30555	2002-01-10 04:29:00	Ummm Going first up for a reformat & reinstall is overkill really in my opinion and it can be quite a time consuming ordeal for the inexperienced. I'd go for the scan disk, defrag and close of unnecessary programs first before doing a demolition job Wayne. Just make sure you run scandisk and defrag in safe mode. You could also clean any rubbish off your hard disk and uninstall any unwanted programs. Just make sure you back up your data before you start. You didn't say what your OS is but I assume it is one of the Win98 family. I have a box on Win98 that hasn't needed a reinstall in a couple of years & still runs clean and fast, but then I don't download much in the way of free or shareware etc or load/play games. Don't kill the elephant when all you really need is a snack! Cheers Billy 8-{)	Guest (0)
