Blender suddenly stopped running, SUPER slow now

[asdfghjkzxcvbnmqwertyui]

Hi,

I have asked around on Blender forums, installed old versions, uninstalled them, multiple times, updated drivers, done disk checks...and still Blender is effectively useless. It take about 10 times as long as before to start, and ANY commands put it into a "not responding " state for the next 5 minutes EVERY time.

While it is by far the most effected program (and the one I need the most for work ) many programs are behaving strangely, blinking to the desktop when windows are clicked, and especially dropdown menues immediately closing when I try to change the file types for saving.

I have Bit Defender 2013 and Driver updater, but now I see I have Yontoo ( and uTorrent ) which caused me to find this forum.

My drivers should be completely up to the minute as all I checked were, and Bit Defender say everything is fins, when clearly something is very not fine.

I tried to restore my computer but the oldest restore point is just a week old, so now, honestly can"t think of anything else to do, shy of MANUALLY uninstalling everything back about 2 weeks, which I'm not sure how to do and in the last two weeks would be a LOT of work.

I HAVE TO SOLVE this issue or my computer effectively become a 3 month old $2000 paperweight wrt my most important software by far ( Blender ), but the problem seems to be growing to other programs as indicated by general system blinkiness.

Please help me find a solution.

Thanks,

Tim

Hello,

What -is- Blender ?

What Windows version on this computer ?

Did you make any backups of the system recently?

Have you run a full scan with MBAM? if not, do that. And you should Copy & Paste that log into a new reply.

What antivirus program is installed here? Have you run a Full scan with it?

You can Uninstall uTorrent by going thru Programs and Features or Add-or-Remove Programs (for XP)

press and hold Windows-key then press R key

type in

appwiz.cpl

locate uTorrent

select it by clicking 1 time on the line

then right click and Uninstall (remove)

p.s. If "Blender" is 3D computer graphics software, then you must understand a) I know nothing of it, and b) I cannot help you to run it or to fix it.
