Optimization Wizard for windows ME

Recommended Posts

Im looking for a optimization wizard for windows Me. I seem to have trouble with my computer. I freeze a lot and when I restart it doesnt restart but stays in a blank screen and a underscore flashing like its about to restart but doesnt. But if anyone know of a way to improve my computer, let me know. Also I don't have any money to buy stuff to fix this computer or upgrade it so if possible list only free stuff, like freeware and where I can get it. Not sure if we are not a loud to post link to computer ware, but if you can't post it message me through the mail system that Xisto has. I use the maintenance wizard on my windows Me but it's really slow and I don't seem to see the difference. So if any can hook me up with a lot of useful knowlegde and windows me and or freeware to improve my computer please let me know thanks in advance for all the help.

Make copies of ALL your programs & data files..then ..RE-install Windows ME :D If everything runs OK.. your done.. :P If not..There's a very good chance you have a hardware problem causing the freezups. :D Check out my website for solutions. :D Hope this helpsRGPHNXPS- If you need free programs.. checkout the "Links" page at my website also. ;)

I have done most of that, but I cant reinstall windows because I dont have the disc for it. But thanks for the info and I will make sure I got to your site to see if I can get some help out of it. It doesnt seem to freeze all the time but once in a while it will do it and when I restart it, it doesnt restart just goes to a black screen. It suck because I dont know much about computer but Im learning hopefuly I learn a lot from your site. And I hope it helps me fix when ever if wrong with windows me. I hear that ME has a freezing problem but I hope to fix that with help. I dont have a spyware so I cant run that were do I get that. Is it free?? Anyways thanks again for the help.

Your computer has a hardware problem not software.It can be one of these two problems:1 Your computer memory is faulty and need replacing.2 Your hard drive has a lot of bad sectors that need to be mapped out and will need formatting.Or depending on the age of the computer the drive is dying a slow death.

Hi again JohnNitro,

re:

I have done most of that

You need to do ALL of those steps AGAIN in the EXACT ORDER I listed for you.

Even if you can't re-install Win ME.. do ALL of the other steps BEFORE you go mucking around looking for hardware problems.

You can find links to most of the programs I listed for you.. on the "links" page at my website.

Just go step by step.

try contacting microsoft ... i believe they will send you a replacement disc for free (or close to it) if you can prove you owned a copy previously

 

good luck

I don't think I can prove it so, I guess I can't do that. I am going to check out your site as soon as this post is posted. I check out your site and also do all the advice you gave me to do. I have something called cachemen but not sure how to use it, and I ran the wizard for it but not sure what options to pick. I tried a pick and see what happens strategy, lol. But no matter how the set up is it doesn't seem to make a differece in performance, which is a really let down. It's not causeing any problems but since it's not improving the computer performance I think I will uninstall it, unless any of you can help me out with it and tell me how to set it up so it can have a positve effect on my pc. Not sure the computer is dieing becaue it's only about 5 years old. So about the spy ware and the ad ware do you have downloadable file of these on your site because I don't have them on my computer so I can run those. Thanks for the help and advice I'll check out you site as soon as possible. So I hope I get good information if not I'm sure your information will help me. Thanks again.
