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!

thats in your start menu bernie.... bottom (your) left.. click on that, then on programs from that list, then accessories, then system tools, then disk clean up.. then do it all again and choose disk fragmenter instead of disk clean up.

Re: Computer Is Slow Help

This may sound a bit dumb but have you run an anti-virus check?

Re: Computer Is Slow Help

Thank you ladies, knew I should have taken more notice when Ianto was telling me what to do. Done a disk clean and now it is defragmenting. No virus present thank goodness

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 Sometimes if it's out of date you can miss a recent virus.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. :D

right click a drive in windows explorer and go to tools from there.
