Question A Few Questions
Hello all, and thanks for taking a look at my thread! I hope I can get my questions answered! On to the questions then..

Over the last two or so weeks, I have noticed that my Page File meter has been running over 1GB. I'm not exactly sure what this means, but I cant recall it ever being so high. Our Norton '08 license had just ran out, and we bought Norton 360. Thing's slowed down considerably, so we bought the full version of AVG Anti-Virus, but the PF is still high. Also, my internet has been slowing down each day. Would that be from the PF, or could there be a malicious program at work, and if so, what would be the appropriate actions to take?

The next question! When I bought our computer from HP, it was new, and came with a plasma monitor. A couple of weeks ago, the screen just went black. When someone tries to turn it back on, it stays lit for a couple of seconds, then just goes black. Also, it plays no sound out of the built-in speakers. Why would this be, and is there a fix?

Thanks,
Bobathome

Did you uninstall all of Norton? It was a hog on my system. Practically made it unusable. .

Yes, I believe so. I used the Norton 360 uninstaller from the Norton website.
