This might seem like an obvious request.
I have a laptop (fairly dated as you will see by the specs)
It has become progressively slower over the time I have used it since reformatting
XP (through a shop) some 10 months ago.
After the reformat it was lightning fast but has got to such a state of sluggishness
that I am pulling my hair out!
With the economy being what it is buying a new one isn't an option, nor is adding
more RAM
So instead of adding more lanes to the highway to ease traffic congestion, I would
like to make the traffic flow more effecient (if you get the analogy?)
The hard ware I am stuck with is a 1.66 gig Centrino Dual Core Pentium 4 with a 50
gig hard drive which still has 15 gig free and 504 megs of Ram
It used to be fast and I would love to get it back there.
Two clues are that the HD light is almost always on and the system runs fairly hot
and as a result the processor fan is always on.
There seem to be a lot of registry repair/scan software tools out there but as mentioned
before funds are tight.
Now I have reduced everyone to tears/boredom/laughter....
Please can someone help?
