    When I try to open say internet explorer or a word document the pc really is slow doing this.over all bb when opened runs really fast.But opening docs is a pain. I checked my C drive which states I have around 30% free space, I checked the Run the put in msconfig to make sure nothing is starting up in the back ground. Now I do have loads of pictures in My Pictures ,but still I have 30% free space when I check the C drive. any ideas what I can do

    Free Space is one thing but when was the last time you ran a Defragment pass on your Hard Drive? You can find the Defragment tool in the Start menu under Accessories>System Tools; or by going to my computer, right clicking on the drive and selecting Properties.

    Piriform is a fantastic company. You can find their Defraggler tool on the left hand menu of that link, which is also nice and handy.

    edit: looks like their coming out with something new too - Speccy. Nice one!
