Windows updates
-----Original Message----- I havent been able to get any updates since April, always comes up no critical updates available, and my windows is running very sluggish. Is there something I am missing? . there havent been any updates in quite some time to my knowlege. If your computer is a little sluggish i suggest using the disc cleanup program from the start menu in programs/accessories/system tools |

WinME isn't succeptible to the latest spate of bugs so no critical updates. Running DiskCleanup, Scandisk and Defrag will speed things up a little: Start/Programs/Accessories/SystemTools Let some pest-control programs look for and squish any unwelcome guests: -free for personal use antivirus tool: http://www.grisoft.com/us/us_dwnl_free.php -free for personal use spyware/adware detection & removal tools: http://www.safer-networking.org/ http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ Taking a look at all the things you've got autoloading when Windows starts and trimming it back will speed things up alot: Place to start is Start/Programs/Startup folder. Next is Start/Run/msconfig.exe/Startup In each case don't chop the program off at the knees unless absolutely necessary, better to do it through the program's Options/Preferences If there's no noticeable improvement after these, we can look at some system settings. Please post back either way when you've gone through this stuff. HTH Rick |
