Reformat and now eveything is super slow

[Dimzamatic]

So i reformated and now everything is running super slow. When i got to save a image from a website it just lags out and freezes and i have to terminate the window. Even when i got to bring up the process window with ctrl-shift-escape it freezes when trying to load. I am not understanding why.

Please help.

I am running a gateway fx laptop with 4g ddr3, 500g hitachi, nvidia 9800m gts, and a dual core at 2.3ghz.

Have you installed the graphics driver?

[Dimzamatic]

No because when I run yast and type in Nvidia for a search nothing comes up.

This may also be of some help to you: Configuring graphics cards.

Hope that helps!

No such Luck. Second invite this week. I had one to Antigua the other day.

Okay so I just re-installed.

Now yast isn't working and the auto update feature reads

DBus error : Unable to get transaction id from packagekit.

[caf4926]

Quit the auto updater and opt not to start it at boot
reboot

Open a terminal and go su

then do;

zypper ref

then

zypper up

Okay that is dling now.

How do i resolve yast freezing though? I still need to get my nvidia drivers (The link you sent failed when i tried to dl the pack for 11.1) and a driver to player embedded divx players.
