          clean up your HDD's ... delete old, unused shit.

          Than do a defrag.

          Should help for the first instance.

            Do this:


            Right click on my computer > Properties > Advanced > Performance >> Settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory > Change

            And make it larger.

            Note: This assumes XP.

                Good! This means that the attack on your computer that I requested is working.

                I paid him to do it until march.

                  install a 2nd hard drive with a new operating system on that hard drive.

                  boot to the clean drive to do your work

                  boot to the other drive to fuck around

                    See the box on the advanced tab that says Performance? Click the settings button there.

                    Anyways. I agree with what many have said here. I'd set your virtual memory to 1024 mb max and minimum. This will lower disk fragmentation, 'cause the swap file won't be changing constantly, and moving other files around.

                    Defrag your computer once a week. Fuck off programs you don't use anymore.

                      Oh, and free space. I always leave a couple of gig on C drive free just to be sure. Anything less than 500 mb free space on your c drive and XP will be a chunky piece of shit.

                          Open Task Manager. Look at the Performance tab. Memory Usage. Is it greater than the amount of RAM in your machine?

                          If it is, you are swapping in and out of virtual memory, a painfully slow process. Add some RAM.
                          it only took one brick to make that window drop

                              Anyone NOT defragging at least weekly deserves to run slow.

                                          Spend some money and buy Norton. Using M$ defrag is a surfer trick. lol

                                            This is true. Clear your cache, do a disk cleanup, and defrag it. Go through the whole damn thing. Then defrag once every couple of weeks. It'll take only a few minutes after the first one.

                                            And don't tell me about "takes forever on large hard drives". I'm running two 80 gig drives and it takes me fifteen minutes to defrag them when I do it on a regular basis.

                                              I've got a 40 gig and a 60 gig drive. As long as i'm doing it weekly, it takes less than an hour. And part of that is my computer waiting for me to come back to tell it to do the next drive while i'm off making tea. It's only because you're not doing it regularly that it is taking that long.
