Hello. Just recently I've been having a lot of problems with my PC.. It's weird. The cursor begins to move really slow as I drag it around, and the computer games I try playing are often in slow-mo (one game only works properly when the screen resolution is 800x600, whereas the setting above used to be the norm for me). Another thing I've noticed is that my system resources seem to falling quite quickly.. I used to never see it below 90% and just recently I checked and it was around 60%, maybe lower. Any suggestions (other than 'buy a new computer') ? |

Your HD might be close to full? You need to defrag your HD? Buy a new computer. |

Virus scan in progress... What does defragmenting actually do? |

defrag is like a compression tool |

defrag is not a compression tool it basically resorts your drive contents, so they're not all over the place but this doesn't sound like a fragmentation problem - your hard drive has got nothing to do with your mouse |

Everything seems really jerky.. what could cause that? |

Its allways good to defrag tho! Keeps your drives in shape. |
||||||||

|

to much delete and install without a defrag |
||||||||

I'll give that a go.Wish me luck. |

When degfraging it is a good thing to shut down all backround programs like virus detectors and MSN or else the defrag might never finish , it just goes on in a loop. I don't know if this happens nowdays but it was a problem in win 98. |

Lovely! It stayed at 0% for an hour while I was out the room, and at some point froze the computer! I'll try again after I restart with all my startups disabled... |

Do a Scandisk first and let it fix small disc problems. then defrag. and wear a clown suit |

 "oscillik:but this doesn't sound like a fragmentation problem - your hard drive has got nothing to do with your mouse" hey - remember - this is a pc user you are talking to... ;) |

check if the amount of ram is the same as what you put in there to begin with, if not, or if the resources are really full try taking out a stick and seeing if using only the other one gives you the same result. it's possible for a pc to run with dead ram as long as you have one good stick remaining. if you only have one ram stick, try using msconfig to stop some programs starting at startup, unless you're win2k, then i can't remember how to stop things (bad luck for me cos that's what i got). it's def. a ram problem (too much shit going at once) or could possibly be a cpu fan fuck up (especially if ur on a pentium 3) causing an overheat throttle down problem. |
