Why is it not my multitasking computer? Is - this Windows 7, Office 2010, Kaspersky?

Here is the scenario...

I have Notepad. EXE is open.
I click the icon of MS Word 2010 to open it & the projection of "loading" screen opens.
Until the word is fully loaded and initialized, I don't and then close Notepad.
In fact, it seems that my computer gets little froze up.

I thought that one of the features and benefits of a modern operating system were "multitasking".
I vaguely remember being able to do this under Windows 98SE, 2000, XP, and Office 2003 completely new to Office 95 (don't remember with Win 3.1 and Office 2.0).
However, this has been the normal behavior on this system (Windows 7, Office 2010, SONY VAIO i3 w/2 GB of RAM, Kaspersky Internet Security 2012) since the first day.

What gives?
Computers don't multitasking no more?
Is it the fault of Office 2010, Windows 7, Kaspersky Internet Security?

Have you tried to disable Kaspersky? Kaspersky is well known for hanging systems, as well as Norton and McAfee. Part of it has to do with the 'package' of tools
that sucks resources when running in the background.

Microsoft Security Essentials has become very popular. I always use Avast, which is the user-friendly resource.

Another thing that often slows down machines when the TEMP folder is too full.
Run Disk Cleanup Windows occasionally, or for a big cleanup using CCleaner.
Do not use if the registry CCleaner cleaner (or any other registry "cleaners"). Registry cleaners are not really necessary on modern systems.
Alternatively, you can manually delete the files in the TEMP folder. Go to your folder of user name > AppData > Local > TEMP and delete the batch. It will not remove files that are still in use.

    Why Vista WMP can't play .asf files and why MS has not created a fix for this?

    Hi pdaamckechnie,

    The ASF Format (Advanced Systems) is the preferred Windows Media file format. With Windows Media Player, if the appropriate codecs are installed on your computer, you can play audio content, video content, or both, that is compressed with a wide variety of codecs and that is stored in an .asf file.

  • My eMachine has Windows 7, but I just downloaded Windows 10, why is it not working, or is compatible with Windows 7?

    I am trying to download a Microsoft Windows for my e-Macine that came with Windows 7. Windows 10 has been downloaded but does not work, what can I do?

    There is no such thing as Windows 10, you need to refer to Microsoft Office 2010, which is a separate product for Microsoft Windows 7, developed by Microsoft Corp.

    If you have downloaded Office 2010, its probably in the trigger for race format, which means, the machine must be connected to the Internet to install the suite he performed in the background.

  • Why can I not see the files in my Windows Explorer document library?

    I saved several PDF files in a folder in my library of documents, but I can't seen from Windows Explorer.  When I go to save another file, I can see the previous ones I saved from the browser to 'Rescue', but I don't see them anywhere else.  Why not?

    The padlock icon means that the files are not shared with others.  If you right click on the folder and choose "Share with" menu, you can remove the lock (but doing so allows anyone on your network to see your files).

    Regarding files jpeg appears not, have you tried pressing F5 to force the file to refresh?
    If this does not work, please respond and let me know.  It could be that the files are not saved to your documents, but in fact a system such as "C:\Program Files\Ancentry\" folder.
  • Can not get my computer "Sleep" more (Windows 7 Home Premium - 32-bit)

    It seems it's going in mode 'sleep' he has in the past, but after 3 or 4 seconds, I hear the fan surge to life (as it sounds when first activate you it using the power button) and I'm now using full power. I did not install anything differently EXCEPT a new graphics about two weeks ago. The card has its own fan attached, but there is no sound I would say. The 'surge' fan I hear the ol fan ' ordinary which is original equipment. But since I noticed the problem of "lack of sleep" around the same time installing the card, I can't help thinking that there is a relationship.

    (Also, I put to upgrade Vista to 7 a few months ago, and sleep (and everything else) has worked very well until this recent glitch.)
    So, is it some sort of setting I should be check or change or something? Thanks in advance for any help with this.

  • Why are images on my warped computer so this isn't on other computers?

    Example image:http://images.wikia.com/smurfs/images/d/dd/Movie_Clumsy.png
    It's one of the images that appears 'distorted' on my computer screen. If by "distorted", I mean that the colors are a little against nature and escape... a bit like a painting of some sort...
    All of my computer equipment are working properly, and my screen does not show the distorted images with the exception of a few pictures like that given the example at the top.
    I have also updated my NVIDIA driver to the latest version and reinstall even just to be safe!
    I'm not sure about this but... I think that only PNG formats are distorted... but that is still uncertain...

    Anyway, please help! Thank you!

    I discovered that my web provider is Compress images on the net for faster browsing.
    And to view and download web images successfully, I found an alternative.
    I just download an add-on for Firefox's "User Agent Switcher" and had to "Googlebot 2.1".» After that all the images that were wrong on the net were right.
