k, it used to be only for this site but now its spread to everything. my comp is running so slow now for some reason. takes forever to load stuff and if i press the back button more than once it freezes. i dont know sheez about computers so if anyone knows how i can speed it up, preferably without spending any cash, that would be a big help. thanks

Defrag the HD. It'll make programs path's and files easier to access and shit. Usually makes a noticable speed-up.

DatGrlyChick: whats that?'
 
how old is the computer... mabye a complete format is in store. For now, just Defrag, also, make sure there arent a lot of stupid backround applications being loadeed at windows startup. Cheeck your taskbar, and if there are a lot of little icons showing up near the clock, you have to disable all the startup features of these programs.

If this stuff doesnt help, then message me and I can walk you through a complete format and OS reinstallation

be prepared for it to take quite some time, leave it going overnight or something to do it. Coz you won't be able to do much while it's going. And ya, Andy knows his shizzy

tell your comp to stop fucking CPU whores behind your bak because its now got a STCV (sexually transmitted computer virus)

Getting caught with your penis up an Elephant's ass is about as much fun as AIDS
 
as computers get older, they just get more and more fucked up... mines a year old and it runs like a piece of shit

'pro - peagna? What the fuck is that?' - my friend looking at my Propaganda DVD (he's not to bright)

nobody's comp is as fucked up as mine, i can't open more than 3 windows before it freezes

if you have assloads of music on your computer, that slows it down like theres no tomorrow. ALL the memory on my computer is being used to store songs, it could not be any slower.

~Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep~
 
:-).. you mean hard disk space. Memory is not used to permanently store things. And technically, its not music, it can be anything. If your hard disk is filled to within like 300MB of capacity, then its probably time to delete stuff. Windows needs hard disk space for something called the page file.

well..then what is the memory used for? whatever you use to store music, we have none of that left, and my computer is slooooow.

~Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep~
 
Memory ( at least i think) is used by the computer while processing things.

my comp is slow as shit . cuz i have 4000 songs on it. even though i bought a seperate hard drive for music its still sucks.

The hard drive (HD) is where you keep stuff. It is on there permently, even when you turn the computer off. It's the thing that makes that noise when you are loading a program or something.

Your memory is a half way house for the data to stay between the hard drive and your computers brain, the CPU.

Have you ever noticed that when you first turn the computer on, and load up say internet explorer, it takes maybe 4 or 5 seconds to load up. Now if you close IE, then load it up again, it loads up within like a second? Thats because the first time round, your computer is getting the IE program from the HD.. which is one of the slowest pieces of machinery on your computer (due to it's physical limitations).

While it's getting IE from the HD, it also loads IE into the memory. So then the next time you goto open IE, it gets it from the memory, rather than the HD.

At the moment, IE is taking up 25 megs of my memory of my computer. I have 256 megs total. So if I close IE and loaded up something thats really memory intensive, like a game or something..then thats going to take IE's place..so if you load up IE aftr playing a game, it'll have to access it from the HD again.

The reason why you want to defrag your disk is cause of it's physical properties. But uhh... yea Ill tell you why if you ask...cause im going to stop this post before it comes a novel.

What gravity?
 
joos...you know way too much about your computer man. all i know is that the music is what makes mine slow. that works for me.

It's witfhes I tell ya! Burn them all!

haha bro that isnt even the tip of the iceberg. I tried to make that as simple as possible.

Spose thats what happens when you study computers at university.

Someone once told me that Celeron brand CPUs overtime get slower and slower and slower until they are unbearable. Im not sure if this is true or not, but it could be your problem.

Good Old English
 
memory is just the idiots word for hard disc space..i use it too

'hold it right there sweeney toad!'

defragging always works for me, though i only remember to do it about once every 6 months or so...

Deny everything, admit nothing, make counter-accusations.
 
I have an 80 gig hard drive and its never been defragged. Does this mean its gonna take a few years to defrag?

'Jeez, he gets more excited over that than playboy'

-My dad talking to my mom after the new Freeze came

'Now I understand why you like skiing so much'

-My dad talking to me a few days later after 'reading' the new freeskier
 
skodeo, it will probably take almost a week, a few days at the least, so do it while you still can.

Deny everything, admit nothing, make counter-accusations.
 
there must not be a lot on your computer if a 30 gig. hard drive took only one night to defrag. mine is 14 gigs and it took almost a day and a half.

Deny everything, admit nothing, make counter-accusations.
 
how do you know what the gig is? does it say somewhere?

~Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep~
 
omfg. 'the gig' *shakes head*

try this.

in windows, go to my computer, than right click the icon for your hard disk and click properties...

a gigabyte 'gig' is a unit of measurement. I'm not going to go into details about it.

ok, im in my computer...and theres lots of diff icons inside the folder...which is the one i want? none of them say hard disk...

-Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep-
 
Ok... heres what you do....

First... you reboot into DOS mode... then, at the command prompt you type 'format c:'.

Then ,answer yes to all the questions it asks.

Then.. when its done... you neeed to turn off your computer. Then take it apart... put it in whatever box it came in... then... go to the closest window you can find. And throw it out the window.

Some people are just not meant for computers.

and some computers just weren't meant for some people... tsk tsk...

DOS mode? you honestly think i know what that is? whatever...ill just get one of my friends to clean it...far less complicated

-Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep-
 
I got a Performa mac with 400 megs of hard drive space. and netscape 3.0 with a 144 modem. don't talk to me bout shitty computers..Im the shitty computer king

-Skiing is like sex...when you're done all you want to do is fall asleep-
 
A) You really don't know your basics. Because seeing how muhc Hard drive space you have remaining is hardly an advanced tactic. B) Skipimp was busting out sarcasm.
