Putty Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Limewire is mistake 1. Double click my computer...right click local disk C:\ and click properties. How much pink space you have? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
87GT Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Uninstall every program you don't use. Go into control panel and click on add/remove programs. Remove it all if it is not used anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cptn janks Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 srsly tho there is a command you can enter and it brings up a list of all the programs that come on when you start your computer. there is probably a bunch of bullshit in there running that you cant even see... i forget what the command is in windows though... someone will know, its something like MSCONFIG or something... i cant remember off the top of my head. that can help.

unfunnyryan Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Basically it runs real shitty and is super slow at times it freezes for about 2-3 mins and geeksquad said i need to empty space. They said its using waaaay too much space with stupid stuff like limewire and others Geeksquad is your first problem. The people that work there are smart for the most part, but their policy is to rob you shitless before ever actually helping you. Right click on C, go to properties. First run a disk cleanup, when that is done go to the Tools tab and defragment. Defragmenting doesn't technically give you more space as much as it moves fragments that were taking up extra space. You can get some reasonable gains from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 That's plenty of space....you just need a tune-up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unfunnyryan Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 58.6GB You have plenty of space free, geek squad was probably talking about memory as in RAM. Adding RAM can help a computer perform faster, but it is not a cure to problems. If your computer uses DDR2 Ram I'd say go for the upgrade since its so cheap to do anyways..

87GT Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 So what all do i need to do? I was told it wasnt always like this Reinstalling windows might fix it. This will delete all data so backup important files before you do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sol740 Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Reinstalling windows might fix it. This will delete all data so backup important files before you do anything. I advise everyone I know to fresh install windows every year or two. If you can, partition off a space for docs, pics, vids(ie porn) and ISO/EXE backups, and a seperate partition just for windows. Makes life a little easier, when windows takes a shit. Which it will. Cause it sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
