I just bought it about 2 weeks ago so I'm guessing a year? Hell I don't know! I'm so computer stupid. :grin:
oooff... try and return it and do the steps! Then with the 70 bucks you get back go get your self a nice bottle of wine :up:
Hmmmm, wine. <drool> Thanks, I'll try but it was a down load renewal. It never worked from day one. I'm going to see what I can do. Thanks Dude.
On the defragging... Do both the Presario_RP(D: and Presario(C:...(I can't close the parenthesis because TGG puts it as a smiley, lol.) ?
RP is the restore files if im not mistaken... just do the C drive. Right click the RP one and let me know the size.
I don't know anything about computers so i'm just going to type what I see... File System - FAT32 Capacity - 3.18 GB Free Space - 569 MB % Free Space - 17% Right clicking I get "Analyze" option and "Defragment" option.
I just got Norton Systemworks Premier 2007 and it works fine on my machine. I got the discs though instead of doing a download. I've found it prudent to always order the disc even if you do a download if a physical disc is available for shipment. Wish I had did that with Roxio MediaSuite 9... :sad:
Wow. You're not working with alot of space are you.. I would seriously consider a bigger Hard Drive...Waaay bigger...
Thank you very much...besides the virus protection (I have a subscription through the school...I did everything.
Bad idea. It's not just people that download dodgy files that need to scan their computes for malware. Anyone who uses the Internet needs to. A lot of sites will add tracking cookies to your computer if you visit them (espn.com, for example). Spyware Blaster is definitely recommended because it blocks a lot of malware and it doesn't run in the background (meaning it uses 0 RAM). I would also use a scanning program like Ad-Aware SE. Spybot S & D and Windows Defender are other good anti-spyware applications. Personally, I use all four of the ones I mentioned (along with Windows OneCare for antivirus purposes).
If you already have Norton, I'd keep using it. The main drawback to Norton is that it's a system hog, but if you have the RAM for it, it's fine. My father likes Norton. He gets it free, though. CompUSA and other places have rebates pretty often where you can buy Norton and get it free after the mail-in rebate.
You and your big, fat memory :lol: I'm still running 256mb, its a crash waiting to happen. FreeRam works wonders for me, but not when its constantly freeing up all available RAM. At 20%, I don't even notice when it frees up space, and it uses up a lot less mbs while running, for some reason.
Green Dude...question..I ran the programs and the system definitely runs faster when I run it. Question, do I need to run these programs separately for each user, because when my wife logs on, under her user partition, it seems there is no difference. And I noticed her URLS history and deleted files bin was not cleaned out.
Do everything minus the defrag. I think AVG would pick up any virus regardless the user as well but it wouldn't hurt to run it too.
Def if you have 512 and below do what hiker said in the beginning. Time to get out of the stone age there hiker :grin:
