Compaq Presario CQ56 SLOW!!!!

My brothers carer has the above laptop. It has Windows 7 HP and 2GB of Ram. On Startup I have noticed that 58 items start up, and it uses between 50 - 100% of the CPU and up to 1GB of the memory :yikes: . I have run msconfig, defragged the HDD, but still the problem remains, what can be done about this?

Oh and I should mention its got one stick of DDR3 Ram.

Right-Click on the Task Bar, click Task Manager and have a look in the processes list, also if it's not appearing there, click Show Processes from all users

Re: Compaq Presario CQ56 SLOW!!!!

So how much CPU is each of those using? And in what order? If AvastUI is using >50% on it's own, then that's a problem. But without knowing how much each uses, it doesn't tell us what's causing the problem. How about sort by CPU then take a screenshot?
