recently, my laptop has gotten so slow, it takes forever just to turn on. I have done everything I know to speed it up, but to no avail. that little blue circle just turns ans turns while I go about my business and get things done. I finally go check, ans it has stopped and then I can set it off on another long journey of finding the site i want. this may take another ten minutes, so i go do something else. I just need to sit down with it ans go over everything again. there is a page I can go to and try to speed it up from there, cant remember what its called, but its a help page for the lappy. When I have nothing else to do, that is my agenda. until then, I am sitting at the super fast desktop in my newly cleaned computer/spare room. I don't have any personal pics on here, or any personal stuff, and that kinda bugs me. but I can get past that.
John has been working a lot of OT lately. He normally doesn't have to do it at all, but there was some problems at the shop he works at, and until that is corrected, he has ot to do. Two hours a day and saturdays. Since he is doing that, I have had to take up the horrid chore of grocery shopping. If you have talked to me at all, you know that I DON'T GROCERY SHOP. I really am no good at it, and that is why John does it. He does the cooking, so he does the shopping. He buys what he wants to eat. I really don't care what I eat, so i clean. I think its a fair deal. don't know what I just hit, but now I am typing in italics.
So John is at work now, and I have stuff i was gonna go do. There is something supposed to be happening at the post this morning that I wanted pics of. I should have been there already. Then I need to go find some fabric and donate blood and pic up some more champagne and wine. I have a full day i think. I haven't even cleaned my house yet. I should have done it yesterday, but i didn't want to then either. I better get going. I could sit here all day. This puter is really fast and I kinda like it. See ya later.
geta wriggle on girlie!!
ReplyDeleteEm, I went to that site before when you told me about it and they would only fix so much. they wanted me to buy the package. I dotn want to buy it. I did a disk cleanup and deleted everything in that file. I have never deleted everything before. i was afraid to, but how could things get any worse. That helped a little though. I am defragging now, then i am going to bravely delete programs I have never used.
ReplyDeleteCarol, what do you mean, get a wriggle on? I went out and had to come back. everything was closed till 9 am. I did get my sheets changed while i was home.
Oh!! You blood donor you!!! What a wonderful giver of life you are!!! Take a bow, ma'am!
ReplyDeleteMay you be blessed with a FAST computer.. today.. tomorrow.. and forever!! Grrrrrrin!
Grrrr - like a lot of other places they've changed things around - it used to be ALL free. What you are doing should help your overall speed - but from what you're describing I'm wondering if the problem is more in either your wireless connection (since your desktop is plugged directly into the internet) or with your network card. And you should defrag on a regular basis anyhow.;
ReplyDeleteTry plugging your laptop directly into your router and see if that makes you access the internet faster. That will tell you if the problem is with your wireless card or the wireless setup. If it's still very slow - then it could be some sort of virus on your machine - ugh.
Remind me what antivirus you are using?
My desktop died and I quit taking it in for repairs. It was just so old that it gave up its ghost. lol
ReplyDeleteI love my laptop but not the smaller screen. I had a very large flat screen with my desktop. Oh well I like some things and other things I don't. I think it's time I defraged too. Have a good evening Lisa.
