I woke my machine out of sleep mode this morning to find that everything suddenly took an eternity to load. Everything from opening applications like Word to just opening the Start menu would take 5-10 minutes, if not failing outright. I thought restarting the machine would help with the sluggish hardware performance, but it only gave me a warning that Windows high recomended wanting to try a stability check on the harddrive. After purging and restoring a number of files, windows visa loaded up and dropped me to my desktop but it was still ultra slow. Is my hard drive on it's way out?
That would appear to be the most obvious, given the check Windows ran. Now that I've booted in safe mode with networking however, everything loads blistering fast as always. If the hard drive was the only culprit, wouldn't it still be bogged down, even in safe mode? I have had no problems like this for the months I've had the machine. I can't make sense of this problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
