  2. What it's 200MB-that's nothing. You need to clean up more: run ,defrag,delete temp files,cookies and MOST of all all the old programs you never use but you have them on your computer.Did you ever empty your recycle bin?

    OH ! resize your pictures to 1024X768 .But only the ones you don't want to print out bigger than 10x12 in. Then delete your old ones-that will help you a lot,with your 200MB.

    Go to this link and on the right the 11th one down-Image Resizer download that.

  3. If your virus/spyware free, there are  a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

    First, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

    2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

    1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser

    2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".

    3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.

    4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.

    5. Click OK.

    3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to bare-bones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

    1. Open your Start menu.

    2. Click Run

    3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"

    4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab

    5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.

    6. Click "OK"

  4. download ccleaner and run that...

  8. 200 Meg of free space means nothing without knowing the size of the HDD.  System will require 10% of free space for the swap files to run properly.  If you have less than a 20Gig HDD, you don't have enough free space.
