I was having problems with the hard disc running almost all the time, and as is it turns out by simply setting the display under right-click on Computer Advanced System Settings Performance Settings Adjust For Best Performance, and that did the trick completely. I also tried the "ReadyBoost" feature on my old 1 GB flash drive, and that also has put a little less load on my 2 GB hard disc which by now is only flashing its light a little bit, nothing at all like it was before. My whole computer is running like five times faster than it was before, like it was brand new. -- Bub |

P.S. Oops!! I was so happy that my PC's hard disc light wasn't running almost all the time after disabling the "Aero" theme and so forth, that I wrote "2 GB hard disc" when I should've written 2 GB RAM and 500 GB hard disc. It's a 4 1/2 year old COMPAQ that's been a real work horse with the Win 7 x64 Home Premium, and MSE, with everything kept up-to-date. I'm pretty sure that the problem started after I downloaded and installed a large high-def optional update to the NVDIA display driver, and that gradually taxed the swap file more and more as months went on. Why I don't know because there's still plenty of available disc space (324 GB free), but it's working fine now. The default out-of-the-box Aero theme used to work fine. It was the big update that caused the problem. I did notice this morning that icons has replaced thumbnails in the file folders, so I re-enabled only that checkbox. I found a helpful web page "22 Easy and Free Steps to Make Windows 7 Faster & Faster": http://www.sysprobs.com/22-easy-free...-faster-faster -- Bub |
