Get rid of the old updates.

I have xp on laptop.  Is running really slowly.  Given that I've had a ton of updates was 1/09.  Can I get rid of these and this will help the computer run faster?

old updates just to take up disk space and would not be entirely responsible for a slow system.

Unfortunately, a slow system can be attributed to a variety of things, singularly or a combination of them.  It can also be software related or attributed to material or both.

what you can try first run all the tools from microsoft here: http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/default.htm

Subsequently, we can take a look at your hardware to verify an idea of your system by clicking on start > run > msinfo32

Another method you can use is to see if the performance is better in safe mode and the safe mode with network / internet connection.

    How can I get rid of the old points of restor on my hard drive

    A better program of disk cleanup is cCleaner. Delete System Restore points may be important if you have little free disk space. The ability to delete them is one of the tools options. You can selectively remove those created in less important moments.

    cCleaner comes with a registry tool. Do not use this tool as any registry cleaner could lead to the creation of very difficult to resolve system errors.

  • How to get rid of the old ssid that allows itself on another network

    I had a mobile hotspot, I used for the internet, now I use my neighbors, wireless network, the ssid of old hotspot always presents and replaces network neighbors even if it is not operational, showing access internet, causing problems... What can I do?

    Hi PLANTESTEPHAN,

    I think that your Windows 7 has implemented information cached on your wireless connections. I suggest you to remove all SSID memory. Restart, and then sign in again to the new connection.

    (a) click Start and select Control Panel.

    (b) go to network and sharing Center. Look at the top left and choose "manage wireless connections.

    (c) then you can rename or set the SSID for each Wi - Fi connection there. I think it's better to delete them all, if you have two or delete mobile hotspot connection.

    (d) restart the computer.

    You can also get rid of the extra wireless adaptor by going to control panel > Device Manager, go to 'View' and then choose 'show hidden devices '. Later, go to the network adapters and you can remove all of the extra network adapter entries.

    Let us know the status of the issue. If you need help, please after return. We will be happy to help you.

      • Click the link that tells you important updates are available if you have some updates to hide.

      • Click the link that tells you optional updates are available if you have optional updates to hide.

    3. Select an update that you want to hide, right-click, and then click Hide update. Do this for each update you want to hide.

  • Firefox Initialise OK with latest update crashes, bu then always in short time (very reliable). When are you going to get rid of the last update?

    Firefox last update allows you to initialize OK, but then in short time suddenly block it) whatever the operating mode, but immediately always when you use multiple windows). Obviously the last update has not been sufficiently tested. When will you update the update?

    Hello Thomas.

    It is possible that you have a problem with some Add on Firefox which is an obstacle to the normal behavior of your Firefox. Have you tried to disable all add-ons (just to see) to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

    Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you must make sure that it is not caused by one (or more) of your installed modules, whether an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do this easily and cleanly, start Firefox in safe mode (remember to select disable all add-ons when you start safe mode). If the problem goes away, you know that it's an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode and allow them one by one until you find the source of the problem. See this article for more information on troubleshooting extensions and theme and this one for plugins.

    If you need help with one of your modules, you will need to contact the author.

    If my husband I text message about 3 weeks telling me that dinner was ready, and I got this message alerted on my Apple Watch first, until I saw it on my phone. I replied with my phone. Since then, now whenever texts he me this message appears first as well as all his new message says on my Apple Watch only. How can I fix?

    Hello

    You can have an alert notification not cleared for the old message in the Notification Center on your watch.

    You can close the message notifications individually as and when read you either by:

    -When you read one: scroll to the bottom of the notification and clicking on the button reject, or;

    -When you read one: drag down on the notification (from the upper section, if a notification that is longer than that of a playback screen), or;

    -In the list (after slipping from the top of your watch face down to open the Notification Center): hit left swipe on an individual notification, then tapping on Clear.
