My computer has serious trouble completing many basic functions. For example, startup takes several minutes to complete, sometimes startup fails all together. opening file folders often freezes the computer or takes 3 or more minutes. Problems started when i downloaded and installed a print driver for an hp psc 2110. The computer got EXTREMELY sluggish and failed to start normally. It even took several attempts to start it in safe mood. I finally managed to remove the software. but it has been acting very strange ever since.

Sometimes, like now, it acts fairly normal (I logged out and back in after a freeze up trying to download hiyjack this and open my documents), but most of the time it is impossibly slow, or freezes instantly.

I have done all the things that i know how to do to correct this problem (system restore, disk defrag, virus scan, malware scan, reducing the number of startup programs, etc.) but no luck. even when started in safemood the computer acts almost the same way. i have plenty of memory (2 gigs) and disk space. So I think it is a registry problem. I would reinstall windows, but i have lost my recovery disk and Toshiba wants $40 for a new one.

Any chance I can fix this by patching up the registry?

well you do have alot at start-up and it may appear a toolbar fails to load

you could do some of basics here like clearing your prefetch folder and do a simple cleaning along with a check disk

prefetch

start>>run>>prefetch>>ok>>go to edit and select all>>on any blue file right click and delete

cleaning>>start>>all programs>>accesseries>>system tools>>disk clean up

defragment>>start>>all programs>>accesseries>>system tools>>disk defragmenter

check disk>>open my computer>>right click c:drive>>properties>>tools>>check now>>check mark both boxes>>click start>>then you need to restart for check disk to run>>this may take up to 2 hours so be patient

on this next one you may need your xp cd

windows protection file

start run copy this and paste in the run command menu>>> sfc /scannow click ok

once this is all done we will see about disabling start-up items you do need
