okay so i decided to defrag the disk this morning just to see if it would help its been a little while since i have done it. i analyzed the disk with auslogics disk defrag and it says that there are 300+ regisytry errors and 900+ junk files. i downloaded their auslogics boost speed but i would have to purchase the full program to fix everything. is their a free verson of a program that will do the same thing or should i bite the bullet and purchase theirs. ive attached screen shots of both programs scan results. also IE8 seems to be running smoother with the last update you provided which makes work much easier thank you

The Auslogic defrag program is very good and I for one recommend it`s use but steer clear of the so called system performance boosting software, read the blog of respected author miekiemoe here and you will see why not only me but no one else at GTG will suggest the use of such software.

 

Next suggestion is to tidy up the data on your HDD, please follow the directions provided below starting with Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902

 

1: Extract the Autoruns Zip file contents to a folder.

2: Double-click the "Autoruns.exe".

3: Click on the Hide Microsoft and Windows Entries tab

4: Go to File then to Export As or Save in some versions.

5: Save AutoRuns.txt file to known location like your Desktop.

6: Attach to your next reply.

Autoruns Tutorial

 

2nd: Download and run TFC from http://www.geekstogo...er-by-oldtimer/ the computer should automatically re-boot on completion but if not do it manually.

 

3rd: Would have been to defrag the HDD but it has already been done 

 

To speed up your boot times find any unnecessary programs linked to start up "how to" below;

 

START -> RUN

type MSCONFIG in the RUN box

then click OK

 

Click on the start-up TAB

 

Look at each line that has a check in the box, these are start-up items, with the exception of Windows programs and your AV software uncheck the ones you do not want to run at start-up.

 

You are welcome btw

Create a new restore point.

 

Autoruns is not too bad but there are a few things that should be disabled/

X "AVG_UI" "" "" "File not found: C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG2013\avgui.exe" Delete this.

 

Disable the following

All Adobe entries

All Apple/bonjour/ipod/Itunes entries

There are entries that I am not familiar with, do you know what they are.

Update acknowledged and nothing untowards on the list 

 

Please feel free to uninstall any testing software that we have used.

 

I note the uTorrent icon on your desktop, are you aware of the risk of malware infection when downloading torrents, this has always been a problem but with support for XP now ended computers running XP are more likely to become infected as they will be targeted by the bad guys, this is such a concern that it is suggested that computers that are running XP should not be connected to the internet.

okay im still having audio issues. i was looking around and noticed that i no longer have the little volume icon in the task bar. so i went to the audio control clicked add to  task bar and was given a error message. i followed some steps on microsofts website and checked the sndvol32.exe by trying to open it in run programs box and it gave me another error message. according microsofts website they say this file is missing. where can i go about getting this or what do you reccomend i do with it.

Do you have an XP installation disk.

 

Have you applied the emergency update released for IE, it also applies to XP, see here
