Remove your CDROM and check ur system,if ur system still slow. Then may be ur system infected with a virus/spyware etc.\nOtherwise chage ur CDROM.

Run a Spyware scan, which is probably the number one reason for a slow computer these days.  The Yahoo toolbar has a good one, powered by Pest Patrol.  There are other free ones available at http://www.download.com/  The best two free ones IMO are Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D.\n\nAfter you run one or more of these, also do a virus check, a disk defrag and other tweaks, and you should be back to normal.  If ALL ELSE fails, back up what you can, and reinstall Windows.  If that doesn't work, it's a hardware problem.\n\nGood luck!

There a lot of reasons your computer can get slow.\n\nIt can get slow if you are running out of disk space or if limewire is running in the background taking up CPU cycles. Uninstalling it will fix this.\n\nYou can also clear out your Internet Cache to free up disk space. This is in the Internet Explorer "Tool: Internet Options". Menu. Select "Delete Files".\n\nAnother problem is temporary files that never get deleted. I've seen thousands of files left around in the temporary folder. You can clean this up by clicking on the Start button and selecting "All Programs : Accessories : System Tools : Disk Cleanup". CAUTION: This tool will offer to do a lot more than it should. Only select the following. Make sure everything else is unselected.\n\n   "Downloaded Programs"\n   "Temporary Internet Files"\n   "Recycle Bin"\n   <anything with the words 'log' or 'temporary.>\n\nChances are you also have adware or spyware, or even viruses on your computer slowing it down. A friend of mine has a computer that was so infected it took 10 minutes just to start up.\n\nYou should install a good virus scanning program. If you already have one, make sure it is up to date. The virus scanner I use on my home computer is AVG. Best of all, it's free for home use.\nhttp://free.grisoft.com/\n\nNext, a good adware/spyware scanner if Microsoft Defender. Again, this is free (for the time being).\nhttp://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx\n\nA problem with both Microsoft Defender and AVG is they schedule a scan of your computer every night by default. This is a bad thing because it will put way too much wear-and-tear on your computer. Turn off any scheduled scans.\n\nAnother good spyware scanner (again free) is AdAware.\nhttp://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/\n\nFinally, and this one is a difficult one to fix, you probably have a bunch of stuff auto-starting that shouldn't. For example QuickTime, Adobe Acrobat and RealAudio, Microsoft Office, all install little programs that automatically start when your computer starts. These programs are supposed to make the companies main program start up quicker. They load a part of the main program in memory so the next time you want to run Acrobat it runs quicker. The problem is, it uses up your RAM and makes everything else run slower. You can use a special program named MSCONFIG to fix this. You can also use a program called HijackThis which you can download from the web. The problem with these tools is you need to know what should automatically start with your computer, and what shouldn't.\n\nAlso, if you have popups that pop up when you aren't even browsing or when you are at a webpage that shouldn't have popups, your computer has been hijacked by spyware. The only way to get rid of this is to use HijackThis. Download it from the web and have it generate a log file. Then post the log file here (or send me a message with it).\n\nBTW, eMule is much better than limewire and doesn't have spyware.\nhttp://www.emule-project.net/

99% of it doesn't work and will make your computer go slower.\n\nIf you want to speed it up remove the things that load on start-up, de-frag your drive, remove un-needed files, and un-install anything you don't use.

Its called 'writing' or 'data burning', not downloading. Well, you need a CD-RW Drive and a CD Burning software. Its quite impossible to describe the whole thing here, you had better consult a technician.

I think you may just need to clean out your PC.\n\n1. Defrag your PC.  (Start > Programs > Accessories > Systems Tools > Disk Defragmenter)\n2. Give your PC a good spyware cleaning.  Use Windows Defender for this (http://www.microsoft.com/athome/security/spyware/software/default.mspx)

Try copying it to your hard drive at the lowest settings.  When you are copying, press ctrl-alt-delete.  Go to processes, and be sure to end any processes that you deem unnessesary.  It would be a good  idea to temporarly shut down anti virus programs, esspecially norton, because they tend to make your processor work.  These mess ups happen ussually because your processor isnt capable of ripping a dvd (which is very cpu intensive), and due even moderately  cpu intensive tasks, especially if it is an older cpu.  Turn off background programs that you think you dont need (avoid the ones with microsoft lable or if you think they are important...esspecially make sure you dont turn off explorer)...then try it.

Well sice PC's can't be smart nor stupid that's not the cause.\n\nTry cleaning and defragmenting your drive. Also heat build up can cause drives to act weird and eventually fail, keep all air ways clean and clear and if needed add another fan.\n\nAlso, you can run disk check.\n\nYour RAM may need to be upgraded, you didn't really say when it freezes up.\nA new program could be a culprit as well as spyware, I use Ad awre SE personal to take care of that junk, it can really bother things! And best of all it's free just need to download it from their site, made by lava soft. That stuff can get on there even with a good fire wall running.\n\nCheck for programs that are running all of the time, when you didn't open them, they just slow things anyways, most not needed!\n\nClean out your internet files and cahe even cookies, use controil panel for that.

Defrag your hard drive partitions (All of them)\n\nYou can do this by going in:\nStart > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.\n\n(This may take an awfully long time!)\n\nIt makes your PC run faster.

There is a program running that is taking up resources to cause this.  Try a virus scan and spyware scan.  If you don't have antivirus or spyware removal tools try the links below.  You may also want to try to defragment your hard drive.

Your computer is probably getting slow because of spy-ware or a virus,or maybe you need to update your computer

you can stop the CD drive ejecting all the time by using a tube of glue and gluing the drive shut, only kidding, I think your computer has picked up a virus,you should scan your computer with an anti virus,there are some free ones out there such as AVG from http://www.computeractive.co.uk

You probably have programs running in the background that are preventing it from working properly. For Windows, restart into Safe Mode and try running Disk Defragmenter there.

The speed of your PC may be too slow or you need to defrag the hard drive and use the Disk Clean up program in your PC.

well restart it and put it in normal and then go toaccesories in the start panel and system tools and select disk defragment and start a defrag of the hard disk,this will take a couple hours but it works,if u cant put it in normal try doing the same in safe mode
