Re: Computer Is Slow Help
Try doing a clean-up first - Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Clean Up - delete all unnecessary files, then run the Disk Defragmenter from the same menu. This should help a bit!

Re: Computer Is Slow Help
Have you got an up to date anti-virus? Mine updates on a regular basis. Sometimes if it's out of date you can miss a recent virus.
How about spyware check too?

Re: Computer Is Slow Help
I dont like the defrag on this computer, just a box with nothing going on, much prefer the old one with the little squares dancing about, or even my other comps which have bars and lines.

Re: Computer Is Slow Help
Linux is the way to avoid it.
right click a drive in windows explorer and go to tools from there. |
