Thanks for the info on my windows view. My installed programs do not appear, at all in the detailed view, just the windows updates. My system is slowing down, 30 to 45 sec to load any program compared to instant before this problem and it is dual core but fast. I performed a sfc /scannow and received a log Im attaching, cannot open. At the scan end it stated a problem could not be fixed. I have performed 3 separate anti virus and malware scans than indicate clean. Should i just reinstall windows vista or upgrade to windows 7? This is very frustrating, this Dual core 2.4 GHz, 6 GB, 64 bit HP HDX has been fast and reliable.
