Solved Laptop has become very slow

Hi

as I have been called back to work I do not have the time so I tried
the advice at the site below.

Tweaking Optimizing Windows Operating System

It worked 100%, Laptop now perfect.

Cheers

If your RAM is still in good shape, then you should check your hard drive, which is maybe occupied and slow your computer down. Just uninstall some unnecessary service tools, software to see if anything changes

Hi

The drive is half full and has no unnecessary programs or content.

The drive passed all Seatools tests and since drive benchmarks rely so
much on CPU and Ram they tell little, AFAIK.

The disabling of drive search has also been a great boon, I installed Agent Ransack

Agent Ransack Mythicsoft

and my searches are quicker and more accurate, so it's win/win.

Daniel
