I hadn't shut it down for a couple of days because when I was done, I was just put it on "sleep." I shut it down fully, and ever since, it's been acting slow. But it's only slow when it comes to rebooting or returning from sleep. It's not infected with any viruses or anything like that - I've checked.  I have downloaded some programs that I'm gonna uninstall and I started using the Vista Sidebar again, so maybe that has something to do with it. Help?

They should be parallel to each other and be held in place by clips on either side of each chip. Try removing one of them and then starting your computer up without it. If it's still not running properly then put that one back and try removing the other one. This might work but if it does, you'll eventually want to buy a new chip to replace the one you removed. iBritt Posted at 5:59 pm on July 23, 2008 I don't download any porn; I use sites like youporn, redtube, etc. circa Posted at 5:59 pm on July 23, 2008 Click for simple, easy ways to optimize your computer's performance.
