Re: Vista page loading slowed to a crawl...tried everything!

Ah...
You are posting to a forum?, or somewhere else? and the stats below are not
in any of the posts in the newsgroup where I read your message.

Make sure you do not have Pagefile or Restore turned on for the D: drive.
Either would attempt to wirte files to the drive and find little space to
perform the desired actions. You should also have the Recycle Bin set to not
be active on the D: drive.

Make sure the program that is downloading videos/files is trying to save to
C: drive, not D: drive. For example, if you are simply downloading with
Internet Explorer, then the Temporary Internet Files folder is on C:, not
D:. (It sounds like a folder has been moved to D: that should not be there
that stores temporary data.)

Mark..no you misunderstood me, or I was not clear enough.
When you mentioned in your first answer about checking files to see if
there was errors etc. I said that the problem was with the D Drive and
it cannot be messed with.
I posted the stats on the percentages in both C and D drives (see last
post) and the clusters numbers where I was flagged.
I ran CCleaner and a Malware tool (Malwarebytes) and nothing. I still
have slow. slow page loading which makes computer unusable.

Thank you for the quick reply. The reason I think D may be the culprit
is because of that drive earning a FAIL in the relialibility scan. And
the clusters are red flagged in that same result tally.
As this is my recovery D Drive isn't deleting files a risky business?
D Drive: 729MB free disk space out of 8.07 GB
C Drive: 73 GB used out of 215GB
I did the check and scan disk on both drives. They came out perfect.
The cluster results from same report say D. has 186,549 free out of
2,303,000 and it is red flagged. This means ?
I am going to check folders for errors now and do the malware check
though I did three different virus/spyware etc. scans already.
Thanks and please let me know if this additional info. gave you any new
ideas!
Catt
