pc running slow

[coderunknown]

Quickheal is crap anti-virus. It says virus in those files which are found clean most other AVs.

yup. quickheal is a crap A/V. that also paid.

@sam- IDK what problems you faced but I never came across such problems. Can you explain?

driver (sound), connectivity (broadband & GPRS) & slowdowns. happened to uncles pc too after updating it to SP3. thats why i asked OP if he updated to SP3.

^there are lots of redundant items in startup remove them...
also Kaspersky 2011 has so many entries "virtual keyboard"...???

only keep system files for startup....

 

[dashing.sujay]

Remove following items-
BCU, ISUSPM Startup, awpc. Rest are fine. And try to delete all, not just disable, it seems clean that way.

did all these.....steps nothing happened ....is there any other option left except for fresh format....??????

 

[dashing.sujay]

^^Sadly yeah. Though re-insert your RAM and HDD in case to test if everything's alright there.

 

[Blue Ripazah]

the speed is now fine ....but not up to the mark..........but the copying speed from one drive to another is very slow

and by one drive to another i mean ....on partition to another partition

 

[dashing.sujay]

Did you tried re-inserting RAMs and HDDs (check cable)?

 

[Blue Ripazah]

no i didnt last time i tried that and i lost all my data on my 500 gb hard disk.....but ill be doing a fresh format in a couple of days......hope that will work

 

[dashing.sujay]

wtf! If that is the case get your HDD (or its cable) checked. Because re-connecting HDD's never result in loss of data. I did many times daily.

 

[Blue Ripazah]

ohhk ...do you know any method by which i can chk my har disk

Did you tried re-inserting RAMs and HDDs (check cable)?

did the check and connected the hardisk into another sata port now working awesome thanks dashing sujay.....do you think i shud add another 2 gb ram to my pc ....currently im having 2 gb corsair ...and im running windows xp 32 bit....

 

[dashing.sujay]

You're welcome. 2gb is fine untill you game hard, that too only latest games. Moreover, you're recommended to use 64 bit instead of 32 bit as 32 bit isn't able to utilise more than 3.25GB.

Jus 1 question if you have not done a format and reinstall...what happens in safe mode?
If it works in safe mode then its a process stuck up[most likely third party]....which can be found out and eliminated using autoduns:
Autoruns for Windows

PS: If the drive or cabling is faulty then this will not help
