I wish I could de-frag it.
But I’m not the admin. on here and I have so many password blocks it unbelievable.
Haha.
Like you may have seen me say around on this site.
I’m lethal to a computer… after all, I did catch one on fire (tower part).
*sigh*
How would I try clearing old files in Paint when I can’t access it?

Try adding more RAM to perk up it’s performance.

Download another defrag program and use that.

maybe if your computer is more than a few years old, its time to just get a new one. the worst things you can do on your computer is download and play online games and download free music cause it thrashes the hard drive. so if you do anything like that you’ll probably have major problems no matter what you do.

If your PC seems like its slowing down or having a hard time surfing the web or just doesn’t seem right.
You should go to http://download.com and get these programs.
AD-Aware: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4.htm…
Spybot search and destroy: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Search…
CCleaner: http://www.download.com/CCleaner/3000…
and and if you dont have an Antivirus program you can use
Avast: http://www.download.com/Avast-Home-Ed…
or AVG: http://www.download.com/AVG-Anti-Viru…
and for your firewall a good program is
Zone Alarm: http://www.download.com/ZoneAlarm-Fir…
Install these programs and run them regulary. This will keep your system clean and running properly. These programs are free and Download.com is a part of CNET (the site that your posting on right now). Hope this helps :-)

Good ole Clue, posting the uber message to solve all tech problems.

Obviously your computer has other problems .. but besides that .. drop MSPaint and grab GIMP:

It’s free .. spyware/adware/malware free and light years ahead of Paint .. really just about as good as Photoshop.

help.mod, rock on! Gimp ftw!
