How come my computer will barely function after 2 hours of simple tasks?
by wrigty12 on July 30, 2010Q: My Windows Vista Dell Inspiron laptop is running really slow. It is barely functioning for it takes over 2 hours to do the simplest tasks. What is the best way to get my files off this computer and how can I fix the problem?
To get files off the computer, I’d suggest burning them to DVD, copying them to a USB Thumb Drive, and/or uploading them to an on-line file storage service like http://www.dropbox.com
