Dear Somebody.

When I power on my PC running Vista and having a huge engine, the first
approx. 30 minutes something is accessing my harddrive. It sounds as a
program is constan tly reading and or writing to the drive, slowing down the
entire system.
I am using the avast virus protecting, but shut down what I don't need (I
have no virus), the indexing I have also closed, and I am not running the
Sidepanel (closed down a few days ago). Looking at the joblist I can see no
processes using more than 2%, however the disk is used 48% (as shown in the
sidepanel). Does anyone have an idea of what I can do to cure this?
The PC is a Medion bought late last year. It is my first PC with Vista.
Thanks in advance for your help.

"Why is half the world named after a guy I never heard of?"

I have printed out the link and will try some of the suggestions. As one
wrote it really drives me crazy. And by the way I do defrag every second week
or so.
Thank sofr the link.

I will try that. Thanks. It seems I am not the only one with this problem.
