Press enter. after that has done, tab again and press enter on the ok button. Tab again until you here the ok button again, and press enter. The above actions will clear the cash and make jaws much faster as there is know rubbish on the memory. If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me on 07967603395 and I will talk you thru the process. There is also another couple of things that can help the performance but won't go in to that yet, but if you want me to talk you thru them then I will be more than happy to do so.
