i'm sick of trying to find which processes to end to speed my pc up and i dont even know what most of the 100gb used is.
Should i just spend the day formatting and start again? :ohmy:
that means, drivers, games, save games, music, movies, apps, emails, everything
actually i got about 14gb to back stuff up but its not as dramatic if you take that into account

that, the emails and pctv vision and i think i can start :unsure:

Don't you think that your data should be kept on a different partition than your system?

if you've done all spware and add checks then just go for it, it'll pay off when it's done :01:

make sure you have asked all your things you have to ask before you start as it is a bit tricky to get online without a pc :blink:

i decided to try the defragment thing but my pc won't co-operate

i even tried defragging in safe mode. i prefer the old defrag interface, it looked like it was working :unsure:
any ideas, or should i go ahead with the format?

Ohhh! Look at all the colors! :wacko:
Don't even talk to me about a PC cooperating with its owner, my puter always crashes when I try to defrag. :no:

I always get this when I click Analyze or Defrag.

Then I close the Windows Defragger and I get this:

If it was me, I would just start over. But thats because I'm a neat freak I guess.
