Hello my G2G friends and thank you for all that you do. My computer seems to be working fine...other than it drags like nobody's business! I don't get any errors....just alot of freezing. I've done the obvious ATF Cleaner, AVG scan...etc....defrag...just doesn't seem to improve. Also about 6 months ago I purchased an external drive and moved everything I could think of there to free up some space...still..not much improvement...help!

XP user.

There is a lot of information missing from your Everest report.
Your Speedfan looks good so no problem with temps or voltages




Open Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab, and UN-check:


+ "Adobe Reader Speed Launcher"
+ "QuickTime Task"
+ "XeroxRegistation"
+ "Shockwave Updater"





When done restart computer and then:



Download TFC by OldTimer to your desktop

• Please double-click TFC.exe to run it. (Note: If you are running on Vista, right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator).
• It will close all programs when run, so make sure you have saved all your work before you begin.
• Click the Start button to begin the process. Depending on how often you clean temp files, execution time should be anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or two. Let it run uninterrupted to completion.
• Once it's finished it should reboot your machine. If it does not, please manually reboot the machine yourself to ensure a complete clean.

Download Auslogics Defrag from the link in my signature below. Auslogics Defrag in my opinion is better because:

It does a more comprehensive job at Defragging
It will actually show you what it is doing
At the end of working it will show you how much speed you picked up
You can view a online log of the files that Auslogics defragged
Please do not run any other Auslogics programs other then this one as they may cause unwanted results.

Ok did everything...attached is the everest log..hoping you find the info that was missing previously.
Did the Auslogics defrag...couldn't find where the online log was...there was an option to fix all 5K+ errors...but at a $49 price tag...didn't want to purchase if there was another route.

Everest report looks good except the D drive is very low on disk space.

there was an option to fix all 5K+ errors...but at a $49 price tag...didn't want to purchase if there was another route.

Huh there should be nothing for fixing anything except a advertisement to purchase the registry cleaner which you do not want.
Has the speed gotten any faster since completing the previous steps?

[lnijjar]

Ok looks like I just went and did a system scan...not the defrag..just got done with the defrag which I found in another section of the AUSLOGICS program. The D drive I don't even use and have no idea what to remove out of there without screwing something up....gonna reboot real quick and will get back to you on the speed...

[lnijjar]

She's working like a champ again What do I do about the registy errors that the AUSLOGICS program found..is there a free version of something that will take care of those errors?

[rshaffer61]

I'll answer that with this speech we have pertaining to any registry cleaner.

A registry cleaner will not increase your system's speed or performance, and has the potential to break your registry to the point that your PC is no longer bootable.
We strongly advise that people stay away from any of the registry cleaners out there.
Go HERE to get more information about why registry cleaners aren't needed.


Thanks to Sari for the explanation

[lnijjar]

WOrks for me! thank you for the speedy fix!

[rshaffer61]

I would suggest running TFC and Auslogics Defrag at least once a week to keep everything running smoothly. If you add and uninstall programs, games, movies or music a lot then definitely run it once a week.
With that I want to say Congratulations. for a successful resolution for your issue.
