![]() Take some time to clean your disk: all browser cookies older than 2-3 years (I had accumulated 12000 cookie files in 5 years), all temporary files, and files you just don't need any more (burn them to DVD or store them in the cloud). Some other things that may help a little, temporarily (for specific programs or speed in general): Scan your disk with software that investigates all sectors and enables the SMART system to reallocate bad sectors (HDD Regenerator or SpinRite) I have seen machines with slower HDs and low memory grind their disks because of that. You can probably ditch several programs that you don't need.ĭisable the search indexing that Windows does. And check program settings 'Start when Windows starts' - do you really need that?Ĭheck what all the processes running in memory are for. If you're also unsatisfied with slow startup, use Startup Delayer. Some other things that may help, permanently: The most obvious solutions have already been given by others (add memory (2GB is really not enough for Win7), remove the 'memory optimizer)'. Some resource monitor screenshot during lagging: When I changed it back to basic (after the Windows noticed the slowness and asked about that) it did some help, now it is 'just' slow. I think the reason for this was that it turned on the Aero theme. I ran Winzip Utilites to optimize the computer (malware/junk search, disk defragmentation, driver updates, registry clean-up) but It made things even worse. On the other hand, however, the resource manager does not really show too much disk usage (or I just do not see it) My suspicion would be that the hard drive causes the whole thing, because its led works a lot, and the laptop had always a considerable degree of lag when I had to manage files or start programs (especially compared to their 'loaded' speed). The lagging also stops sometimes when the program has already loaded in the window. I see the 'pop-up' visual effect, but have to wait for the new windows, which appears only very gradually, first the edge of the frames, then other parts etc).Īt the same time the mouse cursor's movement is fine (but not the context-dependent changes), and I also got immediate response for the alt+tab combo (that is, the popup window with the opened applications). ![]() ![]() Even like this, when I start or even just swap the screen to another bigger program the change of the windows becomes really slow and gradual (e.g. ![]() It always had some issues during startup or when starting a new program, but recently it just went crazy.įrom the 2GB I always have 300-800 Mbs free, and the cached memory rarely goes above 300 (from 1.9gb maximum), the cpu performance is great (barely reaches 40 percent). I have a Lenovo g560 3-4 years old, Intel i5, with 2GB ram and with a Geforce 310M. ![]()
