Computer going slow? Heres some tips! - LolPirate - 2008-07-07
Hello there!
Before i got my new laptop i constantly lagged and it would anger me.
xD
Heres some of the stuff i regularly do to ensure I dont get a slow
laptop.
To begin with
First of all go here to download CCleaner
http://www.ccleaner.com/
Then open it and it will bring up a list of various items on your
computer. Check the ones you want gone and once your done click
analyze. It should bring up a list of many files. Look through them to
make sure you arnt deleting anything important. Click Run cleaner and
it will begin cleaning.
Moving on
Now your computer has come with a disk cleanup already installed.
You can find it by clicking start (xp) or the orb (vista)then go to
accessories and click system tools and it should be there. Open it and
click the "C" drive. Tick all the boxes and click Ok. This WONT delete
any text files/pictures.
Disk Defrag time!
Well computers also come with a disk defragmenter installed also. You
can find it in the same place as the Disk Cleanup. But mine doesnt
work for some reason so i use Auslogics disk defrag which you can
get here
http://www.auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download Open it click Ok on the "C" drive and just wait for it to
finish. Once its done click Ok and your finished defragmenting.o
Hot Laptop?
Im not clear on this but ive noticed when my laptop gets hot it tends to
slow down. For laptop users you might want to get a laptop cooler or
jus shut the computer off for a bit xD.
Ill post more tips later

You should polish that up. Looks like you copy/pasted from somewhere as those endlines are wrong.

Windows XP defragger sucks. Avoid it.

[COLOR="Indigo"]@above--at the least for Windows XP (and earlier versions), the drive SHOULD still be defragmented on a regular basis. Any suggestions for what someone could use? Or do you agree with the OP for what to use instead?

Perfect Disk, Diskeeper and O&O Defrag are considered to be the best software for defragging your system.
