Tech Clinic / computer is too slow

« on: February 04, 2005, 01:00:51 PM »

I did ran ad-awear, and norton utilities, also defrag a hard drive last night.  But it did not really help.  
O4 - Global Startup: Pervasive.SQL Workgroup Engine.lnk = C:\PVSW\Bin\W3dbsmgr.exe
is for Business Vision 32 Database that i use at work and Pervasive helps to access data from another comp that we call "server".  Sorry, I should mentioned it before.  I just don't know what to look for http://images.thetechguide.com/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\'\' />
TuneUp WinStyler Theme Service -  i just put it in on my comp 2 days ago hoping it will resolve the problem - it did not.
What happens now - it takes a while to open a program and takes 100% of CPU , and when I work with MS Office, for example excel - it takes to long for computer  to actually show me the data I entered (i'm not a fast typer), and move between cells, as well as minimizing and maximizing the program windows.
Thanks

Tech Clinic / Problem Starting up the Comp Win XP Pro

« on: January 28, 2005, 11:04:43 AM »

After reformating the hard drive on a work comp and installing Win XP Pro on it, the computer does not start properly in the morning, once you get it started you can restart it as many times as you'd like during the day, and next morning it dos not want to start from the first couple of tries again.  Can anybody tell me what can possibly cause this problem and how to fix it, pls?
Thanks.
