well i finally got a new laptop recently so my old NEC E6000 or something is going to be left at home for my parents to use...

however after going through the abuse i gave it (ok not really...but i often used up like ALL it's space only had 200mb left on it sometimes -___-) it's sooooooo damn slow now lol it takes 10 minutes just to startup

i've already transferred most of my files from the NEC to my current laptop so it has like 20-30GB free space and uninstalled nearly all the programs except SC and photoshop and random things like flash player acrobat reader and its STILL this slow -_-;

i fixed this laptop a year ago and after that it was blazing fast so i was wondering how i could get it to become like that again -_-

reformat is easiest way.

if you dont want to, then use ccleaner and defrag with auslogics free defrag and use ccleaner again and make sure msconfig doesnt have too many startup stuff and then defrag your boot files

http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=73862

and then run ccleaner issues.

If you haven't tried defragmenting, that's the obvious answer. Using up all of your space, then deleting it and reusing definitely calls for defrag.

I'd recommend you do a fresh install if you still have the disks or do a system recovery.

Then you can tweak the system. Not sure what OS you have but this is the one for vista:

That doesn't actually boost performance unless the system's clocking down from overheating.

You can try undervolting. It'll make your laptop run cooler and consume less power

I can't find a simple xp tweak guide but there's a bunch of really detailed ones on notebookreview if you dig around

I think I got about a 25% increase in battery life after undervolting. It's definitely worth it if you have the time.
