What I did to fix the issue is create a new profile and move my programs and files to the new profile. Everything seems to work but the problem is my computer is now very slow epesially when I am online. In IE7 when I click a link, it pauses for about 6-8 seconds before it even starts thinking. I tried re-installing IE7 but no improvement. I am not sure what to try next but I am considering doing a full backup of files and reinstalling windows completely. Will this even help?? Am I just screwed?? Is there an easier fix that I am overlooking?? I am running a Dell inspiron 1505 laptop with Windows XP an a Centrino Duo processor. 1 gig ram. Any insites would be appreciated. I looked into a registry cleaner but I would hate to spend the and find out that it did nothing to help me.
I had a power failure (on my laptop) and my profile would not load due to a registry issue.?
How can I clean my computer up without formatting it?
Every year I format my computer, just to get it cleaned up.
I already use CCleaner to clean up the computer, and delete unwanted programs, and have deleted restore points. I was wondering if there was another utility or something I could do to make the computer almost new from the factory without formatting and reinstalling Windows.
It’s an XP by the way.
How do I know what version of Windows XP Home Edition I have?
It doesn’t say what year it is when the program starts up. Is there any way to find out? Sorry, Im not so good with computers. Im trying to wipe my computer clean by reinstalling Windows XP home Edition and found an installation disk at work. But when I tried to install it it told me it was an older format and wouldn’t let me install.
Why is my Windows Vista Home Premium so slow.?
I have a custom built pc. It has intel core duo2 4300 @ 1.80GHZ. 1013 megabytes of ram. My windows vista is 64bit.
I have tryed a lot of things to make it faster. Registry cleaner, disk defrag. disk cleanup even formatting my drive n reinstalling windows. I used bitdefender online scanner for viruses and it found nothing.
How can i fix my problem and possibly things that i can do to fix it are free.
Old Dell Computer Crash ?
I was recently given a virtually dead computer: A Dell 233. The owner said it performed worse and worse and just finally became so hopeless he chucked it. Without giving you all the details he gave me a Dell Diagnostics disk, Win 95, 98 and upgrade ME disks and the boot floppies for each but none will install or run. So far all I’ve managed to install is DOS 6. I’ve scanned everything and run all the diagnostics and the only odd thing that shows up is that CHKDSK found a really long, long path name with a final sub directory called FLASH which for some reason I can’t get into (cd command).
Why can’t I get into this final sub directory to see what files are in it?
Is there any forensics-type software out there somewhere that will help me put some life into this old tank?
Formatting and reinstalling Windows means I probably lose a lot of old drivers so I’d rather avoid that… at least for a while. I suspect you’re right about the RTKit.
