I have a program called PC Matic that I use when mine does what you describe—it cleans and fixes things and is faster.

I have a $300 emachine from Walmart—got it because it had XP on it during Vista days. It has worked as well as the computers I’ve had that cost 5 times as much. I don’t know how to use everything on this one...bells and whistles are lost on me.

Check PC Matic.

Hi, lovestar - I will check PC Matic. I do have one free Registry Cleaner and another one that I subscribe to for an annual fee, but I'm game to try something that works for others! :)

One of the Geeks at BestBuy said that Windows 7 can be installed over Vista (but not over XP) and it works fine - he said that Windows 7 was designed to replace Vista. That will be my next option if I can keep this one alive until Windows 7 has been out for a while!

Hi, Dave!
