    In the last two weeks my computer (Packard Bell) can take up to 5 minutes to start up. When i bought it first it started very quickly. Is there any way of fixing this?

    Defrag and disk cleanup.

    Although I would check your startup to see what processes you have there.

    (Start - run - startup.msc).

    It might be easier to download and install Ccleaner which will clean junk files, sort your registry and can make changes to the startup process.

    Yes. Yes I do. I'll blame that on the brainfart. :(
