We are now on the homeward journey - I feel sure.

After the cleanup do this please.

1. Advanced system settings please
System protection.
UNCHECK the restore points creation on D Drive.
It is no use having restore points created on that drive as the only content there is the WIndows installation.

2. Run a diskcleanup on C Drive, you may check all boxes.

3. Run this please ensuring that the download goes to C.

TFC only cleans temp folders. TFC will not clean URL history, prefetch, or cookies. Depending on how often someone cleans their temp folders, their system hardware, and how many accounts are present, it can take anywhere from a few seconds to a minute or more. TFC will completely clear all temp files where other temp file cleaners may fail. TFC requires a reboot immediately after running. Be sure to save any unsaved work before running TFC.

I am signing off - back about 1600hrs.

Would you kindly indicate if you have any concerns whatsoever, if ANYTHING does not seem right.

How do YOU feel the computer is performing and is the load of Windows to your satisfaction once you have entered your password etc.

Good night.

Another thing i was having issues with (which i believe is something to do with the system as well) i have tried to install sims 2. it has been successfully installed with the original cd (purchased not burned.) it is on my computer but when i actually try to play it a notification pulls up "Please insert the correct cd-rom" . I have the correct CD in for the game play, i have googled the problem with little results- not sure if you would be able to assist me with this as well. thanks

You already have a thread open on that issue in our software games forum.
I have answered there.


We do not close threads on GeekstoGo, they just disappear in time, so if you have another issue with the computer, the subject of this thread, that does not particularly relate to anything except general issues on Vista, please post back on this one.

Good luck with it.
TFC is excellent I recommend you keep it and use it periodically, perhaps once every two weeks.
It is NOT a program to use daily.

I have replied to your other thread.
Re Sims.

My colleague happyrock, whom I asked if he would kindly take a look, at this thread, as the Dell recovery partition is not normally a boot option, but accessible from the F keys., will reply to his request re Disk Management.

Macboatmaster said it best in post 21 but would you do 1 more screenshot for me...
just on the D drive partition

did you just copy the data from the d drive to the c drive...
if so...
open the c drive and shrink the window to half the size of your screen and move it to the left side of the screen...
then open the d drive and shrink it to half the size and move it to the right side ...once you have both opened get a screenshot
