Run scan disk in the safe mode or turn off all the programs running in the background including your screen saver. To turn off the programs, do a ctrl/alt/delete and end each program except systray and explorer.
I've never partitioned my hard drives and they work just fine. I think it is a personal preference whether you do it or not.
You didn't list how much RAM you have. That can effect the performance of your computer especially if you have too little.
#1 - I have just started using Firefox as my browser and I am noticing that some web pages are begining to not load correctly (including CNET Help) even though I think they were before. Is there anyway I can correct this? I have the latest version.
#2 - I run standard scandisk once weekly, just before I defrag - how often would anyone recommend I run a thorough check? Also, is there any way i can speed up the process? - it currently takes about 8 hours.
#3 - It has been recommended to me that I partition my drive - system files / media files / program files etc. Would doing this improve how my puter runs? If so - how do I do it?
WinMe (with all necessary updates)
Intel P4 1.3g
60 g h/d
I have listed more specs in my profile - please let me know if anything is missing.
All help appreciated
