my new installation is so slow, and keeps crashing. eg the hard disk seems to be accessing for ages when trying to change any systems settings, for example not being able to close windows, then bringing up taks manager and finding no processes happening, and then not being even able to close task manager lol

after reset, any changes (for example changing icons) has taken place, but needs a reset to get back to the system...

the raptor seems mighty slow, if feels like there is something working in the background but I can't find anything (even close virus and firewall, no difference)

this is my second installation on the new system, sluggish!

any ideas?


ps. noticed I have system restore on (my computer tabs) and it monitors both drives, is this default to have this on? my hard drive (rap) constantly accesses every couple of seconds...

Turn off system restore unless you realy need it also turn off indexing on all drives and disable the indexing service as this will slow things down a lot.
