Something is Still Borked...
amileegirl:
I apologize for starting a new thread. I can't find the other one.
I fix one problem and another pops up. I've managed to get my drivers updated, fixed the unseated memory card, and things still aren't quite right.
Once I get to the family house everything is fine, BUT it takes an eternity to load up even when I take out every single hack and CC! That doesn't seem to make sense. I did delete the cache files as suggested (thanks to whomever suggested that.)
Yesterday, I just thought the slowdown was just a problem with having a memory grubbing program open at the same time but I've tried turing everything off and same thing (and I never had this problem before unless my CC folder was busting).

Define "an eternity".
When did you notice the load time slowing down - was it potentially associated with something else you did with your game or your computer recently (i.e. change in antivirus, etc.)?
Is your system in need of a cleanup, defragmenting?
Do you have malware that may be slowing the system down generally?

ETA: Eternity = 20-30 minutes
Sorry, I should have reiterated what went on yesterday!
I just had my motherboard and video card in my laptop replaced because they both went (2005 Inspirion E1705, xp, 2G ram-- though apparantly 1 gig wasn't seated right and I've been using the computer all this time without it). I went from a GEforce 7600 video card to a Radeon x1400 when they made the replacements (I was under warranty for the repairs).
None of the problems I have been having occured until after the computer was repaired. The motherboard and video card issue was very sudden...One day it worked and the next it didn't. When I got te computer back, I was missing drivers for the new components, and the wrong video card driver was installed after the repair...so I just had those fixed yesterday (my system still won't aknowledged its own battery though). I periodically check my system for malware, and clean up temp files, and I had done a registry clean not that long ago, and I have removed viruses before and so things were good before the motherboard went poof.
I have not yet done a defrag (the last one I think I did the Fall of 2008). Thanks for that suggestions, I hadn't thought about it being so annoyed with these other issues.

Fall of 2008? Holy heffalumps. Defrag already. Expect it to take all day.
Are you sure your craptop is actually using your 2 gigs? By that I mean, did you add the memory yourself, or did it ship with it?
A new motherboard is a new computer, keep that in mind.
And I could not find your thread either.
