Close browsers

I would install something better than windows defender

If those Google programs use indexing, disable the indexing in its options

And defrag if you havent yet

706188 2008-09-18 23:45:00 If defragging my HD doesn't speed things up, am I looking at needing a new microprocessor? ajwhite10 (13469)
706189 2008-09-18 23:47:00 If defragging my HD doesn't speed things up, am I looking at needing a new microprocessor?

More RAM more than likely. How much do you have now?

706190 2008-09-19 00:00:00 Download CCleaner from here (www.ccleaner.com) and run the Cleaner, making sure you ticked all the advanced options. Also, run the Registry cleaner too - repeat this until nothing appears on it (may take a few passes to pick everything up) nofam (9009)
706191 2008-09-19 00:35:00 If defragging my HD doesn't speed things up, am I looking at needing a new microprocessor? ajwhite10 (13469)
706192 2008-09-19 00:40:00 not sure it's a ram issue, as the pc has slowed down. wondering what hardware issues I may looking at, under those circumstances. ajwhite10 (13469)
706193 2008-09-19 01:35:00 How much RAM is installed in your PC?

If you go to the task manager, and select the performance tab, how much RAM are you using?

If you want to check hardware, download the Ultimate Boot CD ISO, burn it to a CD and boot off it, run RAM and HDD diags.

706194 2008-09-19 08:56:00 maybe if I just stare at the thing long enough, the problem will go away. ajwhite10 (13469)
706195 2008-09-19 09:06:00 You could just try answering Wratty's question gary67 (56)
