   Ok. Some information for you.

   Your hard drive, the device where all your information is stored, is like a filing cabinet. Cleaning out old programs has nothing to do with speeding the system up, except in the specific case where the hard drive is completely filled… which is not the case here.

   You should always include either the make and model of your computer, or complete specifications on your computer. This is because including the make and model or the specifications will allow people to examine how fast your computer is and should be, what operating system you have, what problems you are likely to face, etc. For example, if you had purchased a laptop with Windows Vista Basic, and it came with 1gb of Ram… if you had installed games that had system requirements that your computer had barely met, they would have played alright on the system when you first installed them. However, as updates were added to your computer, and more importantly, as Service Packs were added, the system requirements of Windows Vista were increased, making the computer run slower with each major update. In other words, installing Vista SP1 and then Vista SP2 would require increasing the amount of your system Ram and the speed of your processor, just to make your computer run AS FAST as it did before the updates. This also applies to XP, since before the Service Pack 3 update, Windows XP could run on 256mb of Ram, where After SP3, Windows XP alone required a minimum of 308mb of Ram.

   Now, just because your laptop has two slots for Ram and they are both filled, does not mean you cannot upgrade the amount of Ram in your system. For example, you might have 2gb of System Ram in your laptop. That would break down to two 1gb sticks, one in each slot. Your system might support a max of 4gb of System Ram, two 2gb sticks, one in each slot. Of course, I can’t say exactly, because you did not include that information here.

   So, your issues could be related to the specifications of your computer… or they could be related to the operating system you are using. You might have to back up what is important to you, and perform a factory recovery.

   end of line
