Scroll through you programs list you should find something. In my HP its under programs, PC help & tool, recovery disc creation. Look for some thing like that. Once you done that put them up for safe keeping because you can only make one copy and thats it. Next I would suggest that you run every piece of malware, spyware and adware software you have. Then run antivirus software and next run any utility software you have. Then run system defragger and a registry cleaner. Once you do that see where you stand. Then if problem persists then a reformat might be in order. Save any thing you want, once you reformat all is lost. Next suggestion in upgrade your RAM, max it out. 32 bit systems is 4 gig and 64 bit systems are from 8 gigs on up to 64 gigs. Maxing out RAM will help a lot, and if your still using onboard graphics an inexpensive video card would help a lot as well. You do all that and you should have your self a pretty clean and fast machine. Keeping it that way is the key...bi weekly scans of above mentioned software if used heavily or monthly scans if normal use of PC. Other than the physical upgrades that I mentioned there is not much more one can do. Good luck and post back with results of what you have done and what there outcomes were.
