Over the past few days, something has happened that has caused my new system
to bog down; & now, everything is running slower...program loading, web
surfing, etc. [even the 'Quick Launch' Bar is loading blanked out &
completely blue (in color) at bootup, for 30 seconds; & then popping up.]
Recounting my steps...only three things have occurred since I set the new
computer up [the OS of which (XP Pro SP2) was configured for high-speed,
high-efficiency digital audio workstation use]:
1) I also do a lot of graphic related work; & wanted to be able to utilize
'Filmstrip' in my view options. When I changed to that...'Folder Options'
was enabled.
2) I uninstalled Windows Messenger (by using the correct applet...Add/Remove
Programs > Windows Components.)
3) By doing one or the other of those two things...'Automatic Updates'
switched itself on (had been turned off by the PC's mfg.) So yesterday, it
downloaded & installed 7 new Windows updates.
4) I also noticed that my Processor Scheduling is set to background
Services. I haven't talked to tech support yet...but I can't imagine they
would set it up that way on an audio machine.
Sure hope I can get this thing back to its previous, lightning quick
performance level.
Thanks,
