My HP-Vista based laptop has become very slow recently
- by goldenmean
My HP laptop which has Vista Home premium. When I try to start Firefox, internet explorer, it becomes very slow. No other app. When i checked the Performance in Task Manager. It shows the Physical memory , Free as 0 bytes, almost always. This has been recently. Earlier it didn't used to be zero. Laptop has 2GB of RAM. I have nothing running in my tray except - Sound control, Laptop power plan indicator,Network status indicator.
There are no other processes whose memory usage adds up to so high to make Free memory as 0.
Then what could be hogging the memory and make the laptop very slow.
Any pointers would help as it is crawling at the moment.
