It's a Gateway Laptop ver.68.04
AMD K8 1.6meg CPU
ATI Radeon XPRESS 200M Series 64mb
80 Gig HD
MS Media Center SP2.0
Direct connect to cable modem.
It takes 7-8 minutes to accept any keystrokes.
task manager shows a lot of processes during startup that disappear soon after it starts accepting keystrokes.
One of which is regedit.
After loading FireFox, the screen flashes a few time, and small windows flash open then close immediately.
Too fast to read.
I have been running just about every utility program that I thought may help.
The Geek Squad set it up when we first bought it last year, and it has been slow ever since. I asked them to not put on all the advertising garbage like the "bestbuy best deals, AOL, Superfix, etc. They did anyway.
Here's my log files.
Please let me know what to do short of tossing it into the river.
Thanks,
Drew
