    Hi everyone,

    Lately my laptop is terribly slow, a lot more than before. I mean I am looking at photos and to delete one, from hitting the "delete" button to the screen confirming the delete appearing it can be over 2 seconds I kid you not. This never used to happen. So I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, intel core 2 duo, cpu t7250@2ghz, 2gb ram, and I am running windows vista home premium. Short of installing Ubuntu, does anybody know what do I need to know to speed up things? I work with pictures a lot and it is driving me crazy. Thanks in advance.

    Btw can I just add that I do not know much about computer so any explanations on what to do will have to be fool-proof. Thanks again.

    Short of getting more ram, I'd have to agree with Alan I'm afraid.

    Reformat the system, re-install Vista from scratch. :cool:
