Question

I have a dell inspiron intel core 13 running windows 7

Dec 12, 2014 5:49PM PST

I don't know why my laptop is running so slow. Hughesnet is my satellite provider and I use wifi for all online stuff. There is one other laptop that occasionally is on my network.

Is it the internet or the PC?

Satellite response time could be one full second. That is, given transit time up and back to the sat a click on a link can make a machine seem slow.

Try this machine at some hot spot that isn't on satellite for a test run. Response times should be better now.

Clear the temporary file like temp, %temp% and prefetch files in your computer. If it is possible install ccleaner in you computer.
