Dick Quickwood Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 possibly you need more RAM ? my computer has been slow the last few months, and i remember it said something about ram. also something about virtual memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fatbastard Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 do you visit many porn sites? i ask this because porn sites put all sorts of monitoring programs on your computer without you even realising, these and various other programs load in the background, which may be one of several factors causing your computer to go slow. what i recommend is that you put all your data on to a CD and then re-install windoes, if your laptop is an older version dont install XP, but rather 98.

When Posted September 30, 2003 Author Share Posted September 30, 2003 i dont look at the porn much i was thinking of clearing everything and reinstalling windows but i dont have a cd burner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatbastard Posted September 30, 2003 Share Posted September 30, 2003 Originally posted by When i dont have a cd burner do you have that much stuff on your hardrive? if its all basically pictures and text documents (you said you dont run many programs) you could put them in a folder, open up a web based email account and send everything to that address fill it right up then wait till you go to someones house who does have a burner and do it there. think about it, do you reeeeeally need all that stuff? how long has it been since you lookes at half the stuff?

bigpoppa.k Posted October 1, 2003 Share Posted October 1, 2003 the less space you have on your computer the worse it will run. your operating system needs a certain amount of free space just to run properly, so if you go past that "line" things will start to fuck up a little. if you've got a 10 gig hard drive and you fill it up to 9.9 gigs, try just surfing around your folders and into your harddrive.. shit'll be fucked. especially with 96megs ram. spend the little money it is and get more ram, clean a good chunk of that harddrive out, and run a disk utility program like nortons or techtools or whatever..
