One for the Techies out there...

My PC is a few years old now & is getting slower & slower, what can I do (Without buying a new one) to make it faster again?

Whats involved in re-formatting the whole PC? would this work?

That's usually the best trick, Windoz gets a bit clogged up after a while... You just have to take your time and make sure you backup EVERYTHING you want to hang onto.... Easier if you have another HD in your mashine that isn't running the opperating system... Then just format and start installing sh1t again....

I have another drive I can copy stuff too.

How do you actually reformat a hard-drive?

Suppose i'd have to spend 3 years on windows update afterwards too!!
