Took almost an hour this morning to open my Chrome browser. If I call up the task manager, I can close a few unneeded things to speed it up a little. I've used the Windows cleanup and the free AVG one. Task manager says my disk use is usually 100% but I don't know what that means. The other things on the Task Manager I can get down to about 65%. Any recommendations for things I can do on my own to help this problem? Thanks
If you are saying that Task Mgr. says that disk utilization is 100% you have a runaway application. If you click on the work DISK you can sort the applications by disk utilization. Find the runaway app and let us know what it is.
