Slowness of Windows 7 machine 2 years old
Recently my computer has been freezing. It usually will start when the screen saver is on. Sometimes just hitting the enter key will stop it, other times I will have to use the 'off' button and just reboot. Usually it works for a few days or so then does it again. I have heard of the Event Viewer and have looked at it but I have no clue what I'm looking at or for.
Another problem I have is right click. Anytime I right click on anything it takes from 1 to 2 minutes for the sub entries to show up.
I am running Win 7 on a 2 year old machine, I have never reinstalled Windows on this computer but I did a repair install after about 7 months. Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions short of a wipe and reinstall.
