As a rule, the first thing I do with a new computer is format the hard drive and reinstall from scratch. I am not too familiar with Acer but on Dell laptops there is a whole ton of crap installed and running in the background, most of which isn't required.

When you say it isn't very fast, to what are you comparing it? If you are used to a desktop then pound-for-pound, GHz for Ghz a laptop will generally be much slower for a variety of technical reasons.

Mr Squiddy I too have a Dell its an Inspirion can you point me to what I dont need running on it at start up? Thanks in advance
