part two.

next question then guys

my work lap top has un-doubtably become much much slower than before.  it seems to take forever to start up now, and has recently been freezing when opening new programs up, also clicking on the start button sometimes akes ages to respond.

my work lap top is not especially fast, but its never been an issue before.  there is 89gb of free disc space of a total 111gb, so its not over loaded.



with just the windows explorer open the computer is using 900Mb of memory. is there anyway of reducing this it never used to be this high

1st thing, download ccleaner (http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/)

in tools and advanced deselect "temp folders older than 24hours"

run the cleaner tools, selecting as many options as you want

Do the same with the registry tool (make a backup when prompted on the 1st run) you will need to run it several times.

next click start run and type "msconfig" select the startup tab, using http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/startups/ go through and remove the un-needd ones...which will be pretty much all of them apart from AV programs (print screen and send me the list and i will tell you what to leave checked if you want)

once finished select exit without restart

next click start --> run and type cmd (if using vista or win 7 run this as an admin) then type "chkdsk /r /f" and presss enter, then type "y" and enter again and restart your machine.
