Laptops do tend to f**k up if they aren't exposed to spankwire etc on a regular basis.

Mine has increased in speed since I installed registry mechanic. Seriously, the registry can slow your machine down incredibly as it's got so many dead links and crossed wires to negotiate through at a continuous rate.

Tyssen download a program from www.downloads.com called Advanced SystemCare Free. Let it run and it works wonders.

It'll do everything for you and back everything up so no risk of buggering it all up

It does everything everyones mentioned.

go to start
then run
type in "msconfig"
you then get a box that has several tabs you need to go the the start up tab
untick all the boxes,

restart laptop/pc

this means it will not load all programs on the machine in the background,works a treat and improves start up time by alot, give it a go,

obviously if you want certain programs to load on start up e.g. msn messenger then just tick the box again

What OS?

When my old sony viao started running slow, (i mean really really slow) i almost thought of getting rid but then just decided as a last resort to upgrade the memory from 1gig to 2 gig and the transformation was unbelievable, it runs like new again now, the ammount of crap on there in the background meant it was running too many applications for it's ram capacity so adding more sped up everything no end

Download CCleaner. That will delete all the crap thats not needed now and change your registry for you.

Buy a Mac, I have recently sold my Vista Laptop and bought an iMac. OMFG it's amazing.
