It takes 5 minutes to start up, and in the past 30 minutes, I've logged out twice due to Failure to a program (at least!)
Wish I could, but I can't.xeladude said:do a nice sweep and uninstall a bunch of fonts and programs.

No It wouldn't but It would clear it up and make it look more organized because if her computer is so slow with all of that junk it must be a mess.bdubs2594 said:#Garrett said:Use folders.
I don't think that would help much =l
Defragment your hard drive and run Disk Cleanup. Should be somewhere in the start menu. It greatly improves your system's performance. Also, if you have Vista, and an empty flash drive, plug the flash drive into your computer and you can convert it's space to pure virtual RAM which sometimes helps. It's called Ready Boost or something like that. A nice 4GB Flash Drive can convert about 3.6 of it's GB into virtual RAM.
Organizing files doesn't improve performance. Uninstalling and removing files does. Removing some programs that startup when the computer boots can help decrease startup time.#Garrett said:No It wouldn't but It would clear it up and make it look more organized because if her computer is so slow with all of that junk it must be a mess.bdubs2594 said:#Garrett said:Use folders.
