What is your operating system? What programs have you got that you have not changed preferences and they are probably loading at start up? Do you do a clean out every so often?

There is a program called hijackthis (or something like it) that will give you a full report of what is going on with the computer if someone in here can direct you to that link to down load it and copy the results in here then someone can have a look at that aspect also.

I can not remember where you get it from.

Since you did a full system recovery, I'd have to say it's probably hardware...

Jenny:

Look at the sticker on the bottom of that laptop case. Advise what the model number is and what the part/product number is.

If you've done a full system recovery back to original factory specs, you've reloaded all the bloatware and useless crap that came with that laptop, and there's probably too many unnecessary programs auto-loading and running in the background.

What 2 programs are you trying to run at the same time? They may be programs that are system-hungry.

Is that laptop running XP, Vista, or 7?

im running windows vista. After i did the recovery i noticed that it was still acting the same
so i then did the ms config and took out alot of programs that i didnt need at startup i then also uninstalled unnassary programs that i didnt need and its still acting the same.
It seems like it doesnt matter what programs i run i could even open up word pad and itll act slow and dumb.. any help or advice is appreciated.

Considering it has 4 GB of RAM, it may be hardware-related as JohnWill advised.

I'm not there to look at it, so I have no way of knowing what's causing the slowness and lag time.
