Hi, your first problem could be you ran a registry cleaner. This is a thoroughly bad idea and can cause problems you simply don't want for no performance benefit.
I'll take that , but aftre I'd uninstalled alot of bloat, thought it would help
Secondly, please post a screenshot of your task manager, making sure you've clicked the CPU tab to show the processes using most CPU time at the top. Repeat for the Disk tab if there's any significant disk usage when idle.
OMG, that was painful, ok, got it, yeah, looks disky
Thirdly, Chkdsk:
From an admin command prompt
[Windows key + X, click command prompt (admin)]
chkdsk C: /F
Your PC will need to restart.
Make sure the result is clear or fixed.
Post back the result, which will be on the screen briefly.
Otherwise you can get the result as follows:
How do I see the results of a CHKDSK that ran on boot? - Ask Leo!
I did the x key to get the admin cmdpmpt and used chkdsk c: f/ r/ x/
based on someones website
you recommend just fixing without report,.. and i have no idea about the x, cept mebbe it dismounts the drive
Fourthly, download & install Shellexview (free) to try to identify problematic context menu entries -> slow right click.
In Shellexview, hide all MS entries, disable the rest and note in options there's also a 32 bit option which reveals more entries.
If the context menu is now fast, enable groups of extensions or 1 by 1 to identify problematic ones.
No log off is needed for this.
Presumably Zone Alarm is the free firewall only version, not the Pro version with AV (or whatever the case is these days).
