Good afternoon RW, Make sure you have the latest sound card drivers. I had similar problems and that took care of it for me. You might consider de-fragmenting your hard drive. This can often improve performance.
Disable any services that are running that you may not really need. A lot of software installs startup hooks in your “Startup” folder or may create registry keys to run certain services at system startup. Use <Ctrl><Shift><Esc> to open “Task manager”. You can then look in the "Startup” tab to see what programs or services are set to automatically startup when your system starts or you login. You can highlight and task. Then use a right-mouse click and choose “disable” to disable that given task. You might want to enable “Show suspended status” under the “View” menu and “Status Values”. So you can tell if a task or service is “Suspended”. That said a machine that is infected with a virus or malware could cause slowdowns. I hope this helps. I have included screen shots for those with low vision and tried to be as descriptive as I could for everyone else. I am still figuring out the short-cuts to better navigate Windows 10. So I apologize for not having complete navigation / keyboard short-cuts yet. > On 2015Aug 20, at 12:39, RW Dupler Jr via Talk <[email protected]> > wrote: > > I had the lock up problem on my windows 7 64 Dell laptop too.

Text the word BLIND to 85944 to donate $10 to the NFB Imagination Fund via your phone bill. The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back. -- 73' & 75' Gregory D.
