Runs Really Slow

[dmotel]

My desktop runs really slow. I use it mostly for web surfing and cloud-based business applications and though I often have Chrome and Firefox and IE running at the same time because of my work, I am amazed at how much faster things run on my little laptop than on my HP desktop. (n)

Can anyone suggest either a way to make it run faster or a computer that won’t make me sit there and wait for the mouse to get active again so I can open up more tabs in Chrome etc..

Thanks!

Report IE Proxy Settings
Reset IE Proxy Settings

List content of Hosts
List IP Configuration
List Winsock Entries
