Thread title doesn't seem appropriate now considering who or what was really to blame.

What was the problem?
Got oddly quiet even though you were so vocal about it before.
Now you know. ; ) Format fixes everything, almost everytime. Unless you have bad sectors. ; ) Congrats.
It's alos really easy to do once you have your drivers you'll need all downloaded and in a folder - ready to be installed.
Reformat: 20 minutes: Reinstall everyhing 20-30 including restart.
Your computer looks the same... accept it runs brand new.No unseen spyware / bloatware/ whatever it is that causes os's to become slow. They just need a little jump-start every now and then. : ) Good as new.
I just make an image of a fresh install with all my necessary software installed, like office and all that jazz.
With that, I could have a 'fresh' system up and running in 5 minutes. That being said though, I haven't had to do that for years, I guess Windows 7 really likes me. My computer has been a snappy little bugger ever since I have it an SSD, best computer "performance upgrade" ever IMO.
I'm with ya. I got a refurb 2011 iMac 3.4 i7 with a 256 SSD drive. iPhoto used to take forever to load up, now it's 'instant on'. Just 'boom' and it's on. I really only get a beachball when I'm hung on Safari. Really not in love with Safari 5.1.
Download chrome.
Firefox >>>> Chrome. Gotta keep the browser battle alive. Down with Cloud computing.
Can someone help me speed up my computer. It's way to slow.
