DESK TOP SLOW

[BayBoy1]

My desk top has gone very slow,, but the Lap top coupled to it via router is working normal''' ANY IDEAS PLEASE ???? THAN YOU...

[TTG]

Display task manager and sort by cpu usage and then memory usage (tm is displayed by ctrl/alt/del). You will get some idea of what is taking up resources.

Failing that, power everything off and start again.

If still slow, Start/Run/msconfig. Show startup tab. Search on net for any ticked items and see if they can be safely unticked.

Check hard drive space.
