The computer I use is Windows XP. I am not sure if it works on Vista-sorry.
What should you do when your computer is running slow?
The very first thing I would suggest if you're having computer problems, and Allpoetry isn't working right is to clean out your temp files, and cookies.
You can do that by going to your top tool bar.
1. First click on tools
2. Look down, and click your last option internet options.
3. Click that.
4. You'll see where to delete your files, and cookies. Click delete files. Some computers ask if you want to delete your offline files, while others don't. If yours does then please please check yes.
5. Reboot your computer after cleaning, and deleting your files.
Now, if you're still having problems here is another thing that can help.
Cleaning up space on your hard disk.
Here's how :
1. Click the start up menu
2. Click Control Panel
3. Click performance, and maintenance
4. You'll see pick a task
5. Click the third one down - "Free up space on your hard disk"
Click yes.
Sometimes freeing up space on your hard disk it's also recommended that you reboot your computer.
If your computer is still running slow I would suggest getting a freeware edition of either AVG, or Avast. Try running a virus check on your computer.
Sometimes a system restore on your computer also helps.
Also check and see if your computer needs defraging.
Always check your programs if you have downloaded stuff recently. Sometimes there can be programs that sneak in that we don't want.
