They are extremely slow in opening,Īs well, right now all seems to be OK, as I type this, I just opened processexplorer and it opened instantly, TM and resource monitor are running, event viewer is open, HDD led is not on.


I should mention that after about an hour of boot time, I can open places like control panel, event viewer ect. ProcessExplorer shows nothing more than TM. I have run ProcessExplorer as well as some anti-malware apps, with nothing found. I have been to safe mode, still takes long time to get there, but it does let me into msconfig, ect sooner the win 7 but opening said is still lengthly and timed out several times. There are a lot of processes running, but none that seem un-normal, most are svchost, and system. It is there that shows the 100% HDD activity. I have been into task manager, as well as the resource monitor within the TM. Thanks Mike, to answer your questions, yes I did a restore from 3 days prior to problem starting, and yes it took 3hrs., that's how slow pc is running. You will need Imgburn to make the disk from the ISO image file. Try and run SFC \scannow from the elevated prompt and let it look for corrupted files.Īs a last resort you can do a repair install of the OS but unless your Windows disk has service pack one on it, you will have to download the version of Windows you have with service pack one included and make a disk to do that. If the problem goes away see if you can figure out what isn't running that was causing the problem.Īlso look at Tools, Startup in CCleaner and see what's running at startup, turn off anything that might look like a problem, especially anything related to Avast, you can always turn them back on later.

If you don't then use, msconfig (type in run window) to set the computer to diagnostic startup on the general tab and reboot. If you can try that and see if you still get the same thing. You should be able to find out what's running by bringing up task manager and looking at what's running, (control alt delete). There is no way that, that would normally take more than 15 minutes or so, so something is really messed up someplace. When you say you did a restore do you mean you reset it to a prior restore point?
