Was just round someones house fixing their Dell laptop. Reminded me how much I hate Vista! Slow, too graphical and killed the laptop performance.
Found he had had no anti-virus (like that for 2 years) so installed the FREE AVG software http://free.avg.com/gb-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free, defragged his hard disk, installed the FREE registry and PC housekeeping programme http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download and that was it!
Separately he needs a RAM upgrade as with 1gb of RAM he had 90% used by the 65 odd processes he had running.
Also he has not backed it up for 3 years. Will help with that as well.
All standard PC housekeeping tasks but necessary all the same.
