my comp is slow

Post by Mikie253 »

I have a Dell Inspiron and recently my wireless network on my Laptop has slowed down alot. I have three comps on my network and all run fine. I know its not my provider and I have already searched for spyware and I have already scanned for viruses, also I have already reset my router. I have no idea what it could be, and I know its something with my comp. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Have you tried hooking up with and ethernet cable to see if it's any faster? If not check the running process in "MSCONFIG" see what you're running. Have you installed any programs lately that may be causeing it?
If I could remember all I have forgotten, I would be a smart man.

Yeah I have hooked it up by lan thats how I figure there is something wrong with my comp. I went to MSCONFIG and I couldn't find anything out of the ordinary. I don't know why its so slow, it just kinda happened one day and now I can't figure out the problem. Let me know of anymore ideas.
