) | 6 months ago |  No try clearing up any non nessacary programs and defragment your computer it is an option were it puts all your program together not spread out also put all unused short cuts in your trash and if you have alot of start up programs make them non start up so that when your computer turns on all these programs arent starting.

 TheNightFox (109) | 6 months ago | Start - Run - msconfig - startup tab. Also, go into the task manager and see how many processes there are running. There shouldn't be more than about 30. I try to keep my computer running a max of 21 (With Task manager open), but it does run about 25. Don't end processes title "svchost" | |

| 2. dogsnme (343) | 6 months ago |  Do you have anti-spyware and anti-virus software that can check for and remove spyware and viruses from your computer. There could be any number of reasons your computer has slowed, but spyware and other malicious software that you pick up from the internet can slow it down and you usually never know it's there until you check for it.

|
| ellie333 (6024) | 6 months ago | Hi yes I have but it automatically checks all this for me. I have just recently installed some updates and have now shut down again and it does seem to have sped up again not top speed as normal but it took me to this fairly quickly whereas earlier it was taking forever to even respond to a post. Thank you for your help, it is appreciated. Ellie:D | |

| 3. gemini_rose (9320) | 6 months ago |  It could be the actual site rather than the computer that is running slow or it could be down to any installs that you have. Sometimes if you install a lot of programmes that can slow it down.
It could also be down to your internet supplier, we are with tiscali and sometimes they are hell and everything runs so slow and I think that it is the computer but it always turns out to be them.

|
| ellie333 (6024) | 6 months ago | Hi Gemini_rose, It does seem to have sorted itself out now as I just installed some updates and then turned off and on again so I will try to play catch up now. Ellie:D | |

5.  gitfiddleplayer (2920) | 6 months ago |  Sometimes your processor can be running slow, it may be trying to update some software. Control + Alt + Delete will show you what processes are running. If you're not using a process go ahead and close it out, the less memory that you're using the better. I've been there before, computers do their own thing sometimes. If you see NETWORK SERVICE a lot just know your ISP is taking a few memory chips from you.

|
| ellie333 (6024) | 6 months ago | Hi Gitfiddleplayer, It was in fact updating and have also shut down and restarted and it does seem to have resolved the issue, thank you so much for advice, appreciated. Ellie:D | |

| fwangaa (847) | 6 months ago | i often do that when i worked in my friend's computer. | |

| 8. Goodie123 (7432) | 6 months ago |  It may only be Mylot is slow for you Ellie.
It seems to affect different parts of the world at different times.
I would not worry about it too much at the moment.
You will most likely find it will be running normal again shortly.

| |
|
|
| ellie333 (6024) | 6 months ago | Hi Goodie you could be right, I have cleared cache etc and restarted computer and it seems to be up to speed again so maybe myLot, maybe computer all I know is that I have a lot of catching up to do. Ellie:D | |

| 9. LadyT1208 (94) | 6 months ago |  Hi ellie
I'm not sure if it's myLot or not, one minute mines slow then fast. One thing to do if it happens again or just slows up period is click on "Tool" on your toolbar, then click on "Delete Browsing History" then clear out "Temporary Internet Files", "Cookies", and "History", then reboot.
This seems to help even if you use another brower, like Firefox, etc., to just open up Internet Explorer and do the above steps.
I hope this helps!

|
| ellie333 (6024) | 6 months ago | Hi LadyT, I have done all this and all now seems to be back up to speed again, yiipee. Thanks for advice. Some tonight have said that myLot was being slow so coul have been a combination of both. Ellie:D | |
