Delay in aaw opening
« on: February 03, 2006, 09:36:30 AM »
There seems to be an unusual long delay in opening window loading on Ad-Aware Plus.
It takes some time searching for definitions.
This had started happening since reinstalling.
Have I set it up differently?
Help would be very welcome.

kenb,
I recommend that redownload a fresh copy of Ad-aware plus,
(Note you will need your registraion details to get the new copy)
then after doing that un-install the version you have of Ad-aware plus, Then Reboot (ie: Re-start your PC)
 then go and remove any folder that is left behind on the hard drive IE:The orphaned Lavasoft folder.
Then re-install Ad-aware plus.

kenb,
just a thought but have you tried doing a thorough Disk Defragmentation,
if not try one also clear out your cache folder ie: temporary internet folder There are some free programs that you can use that will do that for you if needed like ;)
CCleaner
(Note in CCleaner: go to >options > advanced > Uncheck "Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 48 hours"). .
please can you do a"Full Scan" and post it for us by using the Add-Reply Feature .
Also you may want to  download ewido

Thanks for all assistance offered,I have finally after what seems like months of problems of various kinds have managed with the help of a computer repair service  to cure the problem. After a quick inspection the motherboard was found to be faulty,there was obvious leakage on several capacitors making the board unstable causing all sorts of alarms and reboots.Motherboard replaced,problem solved :thumbsup:.
Hoping to return to some form of normality
