Windows 7 Slowness following Virtual PC and Visual Studio Install
- by Elliot Hughes
I'm running Windows 7 32bit on a 3.2ghz Pentium D with 2gb RAM and a 1TB SATA hard drive.
My system was running as fast as it ever has until I installed Visual Studio and Virtual PC a few days ago. Ever since - regardless of whether either application has been running the system has been running incredibly slowly.
For example flash video plays jumpily, 3D games that used to run fine are now unplayable and even the smallest amount of multitasking makes the system unusable.
I'm confident there is no virus or other such things present following scans in safemode and I'm fairly confident I've made no other changes to my system.
Any ideas - I've run out of things to try!
