I think I am starting to have some serious issues with my laptop.
It is a Presario 700 with XP. I recently updated service pak for IE 6.0.2, etc. Here are a couple of the issues.
1) When I analyze to see if I should defrag, It says I do not need to. I have about 50% of the drive being used. I tried to defrag anyway because it seems slower. It got stuck at the 41% mark and froze up.
2) Here on outfront, if try to view a post that has lots of replies, lets say 15 or more, it will not come up. A message eventually comes up that says it cannot open file, operation aborted. But If I click a post of lets say only 2 replies on it, it will come up.
So I guess I hope only a few of you will reply.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
TomH

Check these:

IE cache deleted? Too much junk will slow you down.
Startup? Do you have 87 programs in startup? Cut startup down to the bare bones. There was a similar problem reported to a Help Desk tech, He tried everything and then found out that the caller had put everything in startup!

I probably don't need to say this but I'm referring to STARTUP not Start Menu.

You could also try increasing RAM to 256 or better but a good cleaning of the startup folder may be what you need.

Do a search in Explorer for all files *.tmp and delete them. Some won't as they're in use but the rest will. You'd be amazed how many accumulate.

Don't forget to clear your recycle bin too
