Computer delay driving me crazy, Help!
 

About 2 weeks ago I did a Windows update and since that time I have a 3-5 second delay whenever I click open a new window or take some other action. So what happens is say I want to click open a link. I click on it and then it takes 3-5 seconds before anything happens. Then when the window opens it takes 3-5 seconds before the new window is actually "live." Tried googling for an answer, but no luck. Any suggestions? I'm running Windows Vista. Yes I know it sucks, but no problems with it before now.

Dump the update and reload it....

Check for a virus or malware.
Clear out your temp folders.
Go into Task Manager:
- see if you have any install programs hanging around
- check for unusual processes taking a large amount of memory
- see what percentage of resources are being used.

If you go to Control Panel, arrange it by date of action the uninstall/install items. Anything odd, dump. If it is just the update, dump it......reload and look for it.

Just did a cleanup on my brothers, kids and momz.....amazing what crap was on there.

Thanks guys, I'll try the suggestions tonight!

If you have trouble...PM me your number. I'll walk you thru it. I assume this is Windows? I also talk Vista....
