I have already done everything else I can think of to free up disk space: Removed some programs; ran ccleaner; did disk defrag; cleaned up registry errors. If anyone has any other suggestions-I would very much appreciate it. I’m running Windows Vista Home Premium.
O.K. I get it it. I guess it’s time to buy an external hard drive. Thanx to those who answered.
Why is my laptop running so slow and freezing up, online and off?
December 2, 2009
My laptop is running so slow and freezes up all the time. I’ve purchased a malware scan & clean-up and a registry scan & clean-up and neither have worked. I’ve transferred all pictures, music, etc. to my external hard drive and that didn’t help. I’ve tried restoring, no luck. I have windows vista and it won’t let me reformat. Help!! Any advice would be great!
Am I all set for a reformat?
November 26, 2009
Hey everyone. I plan on doing a reformat, but before I get started with that, I am going to put everything I want on to an external hard drive for later retrieval.
(The reason I am doing this is because my computer is getting really slow with loading files, the registry is a mess even though I use CCleaner, Defrag, and virus softwares like norton, malwarebytes.. etc.. and my computer is 7 years old now…)
After I got all my songs, pictures, movies, and whatever else on my external hard drive, I am going to reformat. My computer came with the following CD’s
-Microsoft Works Suite 2003 (Disc 1-5)
-APPLICATION For Reinstalling Dell Tools System Software
-APPLICATION For Installing/Reinstalling Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.2 Basic
-Drivers And Utilities Dell Dimension Resource CD (Contains drives, diagnostics and utilities and computer documentation.)
-OPERATING SYSTEM Reinstallation CD for XP Home Edition SP 1.
-Sound Blaster Live!
-Norton Antivirus
Ahh thanks for reminding me to backup favorites!

How to clean up space on external hard drive?
November 7, 2009
I have an external hard drive, and I guess it’s full so i can’t download anything else on it.
How do I clean it up?
Will simply deleting a file actually work?
What about defragging it?
