  I don't know if this was the problem, but this is what happened yesterday.
  
  I was about to go outside when I accidentally clicked the button on where you can install updates while you "turn off" your pc (its the one that has the power button on Vista). I unplugged my notebook because I was about to go out and thus, the update didn't finish.
  
  When I got back from outside I turned on my pc and left it, I was curious on why it shut off itself again (I thought it's a normal occurence when there's an update going that the system shuts off automatically? I think the update happened at that time and it shut itself down after)...and so I turned it on again and to my surprise my notebook was very slow. The startup took about 5 minutes and my notebook would consistenly lag. I tried going for a virus scan (twice already as of 4 am 6/26/08) and back-up of files (since I do it weekly through live one), and still I'm experiencing this problem. I used to have a start up time of 1 minute.
  
  What seems to be the problem here? I'm willing to do a system rest in case that's the only choice left.
