Evening chaps,
I've inherited my mums laptop and I want to get it running how it used to. What can I do to get rid of the slugishness without going so far as to completly wipe and reinstall Windows? Both hard disks have at least 2 Gb of space. I'm running Norton, Adaware and Spybot as we speak to get rid of any unwanteds. Currently there are about 53 processes running which I think is far too many, i've used hijack this to give me a list of everything thats happening but I don't know enough to do anything with this info.
Help!

Go for it, remember though the key rule of investing, only put in what you can afford to lose. I was tempted a while ago when RPS plummetted but I don't have the spare cash. A friend of mine took out a graduate loan and rinsed his interest free overdraft to put into RBS shares before the bailout was announced.

Seems fair to me, how can you be in control of a car whilst tipping your head back to take a drink with only one hand on the wheel? More bad luck than anything else though getting caught. I think most people are guilty of it at some point or other.
-
I'd only buy a car for that much if it came with free AA cover
-
See who can sidehop Bendee's car.
That will imply some of us still ride
-
Keep telling yourself that Ben
I've heard that Matt Black paint adds at least another 50bhp....
Hmm I need to finalise my engine plans, need something fruity for the Inaugral T-F RWYB day
(I don't know why I keep adding inaugral, but it sounds good ) -
ive just got in, broke down
had some matt black in the glove box so i was alright in the end 
Hahahahahaha! What happened dude? I'm sure what ever the problem is i'm sure throttle bodies can fix it
Oh and it was indeed a great meet, nice to meet you all and see some awesome cars.

Win See you all sunday. Anybody eating at the pub? I believe we are so anybodys more then welcome to join us.
EDIT:
Apart from Boumsong, he eats like a horse.
Hahaha! I'll probably eat. Oh and i've no idea where this place is, i'm counting on you guys!
-
See you all there
Pm'd you Steve with my mobile number incase we are late etc, you to, Tipsy. Would be awesome if you could reply so I know who's who etc. Just need to wash the mini now an I'm all set, minus a tank of petrol
Just replied buddy, Still planning on 12.30 at Northampton southbound services?
-
By J8 of the M1 do you mean the A1/M ? (You being in Hemel Hempstead and all...)
I think your a bit to far up from me to be honest, I'm heading from Basingstoke to Wantage then up the A34 and going to Buckingham and across.
Nope I mean J8 of the M1.
As will IMe too!
I've not touched the Rallye for the very reason that if I do i'll break it and then not be able to come lol.
-
Anybody coming up from south and fancy convoying' it ?
I am, I'm setting off from Junction 8 of the M1. I was planning on going up past MK and meeting up with Steve and Tom etc and then heading back down the the pub with them.
-
Looks like we'll get to see who is best in the twisties (well ish as the A5 isn't all that twisty). Will be fun to have a nice convoy though
Hmmm, not sure i'm going to like the answer to that question lol
Annual? Every other month or so would be awesome. Speccially like runs to the coast or somethingYup, sounds good to me! As much as I love Rallyes it's good to see other cars and talk about something different every now and then lol
-
It's up to you guys, we can discuss the options when we meet at the services. Needless to say the A5 will be a lot more enjoyable than just cruising down the M1
12.300 at Northampton services you say? I meet you there too, only another junction or two and the A5 is always fun!
-
Can I get a woop woop please? Less than a week until the inaugral T-F car meet!
-
Tut tut, all these drop outs! I'll still be there for the inaugral T-F car meet
Well provided I don't screw up fitting my coilovers this weekend! -
Can someone sum up for me what's gone on in one post or less? I don't like feeling left out but I can't be arsed to read through 24 pages to find out!
-
Lol, believe you me, i didn't plan on current events.
I know, only kidding. Shame, I was looking forward to seeing the Civic. Another time I guess!
-
Unfortunately, looks like I'll be missing this.Banned.
That's it, get your coats!
Certainly can dude. I hope you hav a Satnav At the minute...I've got some slate with directions chalked onto it Mr.Beendeeleeeheehaa is heading down from our end as well, no doubt he'll join up en route somewhere.
If this goes well, T-F Lands end - John O Groats anyone?
Rallye register have already done that, without using Motorways or dual carriage ways right?
-
I just can't believe he was happy to let the engine go like that, does he have no pride in his work? or care about his reputation? Good luck to you I say, i'm sure by the time this is over Morspeed with have a fraction of the business it used to.
looking forward to more updates

I think part of the reason they are stepping in is to bail themselves out. Local councils etc were told to maximise their funds by using high interest accounts by central govt. So to an extent they were simply carrying that out. I think the effect would be worse for us if they weren't bailed out. On the surface you think that it doesn't effect you, but it will. How do you think the councils will recoup those losses? Up goes council tax and down gos council spending. I'm still amazed that they had that amount of money to invest.

I kinda like the "commitment" thats occuring here...We're all driving 100 + miles, to a pub carpark, from all ends of the country, to meet people who we've only (probably) ever spoken to over the internet
CAR LOVE
:wub: Sad little bunch aren't we? lol
-
It's probably about a 100 mile round trip for me, if that

I'm pretty sure you've actually been nominated a few times Ben. You could actually be a pretty decent test subject for our new initiation challenge.
Await the black dove above the purple moon.....

Thanks chaps, i'll give Ccleaner a try. I thought 20-30 processes was normal? Bear in mind this laptop is only used for the internet. It's got two hard drives, one with 2gb free, the other about 15gb free.
