Removing programs that are not being run probably won't improve your
performance. However, running a number of programs simultaneously (and
possibly, you may not even be aware they are running!) may contribute to
sluggishness. Defragging (and computing, in general) requires a certain
amount of your hard drive to be free. So, please tell us how large your
hard drive is and how much free space you have:
Double-click My Computer. Under View, select Details (if you haven't
done so already). What are the values under Total Size and Free Space
for Local Disk (C:)?
One of the messages is:
Error 1606 could not access network location % userprofile% /my
pictures. Or I get 1606x53x295105304ox. Help!
Whenever you ask about an error message you need to state the full
text of the error message. "1606x53x295105304ox" means nothing.
I gave the two messages exactly the way they are on the computer. The
numbers are coming up exactly the way I wrote them.
Although that is what you saw, sometimes you need to dig deeper. Please
post pertinent copies of Error reports from Event Viewer, easily
accessed by:
Start | Run | type "eventvwr" (without the quotes)
For more info, see "How to view and manage event logs in Event Viewer in
Windows XP":

Having a lot of programs installed does not slow your computer.
(Having a lot of programs /running/ can sometimes slow your
computer.) However, Windows Defragmenter needs at least 15% free
space on the disk to run, and one way to free up space is to
uninstall programs you no longer use.
If you're having trouble uninstalling a program, you should ask the
program's technical support for help. If the program in question is a
Microsoft program, we can point you to an appropriate newsgroup.
The rule of thumb for failed uninstalls is to reinstall the program,
restart your computer and then uninstall the program. You usually
need to disable your security software (except for your firewall)
when installing and uninstalling software.
I've tried to uninstall and that is when the numbers show up. And
that
the full text.
