HI all... it has been a while not posting here, but was getting much help from all your replies. This time, I have a few questions, I hope you can answer them. 1) Where should I look on my lap, the root cause of initial LOW performance, everything runs very slow only at the start, let's say.. at noon, performance looks ok to me again. This could be related to the initial programs loading? 2)How can I clean out my registry for broken app installs and tools not being used anymore? 3) (and last question), does defrag really helps to read/write better on hdd and pump up performance? Thanks for any kind of help. Don´t freak out until you know the facts...Relax...!

First, run Disk Cleanup found in the System Tools folder of the Accessories folder. For your registry question, download CCleaner at www.ccleaner.com . It's also a good internet browser cleaner and cleans all your temp files, cookies, history, etc. If Disk Cleanup doesn't help, put in your Windows XP CD and press R for Recovery Console and enter this as a command: chkdsk /p /r

Thanks Deviant, Registry clean wprked as a charm I have also moved the FileSystem to a different drive and computer is working much faster. Have a great day. Don´t freak out until you know the facts...Relax...!
