Hi Christine, I believe the other Barry is going to post a walkthrough for the program itself, so I'll not duplicate the use of it. However, to download the setup for C Cleaner do the following. 1. Open your Web Browser. 2. Go to the address bar and type or copy and paste the following address. 3. http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download 4. Click on Download from Piriform.com. 5. The page will load and you'll most likely hear a low tone. This means that Internet Explorer has blocked the site from downloading files as a security safeguard. As this is a legit site it's OK to allow the setup to download. 6. So you'll want to press alt n, to access the information bar of Internet Explorer. Once you are in this Information Bar area you can hit Spacebar to open it's menu.. 7. Cursor down to Download File and press return. 8. A File Download Dialog Box will pop up. This is just IE asking you What you wish to do with this file. Select Save and press return. NB. You can of course change the location of your downloaded file if you wish. It will most likely by default land either in you're my Documents or on your Desktop. Chris's walkthrough will most likely include an Installation walkthrough if you're not comfortable with that. If it doesn't shout back and either myself or one of the others will be happy to do you a step-by-step guide. Take care, Barry.

Thanks Barry, I've seen my cookies ok. Can you tell me if your programme would help me clear history? Better still, as I don't like downloading programmes, how do I do that manually, I have done it once or twice, but forgotten totally how to do that now. Thanks for the help.

Typically 1.5 times your installed RAM is the number most home-users need. How much RAM do you have int hat machine? It may be an idea to upgrade.
