Hello all,
I upgraded my desktop to Vista x64 and it runs very slow (formated the hard drive). The mouse moves about the screen like normal but after i click on something it takes like 20-30 seconds to do anything. I had it do windows updates but have not had it on the net outside of that. I did the memory check and all checked out fine. I am certian there is no virus on it, I just think that i have a setting wrong or something. I updated the drivers on th video card, montor, BIOS, thinking that would help. But to no avail. Specs listed below. It is a home brew system. And ran windows xp 32 bit just fine. Everything hardware is the same. The only thing that i did was format HD and install Vista X64 download drivers from net on a diff computer and installed them. It boots up fine. Actually quiet quickly.

MOBO- Asus A8S-X
HD- Mextor 200 gig (Vista X64 is on a 48 gig partition w/ 16.8 left unused on that partition)
Video card- Radeon X1950
RAM- 3gig

Thanks,
Elmer

Sorry i might have missled you. But yes it was a freash new install. Formated the HD..... unless i need to do it some other way?

I will all that you have mentioned. I did try safe mode and it zips along just fine. I will let you know how the other works out. Thanks

The clean boot did not help. There was only 3 programs running afetr i hid all microsoft programs. one was my Avast.
The only thing that has yellow warning is my on board sound card. i dont have the drivers for that loaded up yet.
My MOBO has a memory test that i used and it came back fine. But will download memtest86 and let you know it goes.
I am running Malwarebites and will let you know how that goes. Also will install speedfan after malwarebites and let you know.
Thanks for all the help.

I ran malwarebites and had one listed "PUP.BundleOffers.llQ". So i deleted it and rebooted and still no better.
Memory test came back good.
While playin around in the control panel i clicked on "preformance information" found out my "graphics" & "gaming graphics" were rated at 1... Everything else on the list is rated 4.2 or above. Seems to me i have video card issues.... But I really dont know.
I am loading speed fan and will keep you updated. I installed the new drivers for my video card but still not working.

Thanks again.

I am on to something!!!!!!!!!!!! I dont have it fixed yet but when i uninstalled the drivers for my video card it ran perfect! well except for poor graphics. lol, anyways let me know your thoughts.

Thanks guys. and gals
