Slow Computer

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Have DSL here at office anf puter getting slower by the month despite good signal strength--

--any good programs to clean up hard drive--used to have one long ago for windows 95 that worked well--but have none since going to new windows.

Have downloaded CCleaner on someones suggestion here but either I don't know how to run it correctly or it hasn't helped.

I don't mind paying for program if it works--any suggestions from the experts?

Have you tried the simple spyware cleanes and such?

AdAware is the first thing I always try and it usually helps.

Defragment the drive recently?

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Yep Did the adware thing
--ran systems check--PLENTY of space available and don't need defraged.

Start by deleting all your bookmarks to conservative blogs, followed by closing your streaming Fox News Network Window.

Hope that helps... :kiss:

Good one Chad--only thing I got running is Masters leaderboard.

P.S. didn't know there were conservative blogs.
Proof?-- run search on any political topic and see what pulls up.

Weird. I just googled 'conservative blogs' and it returned 3,650,000 results. Give it a try, Wayne, maybe you're running a different version of google than me. :shrug:

I think Wayne is using the same Google software that G-Dub uses...

"THE Google."

On a related note, Wayne, my computer is a tad slower today along with you with the Masters leaderboard. Looks like Ernie is having his troubles, still.

re-set your router.

turn it off for five minutes...unplug...reboot

if cccleaner, adaware, and spbyot aren't working, this might help.

You might have a few of the internets running. turn a few of them off.

Sorry to hit you with poly-stuff in your quest for info, Wayne. Are you having trouble with your computer running slow - other software programs - or just your Internet running slow? Presuming you are running a router (as BDB mentioned) with access elsewhere in the facility?

If you've done all the clean-out stuff, it's likely a server or router issue. You could *maybe* try going to the very bottom of the lower right side of your screen where the little computers icon is for your connection. Right click on that and hit "repair'. I know I've had to do that with my wireless connection a few times.

Here's a couple lists of conservative blogs for you to look through:

Thanks BDB

The unplug did it---in past have only had to go upstairs and reboot guys computer next to router and it would solve prob--however didn't work yesterday. Unplugged router this morning and firing on all cylinders.
