I'm going to apologize beforehand. I'm sorry... but... this is going to take awhile to explain. Bear with me.
As you can tell... I'm having problems with my laptop. But there's more to it then just that.
It all started last Friday....
I wasn't doing anything I don't normally do every week. Then... all of a sudden... a pop-up appeared in the lower right hand corner saying that I was running out of hard disk space!! WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wasn't doing anything I don't normally do!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*coughs*
I'm done yelling.
Anyway. I quit what I was doing, and restarted my laptop. Still the same. So... I got rid of some programs... then... downloaded a virus program thinking it would help. Oh yeah... that worked... (/sarcasm) It helped out a bit... but not much. I cleaned up my hard disk and I got my memory back and more... but... geez!!!! Like I said... it was something I did every week. No different than any other week. Yet it did it anyway.
The memory I had before it happened I think was 1.16 GB or so. Then... after it happened... it went all the way down to 100 MB or so. After these fixes... it got back up to 800-900 MB after the virus software download. After the cleaned hard disk... I now have 1.21 GB.
But now... my laptop doesn't load as fast as it used to. Ugh... I don't know what to do anymore. I'm at a loss.
So... any advice? Oh... and can someone tell me what happened? Because I sure as hell have no idea, whatsoever, what happened to my laptop. Also... if you know what happened... can you tell me how to prevent it from happening again? One last thing, I swear. How can I get my laptop to load back at it's regular speed again?
Someone help me out here... please... I'm desprit....
Thanks.
