FAQ - "My system feels sluggish. What's wrong?"

[Castellon]

I will just sticky this, thanks for your insight as always jpd!

I would also add that a virus scan and a look at start-run-then type "msconfig" and look under the start tab. You maybe supprised at how many things are being loaded automatically in the background. Also look at the startup folder in the start menu to see what is in there. It is possible to run a very clean system, myself the only thing that loads at start up is some MS office stuff, there is nothing in my system tray(the area in the bottom right coner of the screen where the clock is).

Some users have reported that reverting to some older video drivers helped speed up the game considerably.

I would like to give a tip/advice about the startup programs when you boot up windows. I found a small program which made it possible to clean every part of your computer easily.

It's called EasyCleaner and you can find it here:
