Re: Windows xp playing up

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi all.
Well checked out the laptop. It took forever to start-up and to open
anything. But I think it was due to the following reasons;
Found thousands of files in the Temp Int Files folder. got rid of them and
cookies.
There were few damaged Objects in the Downloaded program files. got rid of
them
There were tons of unused and suspect programs which we got rid of in
Add/Remove software.
The difference it made was fantastic.
Now running as it should.
Thanks everyone.
