laptop has slowed down

I utilize the msnews.microsoft.com news servers directly and have
subscribed to microsoft.public.windows.vista.general newsgroup from which
I read the OP (Original Post(er)).

You don't really want to be flashing your bios, except as a last resort, and
only if you've exhausted all the usual avenues. It's very risky and if you
get it wrong you will no longer have a laptop, but a glorified doorstop.

The main reason for slowness is usually pretty simple - ie just too many
programs running. As a camel weighed down with too many packages runs
slowly, so does a computer with too many services + programs weighing it
down.

Autoruns (free download) can help you to see what you have running at
startup, and help you to decide what you need and what you don't.
