To tell you the truth, I am frustrated with the "accelerating" programs that you can download from the internet and don’t work or those where it says "free download" and you end up with a screen saying that you need to purchase them.

Do I have a way to speed it up with what I already go in my computer.

I have windows xp professional. Many thanks!!!
I do have DSL
Hey Kudo! Should I delete IE 7?

What is the best and free registry cleaner? And where can I download it?
Many thanks x

The question here is not whether or not I can upgrade XP to Win 7 because I know I need to backup my stuff and do a clean install etc. etc. – BUT can I install the *64-bit* Windows 7 OS even though I’m currently running the 32-bit version of Windows XP.

My processor is compatible.

Many thanks!

So here’s the low down… computer started acting up so I did a virus check with Spy Emergency. Software found three viruses which were deemed a high risk. Repaired infections, computer rebooted, then when it restarted I had the following error…

Windows can not start due to corrupted or missing file…

System32/DRIVERS/pci.sys

Please insert windows disk and select ‘R’ to repair.

Well, needless to say I no longer have my Windows disk because my ex decided to steal a good portion of my computer accessories when we split up, so I am wondering how I should go about repairing my system since I do not have the installation disk, without risking the loss of my files on the computer. I need to get my computer repaired ASAP as I need it for work. Many thanks to all who lend their suggestions!

Okay I know it sounds cheap, but this computer that I’m working on today desparately needs a scan. I’ve tried various programs that only fix half of the problems or none at all. IS THERE a safe registry cleaner that preforms a througough clean?

Many thanks!

I don’t know much about this computer except for that it’s a windows XP
