Are you overloading your RAM. I'll give you my checklist for maintaining speed:
- RAM is used by wallpaper and/or a screensaver full of graphics. They run in the background and consume memory. (I have only 512mb RAM, run multiple programs simultaneously, and have set my wallpaper and screensaver to blank.)
I don’t do games, but I do know they are primarily graphics which need and use a lot of memory.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
- cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
- cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
- then cl Remove.
- This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
- When you are working in a large file, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to disk.)
1. Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag
2. Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.
3. From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart
3. click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
4. click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
- Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

It could be that you just have a slower computer. You have a low amount of memory installed on the computer. Or you have alot of stuff on your computer and it simply takes a second to register and load. This usually isnt a problem. If your computer is acting like this with other stuff you might have a virus or something like that. You can go to trend micro web site and do a FREE scan and see if you have a virus that your antivirus didnt catch. GOOD LUCK

Odds are it's just taking the time to scan your CD drives and hard drives to check their contents before displaying them in the window, especially if you hear your CD-ROM start up right after you click the icon. You might want to think about upgrading your computer's memory.
