I have an external drive which I did plan to put all files and folders on.
I have never backed up a registry before. When reformatting, should you run
a program to wipe files or just do a reformat to truly clean it? I think I
will switch my memory around too or order one more stick, I never finished
up on my memory prob with this computer. I did add more but after switching
sticks around, found it ran slower than it did with an ealier arrangement.
Also my CD-RW drive does not work on this one but will just use the new one
