    My PC goes really slow

    Even at the turning on of the computer everything goes slow.It needs so much time at the startup screen.It needs time to enter windows,it needs so much time to put all the programms that start with windows and goes really slow at everything that I do.
    I think that this is not normal and I am sure that this doesn't have to do with the case that it needs format because of the so many programms.I don't think that I have so many anyway.
    I have seen that in the device manager in the ide ata/atapi controllers on the primary ide channel,on device 0 although I have chosen transfer mode dma if available it has current transfer mode pio mode.
    Do you think that i have to change somehow this or have you got any other idea of what my problem is?

    Need a whole lot more information!

    What make and model is the drive?
    What windows are you using?
    What motherboard make and model?
    How long has this been happening?
    Never, ever approach a computer saying or even thinking "I will just do this quickly."
