Running Vista Home Basic.
For the past few days my computer has been running very slow. It can take up to 5 minutes to access a page on the net. Sometimes it Timesout. If I try to watch a video on Youtube it stops every few seconds to buffer. The same if I try to watch news video on Yahoo News.
I have done a Defrag, disc clean up, run Malwarebytes, CC Cleaner, AdAware, Super AntiSpyware and AVG. I have also done a restore. All without any improvement.
I have not had an increase in the number of processes running [61].
Any help would be appreciated as I do not know what to check next.
Thank you.
GEORGE.

I have had 61 processes running since I bought the computer. To be honest I do not know which if any are needed and are not.
My system
Dell Vostro 200 Intel Celeron CPU 420@1.6Ghz 1Gb RAM 32Bit.
That is all the information I can find.

I think your PC may be slowing down because it cannot handle the load. I had a PC that has your computer's specifications. It was slow because Vista should not have been installed on a system that slow, it simply used too many resources. Couple that with the 61 processes and your computer's performance would degrade. What exactly are the processes running?

How can I copy the tasks to list tem here. I tried a copy/paste but it does not work. How do I do a screen shot?

I have followed the Bleeping Computers instructions for enabling the Snipping Tool but it is not listed under Windows Features. Is there another way to take a screen shot.
Windows Home Basic.
