I know what an uninterruptable power supply is but what is an Uninterpretable Power Supply? :-)
Duke @ Feb 12th 2009 3:37PM
An Uninterpretable Power Supply is one where you can't read the directions and plug into the wrong hole.

Richard @ Feb 12th 2009 5:48PM
cleroyscoryea, hey learn to type or maybe how to talk before you write something. What is the obama, and how slow dues too money hungry people mean. Maybe you just aren't from this or any other English speaking country and it is my fault not your's because you are too stupid to write.

GET A LIFE. EVERYONE'S NOT AS PERFECT AS YOU
bob @ Feb 12th 2009 5:49PM
Thanks. Went through all and changed/added much. I can already see the difference.
Stephanie @ Feb 12th 2009 6:27PM
for at least 2 of the apps you recommended and said were free, you neglected to say that they are only free TRIALS and after downloading them, I only then discover that the free trails can only fix 20 of the 900 problems found on my computer. If I really want to fix the problems, it will cost me $30 for each product. Right now, I don't have it. So, thanks a whole lot for letting us know ahead of time that these things are not really free. I wouldn't have wasted my time.

Joe @ Feb 13th 2009 7:35PM
get yourself some free products that are really free
clean your computer and fix your registry with -
ccleaner at www.ccleaner.com
get free antivirus avg 8.0 at www.grisoft.com
get free adware eliminator - look for spybot search&destroy - make sure you get the right one, the one that is free
Debbie @ Feb 12th 2009 7:26PM
After unchecking the services, one is causing problems with the AOhelL software. When you log on you get an error message and all web pages come up blank. I reselected all and it fixed it so I'm not sure which one is causing the problem.
Barb @ Feb 16th 2009 2:11PM
I cant reselect the boxes it checks them but still says they a re stopped and I cant get on aol..do you know how I can get aol software back?
Debbie @ Feb 16th 2009 6:59PM
Did you restart your computer for the changes to take place once you selected everything?
debbie @ Feb 12th 2009 7:29PM
thank God i read you guys' comments before i suffered through sitting here with my slow computer going through the 10 million clicks to read a stupid article!!! why can't they just put the article on one page?!
db @ Feb 12th 2009 10:30PM
OMG. Thanks for posting some solutions that work!! My slower than dial-up desktop is now in the running for my work laptop!! Dumping the stuff that doesn't need to be there on startup, excellent how-tos, Hippo, etc. Dang!! Bless you!!
Vickie @ Feb 13th 2009 10:36AM
If it works for you great, if not try something else, but people this world is full of enough hate and violence that we should not be using more to atack fellow users of the internet no matter where they come from or how they spell. People make mistakes and if you can walk on water great but I don't think so! Also I tried most of what was written and it really works great (most of the stuff ). Everyone have a wonderful day and make peace NOT war!
andrew @ Feb 13th 2009 5:25PM
Turning off aol and all its other hidden programs sppeds up my computer drastically its a shame they forgot to mention the best step.
CKParks @ Feb 13th 2009 6:49PM
Anytime you read an add that says FREE theres always a catch...be sure to read EVERYTHING before you say ok..Even if it says 30 Days...they can charge at anytime so you do not have time to cancel....Be carefull out there all of you!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dee @ Feb 13th 2009 8:06PM
I am wanting to turn off the Norton, I have an antivirus cd I want to install, but can't because of Norton. Any suggestions?
Bill @ Feb 15th 2009 2:47PM
You can remove Norton by browsing the internet for the Norton Removal Tool for your version. Download it, and run it to remove all the Norton files. Once completed, you can use your CD to install your other Anti-Virus software.
Hope this helps.
