Hi All.
I am a newbie and I am from York, in the United Kingdom. Please excuse me if I am posting in the wrong section, but I could not find the section that I required.
I bought a new laptop 4 weeks ago and I upgraded from windows 7. the pc I have now is suppose to be twice as fast as my old laptop and it had double the memory. I am running on an AMD Quad Core. with 800GB memory. so my problem is.
When I am booted up, and I open my windows explorer search bar, I type something in to find, lets say This site. it then does nothing for about 20 seconds then it will come up with the with this site. I will then highlight an section that I want and the little circle in the search bar will go round for about 40 seconds, then open up, I will then click on a part of that section, then I have to wait for the little circle to go round for about another 40 seconds, then it will bring it up, if I click on my Back Arrow, it will once again start to think about it, then the circle will go round yes another 40 seconds and it will go back..... its so frustrating and SLOW, and its suppose to be twice as fast as my old laptop.
Why does it take so long with the little circle going round, is it security checking on the things that I try to search, If so can I turn this checker off ???? why do I have to wait so long on every action command, If anybody can help me, I would be grateful, and I have only used about 30Gb of my memory, so it cant be that what is slowing it down... or is this what windows 8 will be like.
Thanks
Christmas Wishes to All.
