I've asked the "so-called" IT guys at my work, but they have no clue how to fix things and I wonder why they are even in "IT"...

"I feel your pain"

There are a LOT of folks that belive they are "IT" staff. They are just staff, kinda like "RINO."

1. Unnecessary programs running in the background.

Check here… Start, Run, msconfig and click the tab labeled startup. The check boxes on the left indicate if the program starts on the boot. Check HERE for the general concept and screenshots. Check HERE for the actual list of the programs and their functions. You probably will be able to uncheck most items in the list. The idea is to leave on stuff like your anti-virus and your anti-spyware programs

2. Virtual Memory. Check here… Start, Control Panel, System, Advanced, Advanced, Virtual memory, Change.

Select “Custom Size” and then set Initial and Maximum to 2048. Click on OK, OK, Apply, OK.

That should do it.

Well, I changed the virtual memory...thank you, I’ll see if that helps.

As for the start up items, there is nothing on there that isn’t needed...
