During the last week or so, I've encountered a problem where my computer slows down very gradually until I can barely do anything! I have a 3 Ghz with 512 Ram so it should theoretically be blazingly fast. The problem is explorer.exe (when I look in the processes under the task manager) takes up almost 50% of my CPU plus over 200 megs of RAM!
It builds up to this point from starting windows...
Now, I do a defrag every two weeks and do consistent scans of my computer so I'm really dissappointed it's gotten to this point. I have no idea what to do, since I can't exactly end explorer.exe...
I've tried doing that and restarting it but this just starts the process over again.
I'd be very appreciative if anyone can offer a suggestion as to what could be the problem here. Thanks.
