It seems to me that most of you are here because you have alot of background junk running, this could be because when you installed it you accidently let it go into your start-up programs.

I suggest downloading CCleaner, as it has a feature that lets you stop programs from launching on start-up.

CCleaner official site: http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner

It also has a program that cleans empty space on your drives, and cleans out cookies, saved passwords, auto-complete, history, and much more, all at your disgression.

Hope I helped,
