Faster Computer

^ Mine is AVG Free Edition, but it works just fine. In fact, just a couple of hours ago I did my weekly routine. No one was home, so it worked out well.

And don't expect RCT3 to run real well, anyway. That game sucks memory up like a whore to a straw.

^ As a guideline, I defrag my computer once a week after doing a Disk Cleanup on each of our accounts. Of course, I use AdAware and Spybot Search and Destroy once a week, too, along with a complete scan with my anti-virus program.

 

All of this takes some time, but it keeps things clean and fast. XP Pro is the way to go if you're using Windows.

I use a program that runs defrag while the screen saver is running. So I rarely have to worry about doing a complete defrag. The name of the program is excaping me at the moment.

 

That Windows system defrag program doesn't really do much at all.

To a straw?

 

I would have went with pipe or pole.

 

Anyway, I'm glad the defragmenting worked. I was gonna say that; sounds like you're probably downloading a lot of stuff (and deleting it) and that fragments the drive fairly quickly.

It was early, and I'm not a morning person.
