My computer is suddenly whizzing like it was brand new! It has been so slow, hard to type on with the touchpad not working well, the keyboard so unresponsive I've been wondering what I could do to reset defaults or something. When typing, certain letters just sometimes wouldn't show. It will probably get that way again as the keyboard and touchpad problems happened once before.

I just have DSL - don't think I even have the superfast DSL. I've been getting some type of broadband warning every month or so and have had to do a system reset via the software, sign into the DSL website & click-okay a reset. Soon I was back to being slow on the internet, slow opening programs or even just opening a picture on the Desktop. Yorkietalk typing was getting to be very hard, had to hit the keys really hard and just wait and wait at times for windows to change, Spellcheck or similies to come up or go away. And I do the Windows 7 System Tools Tune-Up daily, sometimes twice a day.

Today, not knowing what else to do before I went to Norton PC Check-Up phone support - I normally just use Sony's VaioCare & the System Tools Tune-Up as I said - I unceremoniously unplugged this thing and unplugged the DSL cord and unplugged the DSL modem's power. I went out with Tibbe and came back in, replugged and waited. Restarted everything and now everything is really fast again. YT is fast, can type really easily.

Does anyone know what happened?
