Hi all,

I recently had a really anoying virus which would not go away, after 7 days of fighting with it I decided the best course of action would be to format and reinstall win 7.

However now my PC is super slow, I cannot open desktop items, without right clicking and selecting "Run as Admin" and even that is really slow.

If I right click and select "Personalize" it hangs for ages then says "Server Execution Failed".

Anyone have any ideas on how I can fix these issues?

I've used a program called Driver Decective to update my drivers and Windows Updates are fully up to date.


let me know if you need any further info, thanks for helping me

Also if I go to Control Panel select Device Manager it just hangs for about 5 minutes and then nothing happens.

Sounds like you may have a hardware problem, could be either memory or HDD acting up. Any idea what brand your hard drive is?

I also think your pc has hardware problem. you should check your hardware. if you can't find out any problem in your hardware than assure that your motherboard has some problems.
