Also my computer takes forever to boot. It's just a few days old. I've gone into MSCONFIG and turned off all of the useless things that I don't need turning on when I boot up. I've also disabled anything that auto-updates. Yet the notebook takes almost a minute and a half to boot. Can this be due to my low end Celeron B800 1.5 GHz dual core processor or is it the OS? Any ideas on a fix?
Did you Delete all the Bloatware?
Did you go to Services and put some non-needed services on Manual
Some times when you do stuff in MSCONFIG they come back best to use Services and put them to Manual... ONLY use DISABLE if you know for sure it wont mess with something else.... or when you use MSCONFIG and they do come back you can go to
C:\Program Files and/or
C:\Program Files (x86)
find the one you don't want to start and change (Example the Extension from a .EXE to XEX or .DLL to .LLD etc. then they can't load )
You could try reinstalling your OS (Win 7 ??) I take it
