[QUOTE="jim lin, post: 323124, member: 2065"] Hello Fiona try this Use CCleaner to Remove Temp Files CCleaner from here and save the installer to your desktop. Close all open internet browser windows Double click on the ccsetup file to start the installation of the program. Select your language and click OK, then click Next. Read the license agreement and click I Agree. Click Next to use the default install location. Click Install then click Finish to complete installation. Double click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program. On the Windows tab, under Internet Explorer, uncheck Cookies if you do not want them deleted. (If deleted, you will likely need to reenter your passwords at all sites where a cookie is used to recognize you when you visit) If you use Firefox or any other Mozilla browsers, the box to uncheck for Cookies is on the Applications tab, under Firefox/Mozilla. Click on the Options icon at the left side of the window, then click on Advanced. uncheck Only delete files in Windows Temp folders older than 24 hours. Click on the Cleaner icon on the left side of the window, then click Run Cleaner to run the program. Caution: It is not recommended that you use the Registry feature unless you are very familiar with the registry as it has been known to find legitimate items for removal, which can cause issues with other programs. After CCleaner has completed its process, click Exit. Configure System Restore in Windows 7 Click on the Start Posted Image button and right-click on Computer and choose Properties Click on System Protection on the left and click Continue if prompted Make certain that the hard drive that Windows is installed on is highlighted in the list (usually C:) and click on Configure... Under Disk Space Usage move the slider to 3% Click on Apply and click on OK Restart your computer Defragment your Hard Drive Run a Disk Check on your C: drive in Windows Vista or Windws 7 Click the Start Posted Image button and select Computer Right-click on C: and select Properties Click on the Tools tab Under Error-checking click the Check Now... button and click Continue at the User Account Control prompt Mark the box next to Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors Click on the Start button When the message box pops up, click the Schedule disk check button and restart your computer Once your computer restarts it will check the drive, don't press any keys so that it is allowed to do so (running Disk Check on your pc can take hours do not stop it it will get done) and since this is a laptop make sure it is pluged in to the power cord not batteries Defragment your Hard Drive again :) James [/QUOTE]
