I have a 2 year old dell laptop (inspiron 8000, 848 MHz
512mb of memory). I upgraded from Windows ME to XP about a
year ago. I reformated my hard drive and did a clean
install. I have a 20 gig hard drive about 60% full. It
seems to be getting slower. I gefrag about once a month
and use Norton system works to help keep it in shape. Is
there anything i can do to clean up and get rid
junk/duplicate file (and how to tell the diference)or just
crap hanging around. I am by no means a computer Know it
all and most of the time i just mess things up so simple
soultions or programs are best for me. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
THANKS
 
How often do you do a diskclean? Do you do a registry clean? Have you tried
shutting down virus scanning programs? Did you take unnecessary items from
your startup?
