    My laptop has been crashing a lot. I figured its just old. I did a virus scan and defragged some stuff. It seemed to increase performance but I can't play many games for very long without my laptop crashing. I've attached the BSOD and W7F Diagnostic. Maybe this info will help too: Dell XPS...

    Windows 7 Computer deleting free dpace

    I'm curious why Revo shows 8 less program installations, than Programs And Features does on my computer. Among the missing are all 3 O&O programs I have installed (Defrag, DriveLED & Disk Recovery). Why does Revo not list all of the software in Programs And Feature?

  19. Windows 7 What is my computer (hard drive) doing now?- I can hear it working

    When you defrag your computer you can hear the hard drive running as it changes files back and forth. At times I can hear the same sound (or similar) but have no clue what it can possibly be doing. My 1st instinct is to unplug my internet connection should someone be hacking in my PC and using...
  20. Windows 7 To Defrag or Not To Defrag

    Anytime I create a backup with True Image, and then analyze it with O&O Defrag, it always shows the entire backup as being fragmented. I have always let it remain that way, because long ago I asked about this somewhere (can't remember now), and was told it was better not to defrag it. However...
