Ok I installed Vista 64 home premium. Used it all day yesterday and was starting to really like it. It seemed just as fast as XP and I wasnt having any issues......until I defragged the hdd last night before going to bed. Now the computer is dog sloooooow. My cpu meter is pegged at 50-100% all the time. Even opening explorer or windows mail pegs the cpu at 100%. Navigating THG has my cpu pegged at 75-100%, how can this be? Oddly enough Ive heard its such a memory hog, my memory meter never goes past 35%.
Ive never even used a computer this slow. What the hell is the deal? I think Im going to format and re-install, if that doesnt help, Im going back to XP. Even when I type, my cursor can barely keep up, this is ridiculous.
Another strange thing. Ive deleted the windows old folder. My windows folder shows its less than 6gb, however I have 43gb of used space on my hdd. ???
