Hi

My computer has been taking alot longer than usual to load windows.

I think it needs a good clean out but im not sure how.

I dont want to have to reinstall new OS but im thinking i might have to to start a fresh.

Any help would be much appretiated!

Im a bit of a novice when it comes to computers...not my thing.

Thanks so much!

Then defrag your harddisk and run scandisk

Those three things will address much of your problems...if not, then return to this forum and we'll take a look

Hi again

I followed all advice given, however the old computer still isnt improving.

What else can you suggest? I'll post a HJT log for you to have a look at.

Thanks again!

Did you go through all the steps listed in this thread ?

Before running Hijackthis, If you have anything disabled by MSConfig or any other startup manager, please re-enable it before scanning and then post the log.

Apologize if you have gone through all the steps. Just thought I would mention.
