C Cleaner from Piriform recommended by Gopinath is the best way to clean up a Vista machine. You can also download a defragmenter from Piriform that is much faster than Windows' defrag program.

How much RAM (memory ) do you have in
your PC,Laptop.The more the better,but make sure motherboard
can take it.It should be in the Bios,some can only carry 2GB.

Hard disk maintenance should be carried once a month to make your computer run efficiently. This removes redundant and temporary files, recovers disk space and speed up hard disk access. Disk Cleanup should be done first - Click My Computer - then right click on the C drive then click Properties, then click Disk Cleanup - let it examine the C drive then it will calculate the amount of disk space it will recover, tick all the boxes to recover the maximum disk space and then Click OK and then Yes to perform these actions. If you have a D drive then repeat these steps on this drive too. Next the C drive needs to be Defrag. This process converts fragmented files into continuous files and this speeds up disk access and makes the hard disk not work as hard. Click on Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Defragmenter - click to highlight the C drive and click Analyse - then click Defragment. When this is completed repeat these steps for the D Drive if you have a D drive. Disk Cleanup and Defrag can take a long time to complete, especially if these tasks have not been for a long time.

It's a USED mint condition 2006 Compaq with windows vista.I put in most of the FREE upgrades so I can play games on facebook, But it still MEGA drags. Anything else you can suggest would be appreciated. Thanks.

SOURCE: my stratego game will not play on window 7 was wondering if there is a patch for it?

Hi Tony,
Have you tried to run the game using Windows compatibility mode?
You can do this by right-clicking on the game's launch icon and selecting "Troubleshoot compatibility" from the drop-down menu.
Select the operating system from the list which worked with your game.
Windows 7 will apply settings which replicate the version of Windows you choose from the list.
Best wishes,
Graemevm

Couldnt play games on facebook now it says no server

This occurs as a result of slow internet connection, or unresponsive server host. You should get a better modem, if possible a broadband, in order for your system to load sufficient kilobytes per time, for you to play games on facebook. However, if you feel your connection is fast, you can download and install mozilla firefox from 'www.brothersoft.com'. After downloading it, you go to tools/options link, then click 'advanced'. Furthermore, you click the settings button, in this menu set to use 'system network'. Apply the settings, then restart firefox. Make sure your internet connection is already running before you reopen firefox. If you are able to get these steps correctly, I guess your problem is solved

My comp. slows way down when I play facebood helps if I defragment but starts again as soon as I play

Try updating Flash. Most games on facebook have had improvements made but they require the newer version of Flash to work well. Another solution would be to upgrade your RAM memory and to ensure that all automatic updates are turned off when playing. One last thing to consider is facebook itself has recently had many problems with their games crashing and regardless of what computer you use, you'll have issues.

My Facebook chat window freezes up when someone responds to me

Try Using Different Browsers other then IE explorer 8 or below, they have problems working with new chat windows and stuff that it don't really recognize. For instance try firefox,opera,google chrome,safari 4

One of these would have to work with facebook, if not make sure you have enough RAM space to even run anything other then browser sometimes a slow machine can just freeze from working it self to hard.
