To know why your computer is slow,
Under windows: press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC. This will show you the programs active on your computer. Identify the culprit (it will take up most processor time and/or memory). Identify the program and try doing without it.
Under Mac, open the Activity Monitor and do the same.

Reboot and keep tapping F8 key elect danger-free mode and do a device fix to even as it worked. note that even as device fix gained't mess inclusive of your archives, it is going to eliminate classes that you've put in because the fix factor replaced into created. So, even in spite of the actuality that your archives proceed to be untouched, you'd be unable to get proper of entry to them till you reinstall this technique with which they are linked. really, device fix would not do an entire interest of uninstalling classes, in spite of the actual shown actuality that it neutralises their outcomes on your device. in case you want to reinstall a software after fix, first use the administration Panel's upload/eliminate classes applet to do an entire uninstallation, and really then reinstall this technique from scratch.
