So pretty much things like Skype and Google Chrome take AGES (at least 10 minutes to open), things like osu glitch out sometimes and I have to open it via program x86 or just screwing by opening test and closing it, updating until it works, etc., but things like Mozilla Firefox are opening right away, but pop ups show up when I open them.

This only started today when I got back from Costa Rica, and I checked my control panel, nothing really seems suspicious...

Check your Task Manager and see if your Memory or CPU isn't being worked to death by some weird process or something. Post screenshots, provide what OS you're using and your hardware specifications; help us help you.

Don't go to Central America.

I checked, and there was a hamachi thing taking up 4.4%, but ending it didnt do anything. Right now, according to the memory, 2.4 out of 7 GB is being used, so that isn't necessarily a problem.

Most people use it for private servers like Minecraft, but i don't see anyone keeping it on while playing osu or doing something else lol

It wasnt even on, or at least on my screen. It wasn't fully closed I guess.

Hamachi is never fully closed until you uninstall it.

Sounds to me like a hard drive problem. Is it almost full? If so clean it up. Is is fragmented? Seach 'defragmenter' in the windows search bar to see, and defragment it if it is.

I doubt it but check CPU usage in TM.

Scan for viruses.

You might want to get a solid state drive, anything on those will load way faster. For example, my PC with Win 7 on an SSD boots to desktop before even those circles come together to form the Windows logo on the black background.

No, we can't. Giving a really poor description of the problem and arguing about every suggestion doesn't fix anything nor motivates anyone to even try to help you. All we know is that you have a problem with your computer, you don't give any details when asked to and I have no way to take a look at the problem myself.


Reinstall everything or buy a new computer.
You owe me $50.
Well I'm not asking for a super huge detailed 1000 word essay on this, I just wanted something simple, which was given by some nice people like B1rd and Brian.

Anyways, I only made 2 posts after a created this thread, one replying to Brian and one saying anyone talking about hamachi could help me, nowhere did I argue. Added to that, it was a simple problem that I needed answered, so I don't think too much info is needed.

you must not into computers then. seriously.

there's thousands of little interconnecting things that could go wrong to create the same problems on computers. from malware to file association to screwed up files and registry keys. you saying "stuff aint workin right" gives not even the slightest but of information. i gave what help i could though

you could at the VERY LEAST comb your event viewer for system errors and warnings. computers are way too complex to possibly do anything besides make guesses with the info you gave us

delete every single extension you have on chrome/firefox - you probably downloaded something that forced add-ons onto those and now someone is making money off you
