im telilng ye again, formatting is far quicker than defragmenting and you will be suprised how much sh1te you pick up over the 2 years that you never hardly used and never will again.

defragmenting works for about a week or two and after that it starts to slow down again. anyhow horses for courses.

Paul that's plain silly -formatting is basically giving the machine a labotomy. it means EVERYTHING has to be re-installed because the slate has been wiped clean. You're trying to fix a cuckoo clock with a sledge-hammer mate.

I don't know what DR uses his PC for but it's a huge amount of trouble to go to for the sake of a good clean up. I've had to format a machine once in five years -because a sound card was corrupt -and there was simply no other way -but that's the only time you format -as an absolute last resort.

As you say-defragmenting does only work for a couple of weeks and then the machine will start to slow down again - that's why under System Tools you have "Scheduled Tasks" so you can schedule a defragment to run every week, fortnight, month whatever. (I defrag every fortnight and let the machine run over night to do it)

Now Gareth, I'll be leaving for the boozer at about quarter to seven, remember we've got a snore fest in Tolka tomorrow!!!

I de-frigged, or whatever the hell its called, when you said it would take a while, I thought you meant about 15 minutes, not 3 1/2 hours!!!

To answer your question, I'm not the only user so I can't just delete everything...

**Gareth** · 28/10/2005, 8:38 AM

Drums, have passwords written out, have the box disconnected and it all depends when I get my car back from the service. If its at home when I get there I will get your pc before the game. If its not, then I need to find a car to drive to get the pc. I am doing live updates from Tolka tonight and I will attempt to fix your pc afterwards whilst you go out and have fun. If I hear mention of rockets or cameras I'll batter you. Did you forget you owed me loads of money, then halved the amount by transfering the debt to a fella who lives in oz and did you even ever pay me back?

P.s Don't do ANYTHING to your pc. Leave it be and I'll fix it. You "fixing" it could lead to making it irrepairable

**Drumcondra Red** · 28/10/2005, 8:57 AM

I said I'd get you that money!!! Its not my fault he left the country!!! Give me a ring before anyway, let me know whats going on, just to be clear, no cables or anything needed???

**Gareth** · 28/10/2005, 9:49 AM

No cables needed roy bar ONE power cable for the laugh of it. I will ring. Everything is in the air at the moment based on vehicle acquiring!!

Then I will fix your computer. As for the money, your a bad man

**paul_oshea** · 28/10/2005, 9:56 AM

he is a friend gareth would you not let him off???

btw i hope you aint charging him for this.

**Gareth** · 28/10/2005, 9:59 AM

As a friend, I have bought him many pints, lent him much money, allowed my gf to save his life and I am not charging him for fixing his pc. What do I get in return, a possible rocket attack!!

**paul_oshea** · 28/10/2005, 12:00 PM

allowed my gf to save his life

thought you were going to say something else there for a min!!!

**Drumcondra Red** · 28/10/2005, 12:06 PM

Shhh Paul, he doesn't know about that!!! Gareth, I have bought you many pints in return also! Those few you buy when you're p.issed don't count, because I tell you not to buy them!
