I recently reformatted my computer. I reformatted because it was running extremely slow and all scanners possible turned up with nothing. After the reformat, the computer is even worse. Internet takes forever, and when i click back, it doesn't go back. I know it is not an isp issue for sure. Any advice is needed. I Am Alone And Afraid In This Scary Dark Computer World. Plz Help.

I'll never understand why so many people believe that reformating is best way to fix a problem. Explain how you did it. Did you install all the latest drivers...chipset, video, sound, LAN, etc?

i reformatted becuz it was the only thing left to do. the computer is not used that much at all. I installed all the latest drivers and all the windows updates. Everything is installed correctly. I Am Alone And Afraid In This Scary Dark Computer World. Plz Help.

"easiest"? ...... but maybe not the best. Describe your computer's before the "reformat".

have you tried to degragment your pc? after a format when you install all your software and drivers you and really fragment your hard drive, go to, start >> all programs >> accessories >> system tools >> degrament run it and see if this helps. turn off your screen saver, abd any power management you have active that will turn off your pc, or hibenate. do not use your pc while degramenting. this could take hours so be prepared. hope this helps.

How did you format your PC ? Format using Windows XP CD-ROM or what ? Sometimes formating generates clusters that are 512 bytes long and not 4 kilobytes long. This makes Windows extremely slow. I suggest you uninstall all partitions and then make new partitions using Win XP CD-ROM and then reformat. You can then reinstall Windows. Regards suatcini
