Some people and computers.. sigh..
I have just as a favour agreed to look at a friends laptop as he could not complete the install of photoshop and says the machine is very slow...
Apon looking into it i just remembered some people are completely computer illiterate and had a little giggle to myself wondering just how many badly setup machines there are out there.
The laptop is a sony vaio with a 1.6ghz celeron, 512mb ram, and a radeon mobility 9200, not bad i thought until i noticed the poor speed of the machine, about five times slower than my similar laptop...
They have a 60gb drive in two 30gb partions, with one partion full (like 1gb left), and the other totally unused... why?????????????????? anyway that is problem one solved... can't install ps in 1gb of space.. and the drive being this full is probably the main cause of the speed problems, i haven't even looked to see where the page file is pointing but it can't be the empty drive LOL.....
Then i looked in the add/remove programs, and omg, i have never seen so much CR@P in all my life, multiple versions of random applications, about a million unknown apps in startup...
I am truely shocked at this... maybe its just me but wtf...
And ewwww it has norton on it....
It will be less time consuming to just start again...
Anyway rant over but seriously, i wish people would take better care of there pcs :)
