Yesterday I posted that to speed up and old computer you should wipe the free space. Boy,was I wrong!Shortly after doing so,my computer started acting strangely and then totally crashed
At present,I am doing a system recovery on it.Hopefully,that will bring it back.I still recommend CCleaner,but use the simple settinhgs unless you are a true repair professional.

going to the control panel and uninstalling unnecessary or unused programs, using disk cleanup and the occasional disk defrag work wonders...

If it's a desktop and the processor is 2.14GHz or higher, RAM could be increased for quicker processing or multi-tasking, etc.

If it's a laptop and the processor is 2.14 or higher, RAM can still be increased, albiet must be much more careful.

Hard deletes should always be avoided unless its personally introduced to the pc (images, music, text documents, spare folders)

Face the facts? You need a new computer, simple as and your problem is solved!

Replace the Windows operating system with a Linux LXDE.

I still stand by my advice from the earlier topic :)
