Dave17 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Yes mate, basically what you need to do is reformat your system and reinstall the operating system. Your laptop should have come with what are usually called "recovery disks", which will enable you to do the above, just be sure to backup everything you actually want because formatting the disk erases everything.

Meko Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 1 - do a disk clean up 2 - uninstall any programs you don't use 3 - do a disk defrag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest daz 6576 Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 ok i done that but how do you do a defrag to finish off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meko Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 star > programmes > accessories > system tools the defrag just sticks all the files back in the right place so it doesn't have to jump about all over the disk to find its next bit of information.
