John I read with interest and hope andrew will read this 2 years ago on my
Desktop Viglen Geni I did my first Defrag ever and with great care. The
following day I had a HD failure, now andrew suspected the 2 may be
connected and tried to explain about Indexes whirling around fast and
suppose I may have stopped a few seconds too early I do not think I did but
I did have the Hd failure it and its repercussions,which were due to
Engineers making mistakes that are too awful to explain meant I ddeveloped a
Phobia about ever doing a Defrag. Ps I hope andrew doesnot read this but
this year I plucked up courage to do them again with very great caution
leaving on for hours to be sure. So perhaps John you can explain about these
things called Indexes whirling around the Pc so the rest can better
understand there risks Thanks Dorothy

Subject: [jaws-uk] computers running slowly
Hi everybody, another couple of tips that will help your computer to keep
running as it should.
Firstly don't let cookies build up. If left to bild up they will have an
effect on your computer's performance. Some of them can also be harmful.
Secondly do a defrag once a day. The less fragmented you let windows get
the better. It's an obvious thing, but it's amazing how many times I've
heard of people never defragmenting and wondering why they have errors, and
why their computer runs increasingly slower.
Lastly for now SFC. If you get error messages it's a good idea to run SFC,
just in case system files have been altered badly or corrupted.
To do this, put your windows cd in the drive. Shut down the welcome screen
when it appears. Go to start and then run, and type:
sfc /scannow
You'll hear the cd power up. Windows will scan all its system files and
replace where necessary. Jaws still works during it, so don't be worried
about lack of speech feedback.
John.
