I hope this is the right place for this kind of post...
My computer boots up and the desktop shows up the icons appear for a moment then they disappear, also it seems to take way longer then it did before to launch anything. The computer itself starts around the same 52 seconds, however it use to take 29 seconds from when my computer got to the desktop to open Firefox, now it takes a good minute and a half.
I can force the icons to show up by going to the desktop>right click>view>uncheck "Show Desktop Icons>Then rechecking "Show Desktop Icons". However as soon as I reboot it goes back to the same. I ran some virus scans, a registry cleaner, Spyware remover and even some Malware tools. I even booted into safe mode (which does not suffer the same problem) and ran all my tools again, then rebooted normally and the problem is still there. Any thoughts on this one?
it is a new Asus G50Vt-X5 laptop, about a month or two old. With Windows Vista Home Premium, 4gigs of Ram, NVIDIA GeForce 9800M GS video card and a Intel Core 2 Duo Mobile @ 2.13GHz.
Also talking about the Processor, I went to install World of Warcraft, the same day my above problem started acting up, a game I had installed 4-5 other times with zero problems yet all of the sudden I am being told that my laptop does not have the required amount of CPU to run the game, when clearly it has more then what is needed.
