Wow, I dig the new look! Anyhoo, is there anything I can do to speed up my laptop that is free?

My laptop runs soooo slow, it also gets a window that says"program is not responding...end now?" and some other blah blah blah. I've deleted temp. files. defragged, disk clean-up. What else can I do cuz this thing is killing me. Especially when I have a paper due. Keep in mind that I'm broker than a convict LOL

    Bypass downloading anything for now. Click>start>type in the little box "msconfig", then the start up tab. Uncheck any programs you wish to have not run on start up. :)

    download a free start up cleaner to decide exactly which programs open on start up; you'll want as few opening as possible, even background progams as they all stay open and you don't even use them so they just slow you down

    Uninstall all that freeware you downloaded!
