Reply #3: Some things I do for computer maintance that sometimes helps [View All]

We too have a 3+ year olf HP. Stillw orks great, fast and efficient.
I use Advanced Ssytem Care, the free version and run it once a week along with cleaning the cache and temp files
Doing this and defrag seems to get everything back inline.
Not sure if this will help you, but I have rarely had any serious issues by doing this reguarly. The most recent though was iTunes not laoding for my wife's new Itouch, I unintalled and cleaned the registry and reinstalled, and it works like a dream.
I'm sure other, more thecy people may have some even better ideas/suggestions, but this is my 2 cents for what it's worth.
