It's slowed down to a crawl, it literally takes seconds for it to recognise grafitti, sometimes it flashes a blank screen with horizontal lines on it, it crashes ALL the time with memory errors or just random restarting, and when it boots up it takes probably twice to 4x the time that it used to.

Any Idea what might be wrong, and how should I go about fixing it? just backup then hard reset??? or is there some sort of memory fixer program I can run?

Thanks

I would do a backup, but don't reinstall the back up when you do the hard reset. Try installing the programs on at a time. The slow down is probably due to the fact that you have a bad program running, and rinstalling the backup will be of no use to you in that case.

It finely came off the crack....

Well I ran backup all, hotsynched, during the uber-slow hotsynch my computer bluescreened, so I hit the reset button and held up (to do a hard reset... right?) and it just sat there on the startup screen when i held down the button... never went to the hard reset screen. So I released it and hit reset again, it booted up fast this time and it was back running at normal speed! Well that's pretty weird, I wish there was some sort of logical explanation for this.....

Pushing the reset and the up button does not cause a hard reset, I think it's called a "warm reset". Anyway, pushing the reset and holding down the POWER button will cause a message something like push up button to erase all data or something like that. When you push the up button, that'll cause a hard reset, basically wiping your visor clean and back to factory settings.

The slow down in you visor is probably caused by a system program maybe a hack. A warm reset will probably get rid of the problem. If problem is still there, try the hard reset. To see if your visor is running at normal speed, you can download a program called Benchmark at http:///www.quartus.net.
