Can I remove these?

I went into my computer and see the following:

PerfLog
Program Files
Symbols
Temp
Users
wamp
Windows

Can I remove Symbols and wamp?

 

[Dom]

This is hard to know, as we have no idea what is installed on your system. Could you give us a list of installed programs?

Hello cgrim29588.


If you do the odds are good you'll disable your PC, why are you concerned with that anyway?

 

[Dom]

I expect he's trying to free some disk space...

 

[cgrim29588]

Yes trying to recover some space.

Here is what I have installed:

Yes trying to recover some space.

No they're relatively important, and why did you install 7 on such specs?

 

[cgrim29588]

What do you mean? I'm have 21.7GB of 38.2GB free

 

[Frostmourne]

What do you mean? I'm have 21.7GB of 38.2GB free

DDR memory? 1GB? Via chipset? 1024x768 resolution? Is 7 running smoothly?

 

[cgrim29588]

Yeah but it seems to open some programs slowly.

You need to install your VGA driver and your monitor driver

 

[Wishmaster]

disabling the hiberfile will give you some extra space if you do not hiberbate, and is safe to do.

Open CMD Prompt and type:

powercfg -h off

With your specs Id leave the PF alone


to turn the hiberfile back on if you want to later same command but:
powercfg -h on

You need to install your VGA driver and your monitor driver

How do I do that?

 

[cgrim29588]

Bump!

 

[Dom]

Type in the start menu search

device manager

and press enter. Find 'Display adapter'. Open by pressing the '+' button, and double click on the device listed.
On the window that pops up, click on the 'Drivers' tab. Find 'Update driver'.
Repeat for the 'Monitor' device.

 

[cgrim29588]

I did and it says the following:

The best driver software for your device is already installed
Windows had determined the driver software for your device is up to date

Standard VGA Graphics Adapter

and....

Generic PnP Monitor

Frostmourne was right, the reason your system is so slow is due to the fact you've got the bare minimum requirements to run Windows 7. A hard drive the capacity of around 40 gbs (and under) is not recommended, which in your case you are just under.
And its no wonder you are trying to recover space you can't - the drive is too small.
I think you have two options - go back to XP, or buy a new computer with headroom to run Windows 7.

 

[cgrim29588]

Couldn't I just buy like a new HD, ram, graphic card Etc? What are the recommended requirements for Windows 7? Why would I go to back to XP when I spend money to buy Windows 7?

 

[Dom]

OOps, i thought you were using a laptop.
I might need some more help on telling you what to buy if you need it...
You'll need extra RAM, another CPU (if possible) and of course another HDD.
We won't force you to spend stuff, we won't bite.

You could, but your specs are a little confusing which makes it difficult to offer any real recommendations.

Is this your machine by any chance? Or at least very similar?

If so, you're upgrade options are rather limited to be honest.

You could add a larger hard drive or perhaps an AGP video card as well, but you won't be able to upgrade your RAM past 1GB.

What are the recommended requirements for Windows 7?

LilDomii-No I have a desktop sorry should have said that. Why would I want another CPU? I plan on buying a new HDD and a new Graphics Card

smarteyeball- Yes that is the exact one I have. I'm planning on upgrading the HDD and Graphics Card should I be able to upgrade those with no problems? Will I be fine not upgrading the RAM? Thanks for the link.
