    WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO TO SPEED UP A COMPUTER.....(DEFRAG, TEMPS, CACHE, etc.....

    My laptop is dragging ass. I ran all of the spyware/anti-virus etc....defraged, delete the temp internet files, history, and slapped it around a few times but it still crawls. It's a AMD64/512/ATI9600, etc...it does have a lot of programs, adobe photoshops/premieres/pinnacles...is there anything else simple I can do to get it back up to speed or am I screwed

    input appreciated-

            run evidence eliminator. seriously, it cleans out so much junk.

            Also, have you ran regclean? might be a lot of old shit loading from your registry that's hogging up the system.

            I did those two things the other night and it set back the clock (metaphorically speaking) by a few months speed wise. The system is a bit fresher.

                            doubtful you will have to defrag, or if defrag would do much good (assuming you run xp). to me, it either sounds like spyware, malware or a virus. to me, there is something that is definately hogging system resources... just use ctrl+alt+del and check the running processes that looks like something (besides explorer.exe) that is hogging up oogles of memory and resources

                            goodluck!

                                Every 3 months? That's pretty quick.

                                    I would use Lavasoft Adaware.
                                    Its free, and you can download it from www.download.com
                                    It gets rid of all the trash you have on your PC.
