Winstyles and addition of suite and object dock have slowed my desktop down a lot, taking forever to load programs. Any suggestions on how to speed it up.

What skin are you using in WinStyles, and do you have any docklets running in objectdock?

I am using Matrix Extreme Green by Apoc67 full suite with icons, and a weather docklet. Also, could it be my log on skin or boot skin? Thank you in advance

Have you tried closing out of ObjectDock and all other Stardock stuff, and checked to see how fast stuff runs then?

Also, ctrl-alt-dlt to get into the task manager, then look under the Processes tab and arrange by memory to see whats hogging all the memory.

what the hell is fsg_4104.exe it's taking up so much memory on my comp, never seen it b4. I'll try shutting some processes off and see if it runs quicker.

Did a google search and got this: http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/fsg_4104/

Do you use iMesh? If you do, thats what the problem is.

Its part of iMesh, a file sharing program, so yes: it is a data theft prog.

Er..what laws might that be? Unless I missed something, in principal, there is nothing wrong with sharing files on a peer to peer network or any other system (like here for instance!), only when copyright is being infringed or other laws broken is it a problem.
