No but seriously, your problem is more than likely your antivirus..... AV is the single biggest cause of PC slowdowns. I mean.... look at it this way, your PC has to open and virus scan every single file before you use that file. When you open for example Internet Explorer, there are thousands of small files attached to it and each one has to be virus scanned!!“I may not agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to make an a** of yourself.”

:rotfl::rotfl:LOL thanks
yes that sounds right though, what anti virus do you think is best???
my prefererence is free 0 -
do you mean this/
i have 15g GB free
ive used 16.8 GB
of 142 GB
Is that RAM?
No, that is hard disk space. RAM is working memory. If you look on the General tab as advised it will state something like '512MB RAM'.
BTW you should have plenty of disk space if you have only used 16.8GB, that's only about 12% full. But if you only have 15GB left then you have a problem, as your hard disk is 90% full-it won't operate properly once you get beyond about 85% full. So which is it?No free lunch, and no free laptop0 -
oooops meant 125 gb free0
