So slow on start up, comp only 6 months old

well acer has a few weaknesses, the keyboard and the battery... my friend bought an acer laptop too and had to change the battery with the new one after 5 month used

Hi there !

It is simple to solve by pressing F8 when booting up and running your computer on safe mode. Safe mode will fix some errors because of some faulty drivers or multiple drivers installed with the same drivers.

After that restart again you computer and then defragment your computer by going to start menu, choose accessories, choose system tool, choose disk defragment. Do it every week and surely will run your computer faster.

I hope it helps you.

It seems that your computer is loaded with a lot of programs during startup. This means that before windows can formally start, it has to load all those software into memory which can readily translate into slow performance.

To boost your computer performance, you have to decide which software to load at start-up (or boot time) and which should be loaded when necessary only.

To make this easier, I recommend that you download "CCleaner" software, a free software that can manage all these. With CCleaner, you can easily "disable" a software that is configured to load at startup.

These is no risk in unloading a software from startup since you can just open them when you need it. Startup programs comsume a lot of resources making your system to perform slowly.

Also, with CCleaner, you can cleanup the registry with all the mess that your programs do.

You can download it HERE.

probaly cause u may have slow old comp with lots of viruses

Yes, you can safely uninstall the acer game zone.

You should defragment the hard drive with Defraggler (http://www.filehippo.com/download_defraggler/)
and clean temporary files with CCleaner (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/) and eventually scan for spyware with Ad-Aware or Spybot, oh, and also a full system virus scan wouldn't hurt either.

You could also disable some programs which load at startup via Start -> Run -> type "msconfig" (without the quotes) -> Startup and disable not needed items.

there is a connection problem with the screen or a graphics chip fault, being as it's only 6 months old, do not void the warranty by trying to remove anything, return to your original selling retailer

Your acer is infected with virus that current antivirus cannot detect. uninstall new application programs that make your computer slower. however if non of those causes; please try to check the memory maybe is not function well. if it is not the cause then; You should reinstall your system to fixed all error on it. ( note: reinstalling will remove some important files and you should back up) Further more; the best thing to do is format the HDD and install the new windows.

Harry: take note: that other causes of the computer slower is the HDD , I encountered 50 times problems that computer become slower bcoz of the hard drive mulfunction. If this is the case you should replace hard drive that is covered with warranty.
