    Hello,

    lol, Like I said I start feel that vista become slow after 5 months of use! because I install and uninstall alot of programes and they keep some files and reg craps, alos the space start be low even after uninstall the programe and delete it from programe file... also the boot time start be slower, and the errors start show up, also some programes still in the uninstall list but they don't have files, also some temps files in every were I don't know were they are or what they do...

    SO I was wondering If I can clean the windows and back it like brand new.. because I hate format, my harddisk formated like 1000 time or less or more I don't rember! I format every time! I start hate it now...

    So any fix.?

    Well you could try defragmenting the harddrive. (it sorts all the files in the right order so programs starts faster, but takes damn long time to run a defrag).
    And then maybe some sort of program to clean up windows registry file, so it stops searching for programs that doesn´t exist, but windows still belives does = a little quicker startup.

    I personally use Advanced Uninstaller Pro to monitor all my installations/uninstall them again.
    The name is somewhat misleading though, because... as you'll see from it's description... it's a whole lot more than 'just' an uninstaller :idea:
    It has a Startup Manager, a Quick Cleaner, a Registry cleaner, a defragmenter and optimizer, and a few other handy bits 'n' bobs :rock:

    Besides that though... I also use TweakNow RegCleaner Pro on a regular basis, to check/sort/'fix' my registry... and the ever useful/invaluable CCleaner (Crap Cleaner).

    Together with a defragment once a week/fortnight (depending on how many program trials/games demos etc I install/uninstall)... my system is pretty much as quick as it's ever gonna be I reckon ;)

    Hazardous that looks like just the thing I need to defrag my drives :) Vista only does them all or none, which took over 6 hours last time.

    also, CCleaner is a must, it cleans registry, lets you select start up programme and also cleans all other crap.

    I use CCleaner all the time, brilliant program, helps me keep an eye on everything, and is faster/easy to use to clean temp files/cookies. :dremel:

    P.S its Cache Cleaner.
