System limps

[Noor Motani]

I recently updated some drivers, particularly video and HP printer. Now my
system has started limping. When I open any program, it takes for ever to
open the program. Even after it is open, it takes a long to accept any
keystroke. I am using Vista home premium 32 bit with 4 gigs of ram operating
Dell Inspiron 531 AMD Athlon 5000 plus.
I have full scanned with Norton IS2010 and Malware byte and Advanced System
optimizer and found no malware.

Any help will be appreciated.

What happens if you go back to a restore point prior to updating the
drivers? If the "limping" disappears, you installed one or more bad drivers.

Hello Peter. I downloaded the driver from Nvidia through driver detective.
The video I have is on board Nvidia geforce 6150 nforce. I had also
downloaded printer driver for HP1300 again through driver detective and from
hp. In fact it installed 8 programs with it. When I tried to uninstall the
other programs, it tells me that it will effect HP universal printer driver.

I have not tried to go back to old restore point as the system had been
giving me other problems before too. The problem I had before and now is
that when I invoke any program, the task bar indicates that the program is
not responding which lasts for about 30 sec to 1 minute. Ever since I
purchased this system with vista, there has always been one or the other
problem cropping up. I purchased the system in July 2007. Previously, I had
a clone system with windows 2000 pro which I used for close to six years
without a single problem.

Vista is nothing but a problem in the neck. Here we go Microsoft!

I went to system restore and there is no restore point. I tried to create
one and It gives me an error that " shadow copy provider had an unexpected
error while trying to process the specific operation (0x8004230F) Please try
again"

So... you installed buggy 3rd party drivers, and you're blaming it on
Microsoft?? You should also blame them for the Chilean earthquake and
Russia's poor performance at the Olympics.
