what's slow, and how slow

try ie instead of firefox.

disable java quick starter, adobe arm, itunes helper using msconfig

tick and fix skype toolbar

if bootup is slow, try disabling windows update

the solution that always works is backup and reinstall from disc or factory restore partition

Slow to boot up and seems to take an age before responding to commands. A few minutes at least.

I'll do the skype tick and msconfig later when I get a chance, I'm not massively keen to go back to factory restore TBH as I'd then have to spend ages taking off the preloaded bloat...

factory restore and uninstalling a few bits of bloat is faster than looking for a needle in a haystack

apart from the apple/creative/java/firefox bloat, there's not much showing in the log, and the commit charge is relatively low.

run chkdsk c: /F

and create a new user profile

if it's still slow to boot, have a look at which process is hogging the cpu

What you suggested seems to have done the trick, much better. Thanks
