Hi Everybody

I am new to this forum. By chance I found this forum and I think I have found correct place to learn about computers.

I was having few problems in my laptop Windows 7 during fast two weeks.

Windows explorer stopped working
Cannot save files into CD, MP3 and USB
Once log into the computer, it takes nearly 30 minutes to access internet explorer, Opera and Mozilla Fire

Even though I can use internet through above web browsers, once in a way I find computer becomes slow or freeze.

I did following.

Scanned for Malwares
Checked Startup Services Checked Startup Programs Disabled Thumbnail Creation(Placed a check next on the box that says Always show icons, never thumbnails)
But I couldn't complete the System File Checker Scan run as it stopped half way. I did it few occasions without success.

On the Start Menu I typed cmd then right clicked cmd and chose Run As Administrator and typed sfc /scannow and pressed Enter. After that it stopped.In other words it ended as verification 47 completed. Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation.

My Laptop

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
Acer Aspire 5741
X64-based PC

I was trying to do few things during last three days according to various instructions and after that was able to work past on the computer. But I couldn’t solve the problem of savings documents on the CD and USB and taking time to start the computer. Yesterday, I installed MacAfee and did some scan. I also noticed after installation of MacAfee it takes ages to start the computer and showing messages such as windows not responding and do you want to end the process etc. In other word when computer starts, it freezes nearly 20 to 30 minutes. I cannot click any icon and if I click above messages are appearing on the screen. In one occasion when MacAfee disappeared from the task bar all of sudden Internet explorer, Opera and Mozilla Fire started to work fast.

Yesterday and today I waited nearly 30 minutes to start the computer and finally started it using safe mode with networking. I am at the moment trying to solve the main problem of taking time to connect to internet explorer, Opera and Mozilla Fire etc.

I also got the following message when I tried to save a document to USB and and computer started to slow down.

Window explorer has stopped working.

I would much appreciate if anybody can give me some sort of solutions. Thanks and have a nice day!
 
Yes, this is for techs, not end users.

I will give a piece of advice though, get Mcaffee off your system. The computer will practically thank you.

For an alternate site, check out Tomshardware.com They seem geared toward end users and have a lot of forums with active members that can probably be of assistance.
