Are you sure. If you click your start button, then go to All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools and it should be on the list.

You might have problems with spyware, I would suggest downloading spybot seach and destroy, and lavasoft's adaware to help you get your computer back up to speed.  You can find them online for free.\n\nYou should also defrag your system. Go to Programs>accessories>system tools>disk defragmenter in the start menu, and scan your drives. Those things might help you out. Good luck!

One should do a  disk cleanup everyday and defrag two or three times a week if the computer is used moderately. Try this. \nYou may need to do a Disk Cleanup..and be sure you have all the boxes checked.... \nDefrafg your C drive or what ever is your \nmain harddrive... Make sure you have selected the C Drive.... This is called a Disk Defragmenter... \nGo to : Start... \nprograms.. \naccessories... \nsystem tools..\nDo this often... \nTry the System Restore which takes you back to a time when your computer was working good. Go To: \nstart\nprograms\naccessories\nsystems tools\nsystem restore\nThis process is completely reversable. And does not remove your personal files.  Just go back one checkpoint at a time until your puter is working good again.\nE

I would suggest to not use a third party defragmenter on windows. Try running error-checking first BEFORE you run defrag. Error Checker will help clear a path for a smoother defrag.

Sounds like the program is conflicting with something on your puter and you might need to delete it.  Do you defrag regularly? Here some things to try. \nOne should do a  disk cleanup everyday and defrag two or three times a week if the computer is used moderately.

Let's say that you want to delete ALL of the files in your MY DOCUMENTS folder.    Right click on MY DOCUMENTS and pick EXPLORE.   Click on any file on the RIGHT SIDE and use CONTROL and A (to select all).   Then RIGHT CLICK on the highlighted files and pick DELETE.    All of those files would delete.   Then empty your recycle bin. \n\nBut for programs, open the Control Panel and use the ADD/REMOVE section to uninstall each one.   So at this point, those programs would be safely removed. \n\nIf you are GIVING this computer to someone else, but want it functional, use the DISK CLEANUP program that is in the System Tools of the Accessories section.  Also, take the time to test the disk.   Open My Computer, then Right Click on the C drive and pick PROPERTIES.  Then pick the Tools section.  Click on the CHECK NOW button, check both tests then let the test run after you REBOOT.   \n\nAfter testing the disk, run DEFRAG.  Find this also in the System Tools section.    When you DEFRAG, this will move many files around and connect them together.  During this process, remnants of your old files, even though deleted previously, will be scrambled pretty well.   This will also optimize the system and really make it "as good as it can".\n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

Maybe you should delete some non essential stuff off your computer. Is this an old computer or a new one. If it is old you might want to buy a new one.\n\nI would try this:\ndisk cleanup and defrag\nthen go to \nmy computer\nc drive right click to bring up box\nclick on properties\ntools\nCheck now\nrun that program to see if it clears up any problems.

defrag and do a disk cleanup

It's very unlikely that it will still exist. When you delete a file it frees up the disk space for other files to be written, so it's highly likely that the file has been partly or completely overwritten (unless you have done very little work on the computer since and have never defragmented the hard disk).\n\nPC Inspector is one of the many programs you could use to see what, if anything, is recoverable: http://www.pcinspector.de/file_recovery/uk/download.htm\n\nNote that System Restore (even if there is a date there before you deleted the files) will NOT recover data files, only system files, which will be of no use to you.

Okay check this first. Go to MY COMPUTER, RIGHT CLICK ON C-DRIVE, Scroll down to PROPERTIES and left click. A window will pop up showing you a diagram like pieces of a pie and you will be able to see how much free space you have. If it is full then your hard drive is full. You can first run DISK CLEANUP and remove any unwanted cookies, files, ETC. Thjen go to the TOOLS tab and click on DEFRAGMENT NOW, this will bring up another window and you can left click on the C- Drvie there and then left click on the Defragment button. If this does not help you will need to DELETE any unused SOFTWARE you do not use on your computer, then follow the instrcutions about defragging again. Next is that if you are using ALL of the software programs then you will need to purchase a LARGER hard drive and have it installed and GHOST your old hard drive onto the new one so you do not lose anything.  Hope this helps.

You probably have programs running in the background that are preventing it from working properly. For Windows, restart into Safe Mode and try running Disk Defragmenter there.

The speed of your PC may be too slow or you need to defrag the hard drive and use the Disk Clean up program in your PC.
