Q. I just deleted a whole lot from my laptop, and I ran a 'defragmentation' on the hard-drive, but it's still going really slow. Any ideas?
More detail: It's slow to open programs or new windows. There's a delay between when I click an icon and when the window opens.

A. Are you familiar with the Task manager? (Ctrl+Alt+Delete) The task manager will show you which processes are using you processor power and how much virtual memory.
What version of Windozes? Have you tried using a registry cleaner? Do you have a reliable anti-virus?
When I used to use Windozes, I had to wipe it about every 6 months and start over. It just seemed to get unstable after prolonged use. I now use Ubuntu Linux.

What operating system should i install on a VERY old computer?
Q. The computer again is extremely old, ie 5-6 years (integrated graphics, 1 gig ram, pentium processor, etc). Now i want to find an OS that is both simple to use and one that will run efficiently, especially for viewing photos and movies (obviously this is bottle-necked by hardware, but there should be differences in memory and cpu usage from OS to OS),
So what do you suggest? the new chrome OS, win XP, ubuntu?

A. Old machines run best on what they were designed for, But time marches on and computer os support runs out of steam. If your machine was designed for XP os then use it, upgrade as much of the hardware as economical and go from there. You may find it would be best to purchase a new machine rather then try to upgrade on your own. If that is not an option and you are determined then you should start with the memory, then the video card. If your machine is at least a P4 running at close to 2.0GHz then you will have a chance depending on your technical ability. If not then you should shop the internet for a used system that is within the price range of what you are going to spend on upgrading your machine. To answer your question Google Chrome OS is only to be used for the modern netbooks (condensed and stripped down laptop computers), Win XP was most likely the OS that was installed at the factory on your machine, and Linux Ubuntu is free and open source software.... XP is my choice
Should install Linux and get rid of Windows Vista?
Q. Ok So I have a laptop and have Installed Windows Home Premium; I am wondering what is Linux? I do not know yet but I am wondering if I should install Linux and un-install Windows Vista? Please, someone Help, Should I? Which one is Better?
A. Linux Ubuntu +++++++++++
I am so glad to get rid of the intrusiveness of Windows Vista. Linux belongs to the user. not the other way around. No agreements to sign, no automatic updates that pull the rug out from under your feet, so you are forced to buy new computers. No need for expensive protection systems. It is like having a brand new computer. After having most of my memory wasted with access systems, and then finding out that they not only did not work, but just took up space, and then being denied access to get rid of them.......
You can load Ubuntu through your Windows system and try it out for free, as a separate operating system on the same computer. If you are not impressed. Just delete it. Try doing that with Window. Windows is in charge of your usage with it's system. You are in charge of your system with Ubuntu, Lenox.
If you get the disc, which is absolutely free, including postage, you can erase windows and all of it's quirks from your computer, and have ten times as much memory available with the same number of programs.
