Rob Posted February 24, 2007 Share Posted February 24, 2007 Can anyone offer any advice on how I can over come my pc problems? Had my current computer a few years now. Its great but over the last 4 months or so its getting slower and slower and even starting to freeze up. Can anyone talk me through what I could do to get rid of any junk files to make things run more smoothly? Someone mentioned Defragging to me??? Which I admit ive never in all this time ever done, so how? Appreciate any help fella's. Trade Member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A defrag is easy enough, best way is to use your help files to see an example of how to do it. Or go Start all programmes, system tools disk defrag. doing both of the above should see a vast improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
