Windows is running really Slow

[Guest todd]

Need some help.

 

I have a newer computer running windows 2003 stand. ed. with exchange

server 2007 and acting as a web server. The computer ran great for 6 months.

Did not change anything.

 

Now the computer runs great for about 15 mins to an hour from boot up. Than

gets real slow (really Unresponsive) than speeds up for a little than slow,

fast, slow.

 

anythoughts on what it could be?

 

if you need more info let me know

 

thanks

When you look in the task manager, which task is taking all the time?

Todd,

 

Is this machine on SP1 or SP1? If on SP2, there are some memory leaks

that could be causing this performance degradation. Some hotfixes

post-SP1 & SP2 have been released that may address this if they are in

fact memory leaks. How is disk performance?

A little offtrack, but Todd aren't you concerned about security with an

external webserver on the same computer as your exchange email system? Or

perhaps the webserver is just for your intranet?
