Hi guys,
I have a little Advent netbook which is running really slow and I'm not sure why. Only 13.1gb of the 146gb capacity is being used so there is ample free space. Programs and files which are never used have been deleted and a virus scan provided clean results. Can anyone think of any reason why it's suddenly started to run really slow? I am confused
Thanks for any help

As above... RAM, Operating system, Processor (Probably an Atom) we need to know.
How many programs do you have running in the task bar?
What's it slow doing? Slow on videos? Slow in general?0 -

It'll be 1GB, unless OP has swapped it for a 2Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
