How can I completely clean up my computer and still keep my documents/music?

October 6, 2009

I have a 2000 Windows XP – Also, I’m willing to spend some extra money to get this done.

Have you used PC Mantra software to clean up your registry?

why does using my scanner clog up my memory and cause my computer to crash?

When I use my Cannon scanner with my Dell laptop I can scan about 13 images before the computer crashes and won’t allow any more scans.

My standard specs for scanning are:
Tiff file type
300 dpi resolution
output = 8 inches wide
greyscale

I alwaysI have to reboot. I have deleted the temporary internet files and done a disk clean up (Windows XP), but it still will crash.

Are there other settings I can use on the computer so it doesn’t hold on to the temporary files?

Is that what’s making it crash?

Windows XP install wont load past a certain point, can you help me?

Its a laptop, that had some kind of Windows test version, I guess the one right before they came out with Vista, because that’s what it looks like. It says "Windows 2007 Test version only". So I was just gonna get rid of it. I have a New Windows I wanted to load onto it.

It boots alright, starts to load some of the drivers, get to the screen where it asks you if you want to repair press x, install press ENTER.

Before I have the time to press install, the whole thing shuts down.
Every time.

Can you help me?

The stats:
Computer = Compaq Presario V2000
Software = Windows XP Home Edition (not a rip, store bought)
lol Can you explain how to do that innnnnn Simple Terms?

But its also not Vista. Its a Test Version of Windows 2007, that looks and acts like Vista. It says on the bottom of the screen

"Windows 7
For testing purposes only. Build 7000"
Also, the laptop may have a nasty virius from the previous owner. It shuts off if I boot from CD, but also Ive found, if I do disk clean up, the laptop will shut down as well. I think theres something protecting it self. Am I crazy lol

is there a free site to go to clean up your registry and remove junk?
