My computer is still pretty new, but is starting to chug. Is there any good way to clean it up and speed it up. That's other than disk cleanups and defrags.

Well, you could always overclock it, but YOU BETTER HAVE ENOUGH FANS TO COOL IT.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaah, lol I have no idea what that means. I don't want to do anything serious just want a good way to delete all the crap on my computer.

a lot of programs start without you knowing when you start the computer, and use up RAM. this site tells you which ones you need going, and which ones you don't.

Thanks spiff, my system resources are now at about 77% free, and that's with my internet service running. Without the internet running it was 90%. That's a big boost. Anyone have any other ideas.

 

Is there a good free program to stop pop-ups.

i prefer this to a pop up blocker that's always running and can block certain java applets. it scans your hard drive for spyware that gives you pop ups and deletes it.

Wow, that's a great program spiff. I didn't realize how many of those spywares were on my PC. Thanks a lot for the help.

Oh thank you Spiff!!

 

I have Window's XP at home now and I could not figure out which damn start up programs to disable without f'in the thing up!

glad i could be of service

The google toolbar 2.0 is GREAT for popups.

check for temp files and fragmented.

 

check for files that begin with a tilde "~". Delete them all.

PCU was a great movie...

Well I'm bringing this back because my comp is slowing down again and I don't know why. Any new ideas?

This thread is all f***ed up at least on my computer

 

Like for example Spiff (at least it says spiff with his avatar) says

But it has kips sig

 

Should have just made a new one.

 

Run adaware and spybot search and destroy.

 

ALso if you don't have a virus cleaner, Google AVG 6.0. Best free virus cleaner money can't buy.

 

How much RAM do you have?

Now Im really confused, its normal on IE but f***ed up on Mozilla

G5..end of story

G5..end of story

Haha.

 

 

Linux > All... that's the end of the story.

spiff you done great lad. you have improved alot.

 

now if that person wants to go to the start, searc and look in the files for (.tmp, .temp, *.temp and *tmp)

 

everytime you start a computer the memory cache goes somewhere and you need to delete them.

 

the next step if for season veterans, go into the registry and manually clean out the garabage.

Or get a Mac.

 

Just sayin'. Where's FlaSoxxJim when I need him for backup?

 

No viruses or spyware is pimp.

Oh I just saw what was above.

 

Mac's have nice features......even though it isn'e exclusive:

 

iTunes = the s***

Or get a Mac.

Or download Linux for free and install it on your current machine without spending a gazillion dollars for a Mac.

 

Not trying to start anything...

 

NERD WARZ!!!! SOMEONE SET UP US THE BOMB! ALL YOUR BASE r BELONG 2 US!!! MAC BASE INFILTRATED!!!

I bought myself a stable iMac running both9.2 and 10.3 simultaneously with 512 MB of Ram a 40 GB hard drive a printer some paper, a .Mac membership and a surge protector for just over 600.

 

 

I'm happy with my purchase, but I want to get a G5 laptop for college....my grandma's buyin', I think.
