slow after not using, tho pc is on

kermit, it just occurred to me that you didn't say to disable it, rather you
simply said it may be slowing the pc down; 1, can i do so without any harm,
other than slow searching ? & 2, below are the instructions i did find to
disable it, & want to make sure this is how it's done.

thanks very much !

Windows' indexer routine will noticably slow down some systems. It could
be the indexer is running on your machine when the system is quiet and
then when you come back to use the computer, resources are slow to return.

4.. Click on General tab if it’s not already selected.
5.. Untick (unselect) the check box for Allow Indexing Service to index
this disk for fast file searching option.
6.. Click OK, and wait for the index removal process to complete, which
may take a few minutes.
7.. Repeat the steps for other hard drives if applicable.
Disable the Indexing Service in Windows XP

Is this a laptop or desktop?

Have you looked at Control Panel, Power Options? What is your Power
scheme?

Presentation keeps everything "hot" for when you talk a long time
during your PPT show and tell. No delays.

Always on turns off your monitor after a while, but leaves your HDD
ready.

Look at the other options.

Depending on your scheme and manual overrides, your disk may be
turning off after 15 minutes. This will have to spin back up when you
come back from your nap. That can take a bit.

Try Presentation (always "hot") for a while.

If the issue goes away, you need to pick/adjust/create your own Power
scheme to suit you habits and expectations when you return to action.

Roger that Dallas. These are the steps I followed. One of my PCs is an
older single-core desktop which I built a few years ago. The
Searchindexer.exe app made my machine so slow I thought it was hijacked.
Following the steps you have below solved my problem. I'm not saying that
is what your problem is but the symptoms sound the same. Good luck.
