Being able to post messages

[Guest attilathehun1]

I'm running out of PCs to post messages with. It seems like I get a few

weeks of messages with each PC. I'm finally down to my laptop and yesterday

after I installed 4 updates I wasn't able to post here anymore. I did a total

wipe out of my hard drive and now it's like factory new. Wiped the hard drive

clean and now this thing is running like a fine tuned race car. This Dell

9400 was bogging down to the point where I couldn't close a webpage and half

the time I'd get an error message saying report or don't report and the other

half time I'd have to go into Task Manager to end the program. I'd try to

maximize here and only half the page would max out and the program would stop

responding. Now I am running great and I recommend to anyone having the same

problems to do the same thing after backing up their important data.

That's good, but it isn't necessary for most people. Case in point: I

just retired my XP setup on this machine last month and performed a

clean install of Vista.

 

Prior to that installation, XP had been running sweetly - without any

degradation in speed that I was aware of - for 7 years and 5 months.

 

OK... I did build a new machine almost 2 years ago, but when I did

that, all I did was clone the former drive to a newer/faster one and

then did a repair install to get things up to date with new drivers.
