Wife has Dell 4100 laptop running Win Pro 2000. Very slow, drive grinds away
constantly. Tried clearing virtual memory by: Turning off VM, closed all
programs, defraged drive. Set VM to 150% of RAM.

Worked for 2 weeks and now its back to slow and grinding again. Shes got 256
MB of RAM. Using only 5GB of 20GB HD.

Ran spyware, registry tune up and other optimizer programs. Company she
works for does not provide real tech support or Nortons.

Suggestions?

Try a third party defragmenter - Diskeeper, PerfectDisk, etc.
