Hi all,
My 7 year old Windows XP machine is just about dawdling
along and, having done some recent maintenance, I'm now
wondering about next steps.
It's running Jaws 12, has been virus and malware checked
thoroughly and I've run a complete Scandisk. However,
though in some ways it appears quite zippy, after
startup of Windows, as various items are being loaded,
it's very sluggish and I'm thinking also that Outlook
Express and Internet Explorer aren't all that stable. I'm thinking I may
have to do a complete reformat and
install of the software but am loath to do this, of
course, so maybe I can get a bit further before reaching
that conclusion.
My questions are as follows:
How might I determine if the hard disk is failing? (Do
I need to carry out all possible maintenance before
reaching such a conclusion?)
Assuming that I probably do, can I uninstall and
re-install Outlook Express and Internet Explorer and
exactly how do I do this and find the latest versions,
please?
I'm not keen to play with the registry but realise it is
probably now very long and unweildy, with mumerous
unwanted entries, since some items have been uninstalled
over the years, so I'd be grateful for recommendation of
a simple but good registry editor that will do the job
without me having to know the answers myself.
Finally, is there anything else I should be doing that I
haven't thought about?
Thanks for any and all help, maybe to keep this old work
horse on the road a little longer! <Smiles>
