If you want all of those programs contact me kiwibeat@hotmail.com and I can send you a copy of all those programs plus some other ones I use myself on one disk.regards gordon |

| 20848 | 2001-10-15 07:50:00 | The programs that Gordon suggests are very good, but I would warn you not to install them all at once! If any problems crop up then you wouldn't know which were the culprits, so do one at a time, leaving several days or plenty of computer time between each. I think maybe your PC needs a good spring clean -- it helps a lot. Delete unused files, programs, etc, defrag, clean out your cookies, temp folder (reduce the amount that the temp internet files holds), history (make sure history is set to hold things for only a couple of days), etc. I have just installed 128mb ram alongside the original 32mb and have been amazed that not only does everything else run faster, but so does my internet stuff. Maybe not the connection itself, but pages open faster and run better. Very good investment in my opinion. Good luck! |
