What can I do to make my windows run better?

It just seems to have gotten laggy with age.

What do you all reccomend doing to fix it.

Thanks,
Jim

The easiest thing to do is completely re-install the OS Jimerson. If that isn't an option you should follow this: http://cbttechs.com/forums/t354-get-...rk-better.html
and then take a look through Tyler's guide: http://cbttechs.com/forums/t758-ulti...ce-thread.html
for some great performance advice

I have read thoose. And performed most of thoose tasks. I just have alot of info scattered on this hard-drive and do not wish to part with it.

Thanks for the tips.

Have you tried defragmenting it? Possibly making CD backups of the info you want to keep but don't use that often will clear up a lot of HD space, thus making the search time less.

You may have some spyware slowing it down.
