796193 2009-07-29 22:09:00 they only have norton and it still has over half a year of subscription to go nedkelly (9059)
796194 2009-07-29 22:17:00 HD Defrag

Remove unneccesary startup programs(HJT)

Registry Clean up

Remove Temp files

Make sure System drive has at least 6-10gb free

Malware Scan



And check it has enough RAM.
And then, if it is still as slow as a snail after all that - even in safe mode, it's time to wipe it and do a fresh install from scratch.

796195 2009-07-29 22:40:00 Yeah it has enough ram, yeah think I will do a reinstall soon and hopefully it will go faster nedkelly (9059)
796196 2009-07-29 23:00:00 oh the folder in c:\windows that is taking up 19gb is called installer nedkelly (9059)
796197 2009-07-29 23:37:00 Thats probably all the files relating to the files you've installed. If you delete them you may not be able to uninstall whatever programs Speedy Gonzales (78)

Use this utility to safely clean up that folder:
