thanks psyanne and angelalaine..hehe,yes it helped somehow i've tried on what you've said angelalaine but still it is not as fast as it was before...it still takes few moments to open an application...i even tried to use the prefetch1 in some apps..as some other said..but i also removed it because it is not helping..my computer has tons of files..whew and many apps...you think that affects the slowing startup of my applications??i have some apps like the corel draw 10-11,oracle,macromedia flash,dreamweaver,dev c++,adobe package,tv expert,legato,memories on tv,autocad and many more..some in there are big.. and some games like warcraft 3 frozen throne,reign of chaos,nfs most wanted,nba07,hitman,silent hill 4 i'm still thinking of reformatting my comp...even if i want to,i don't yet have a new hard disk or a usb type hd to use for my back-up..huhu...very sad..because most of the files in my pc are important...it has also plenty of pics,vids... uhm my computer was set-up by my uncle..i think the specs is not as good as other computers have today..because mine was built in year 2004,that was the year my computer reigned...hehe,that time i think my pc has one of the highest specs...and it was running great....haysss..i mean the details of the games was optimal...still it runs smoothly.. ei nweiz guys, i have here the cleaner5 EZ for adobe premiere,,does anyone knows how to use it??and what it's use..
