My computer is slow and I'm unable to defragment.
I keep having problems with my computer slows down up on top of me. I scan my computer with internet security daily, I was getting some maleware, spyware or the riskware after that that it finished scanning, but now nothing. I used disk defragment, but it keeps cancelling work on me because of an error. How do I fix the error so I can use it? Are there other options to help speed up my computer?

When getting started, my computer is slow and unresponsive?
For the last two or three days, I noticed that my computer is very slow and unresponsive. None of the programs that I click on will open and usually everything will freeze if I press what either. When I put my computer in Mode safe mode (with networking), everything seems to work very well. When in Mode safe, everything I click actually works, but it seems that it's not when I start my computer using the option "Start Windows normally". I have a laptop that is currently running on Windows 7. Anyone happen to know how I can fix this problem? Can what steps I take to fix my laptop? I also tried searching for virus and so far it is said that my computer is fine and has no virus. I used CCleaner (Pro) to "clean" my computer and my computer still seems slow, unresponsive and freezes quiet a bit. I also system restore my computer to an earlier time, but it is still giving me the problem slow, freezing and not responding like it.

I have an emachines el1200-07w that crashed. It has windows Vista Home Basic. I can not access the recovery partition and emachines has no recovery for this model CD. can someone help me?
original title: windows vista problemHello
Some manufacturers have more available Vista recovery disks.
As happened with eMachines, you may have to try this instead:
You can also borrow and use a Microsoft Vista DVD, which contains the files for the different editions of Vista (Home Basic, Home Premium, Business and Ultimate) must be installed. The product key on your computer / Laptop box determines what Edition is installed.
Other manufacturers recovery DVDs are should not be used for this purpose.
And you need to know the version of 'bit' for Vista, as 32-bit and 64-bit editions come on different DVDs
See you soon.
p.s. Here are some reviews of Recovery - Disks.com.
