Slow Respones opening non-web applications (i.e.Word)
I purchased a new Inspirion 1150 a month ago. My daughter
has it at college and called to tell me that the response time is terrible just trying to open Word. "My Computer" is very slow to just find the files on the harddrive (flashlight icon is up for a long time.) Also, when it opens applications it is slow to "paint" some of the new windows. (i.e. "pieces of other windows are still displayed as the newactive window is being "painted"). I ran SpyBot to clean up any SpyWare. I ran the Dell diagnotics for "System Locks Up" and got errors for both the Read Test and Verify test. I also ran Memory test and it seemed to be OK. Below are the two errors 1) Running Symtom Tree - "System Locks Up Test" - Read Test Error Code 0F00:0244 MSGc Block 18047313 Uncorrectable Data Error or Media is Write Protected IDE Disk S/N = 3KW3ZHNR - Read Test Results Fail 2) Running Symtom Tree - "System Locks Up Test" - Verify Test Error Code 0F00:1A44 MSGc Block 18047313 Uncorrectable Data Error or Media is Write Protected IDE Disk S/N = 3KW3ZHNR - Read Test Results Fail Thanks. |

Hi Hikemike,
I purchased a new Inspirion 1150 a month ago Perhaps your first port of call should be Dell or, failing that, a Windows NG. --- Regards, Norman "hikemike" wrote in message ...

Do you have Norton AntiVirus install. It has an option to examine office
files. Perhpas this is a contributor to the problem although your tests (which I am not familiar with) may indicate a bad drive (best discussed with DELL). -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "hikemike" wrote in message ...
