Hi,
Have a Win2000 machine, not much ram, 8Gbs of free HD space left.
The computer's slowness has been growing and growing. I run on a regular
basis:
* NAV full scan (once a week)
* Defrag (once a week)
* and lately Ad-Aware and Spybot.
It's gotten so bad that I went an ddeleted all offline content (the user of
that machine was playing an AOL game alot).
So today I noticed that the Recyle Bin icon showed full, but there were no
items, and saying "Empty Recycle Bin" did nothing.
So I went and changed the Virtual Memory size to the bare minimum, rebooted,
was then able to "Empty Recycle Bin" and the icon showed ok.
Reset the VM size to the Windows recommended of 384mb (seems kinda low), and
restarted.
Did it work? Eh....not sure.
I would appreciate any real ideas or links that could help.
Thanks.
