I suggest you disable suspend and hibernation. This is recommended by Microsoft.
1. Run Chkdisk and check the box (detect errors) 2. Run the defrag utility on the drive Probably good to run it twice. 3. Obtain from Microsoft and run the utility "Regclean.exe) which will clean up the registry. Following these three steps, you might well find out you will not have to reformat and the speed improvement will be very noticeable.. ====================================== Stop spam on your domain, use our gateway!
