mad_gavo Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Recently my computer has become very slow. Such as when starting up and opening programs. I have also been unable to watch vids that i have downloaded because of them been all jerky etc. I have tried all of the things that i thought would help but none of them have. I have tried: Dfragmenting HD Scanning and removeing Spyware and viruses Deleting unecerserry files Anyone got any suggestions as i dont think that it is too full as i have a 80 gig HD and its only 43gig full Any suggestions greatly appricated ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 If you can do it easily, re-format. It works wonders. I'm lucky as i can send all my files onto another computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 Reformatting is the best way to improve performance ;) Next time just partion your disk into a documents and a programs drive that way when you reinstall windows theres barely anything to backup :P I'm lucky as i can send all my files onto another computer. ← I wouldnt fancy sending my 130gb worth of documents to another pc just to reinstall windows :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
