Hi Arlene I thought that the service would have done that but its worth a try. Thank you for the suggestion. I'll let you know if it works. Edel..----- Original Message ----- From: "Arlene Murray" <arlene.murray@xxxxxxxxx>

Pet hair can really clog up these machines! You seem to have followed all the usual steps aside from cleaning, if that doesn't help an operating system reinstall may be your only option. Thankfully that's a much more straightforward process than it used to be, I'm sure a sighted chum could help out. Hope it gets fixed soon! Arlene.

Hi allI have a strange one not really a vip issue but a few months ago my computerstarted whizzing and freezing especially if I asked it to do anything like for example go into videos on face book. I brought it to the shop and had it serviced and a virus was removed. The problem while not completely cured was better but now its got to the stage that everything is so slow again I just get frustrated and turn it off. Other programmes and internet pages seem to run ok. Could it be a facebook thing I have done virus checks, defragmentation and disc clean ups. Can anyone suggest any further checks I can do before paying another €90.The shop told me it could be a memory issue, how can I check if this is thecase and if so why are other WebPages and programmes running ok. Any help appreciated Regards Edel..
