Exclamation Sllloooooowwwww Computer?
Hey,

My computer is really slow, i mean really really slow and booting up and really performing any processes. I don't know whether i should format the drive and also if that would make much of a difference? The specs are in my sig.

Thanks

Format your computer with: Windows XP performance edition.

That'll make your computer as fast as a lightning. It helped me out.

That'll be some dodgy illegal version of a warez site no doubt
I think the OP should ignore on your advice.

Reformatting may well help (it'll get rid of anything cluttering up the system).

Before spending the time backing up files and reformatting though, you may want to do a virus scan and clean your system up with the likes of CCleaner.

Try visiting the following URL for a few things to try that can help speed your PC/Laptop up a bit: http://www.connectedinternet.co.uk/2...up-windows-xp/
