I have a laptop which has Windows Vista.
Lately, I've been trying to clean it but it freezes. It starts, show the icons but if i want to open internet or control panel, it takes hours and when it finally opens up, it does no work.
Any suggestion on how to clean it up.
Computer does not have any files (pictures, word, etc) other than the original set up

If the computer does not have anything on it, I would just go ahead and do a system restore either using your restore CDs if you have them or using the systems recovery partition if it's a newer computer. I wrote a little about doing a system restore using the restore partition here: www.kmctechguy.com/forums/general/70-res...uter-without-cd.html

If after doing a clean install, your system still seems like it is running slow, it most likely indicates that you have a hardware problem. You can read more about some issues I posted that may be causing you to have a slow computer here: http://www.kmctechguy.com/forums/general/50-slow-computer.html

If you do have a hardware problem, it could be a memory issue, CPU, or hard drive. To test your memory, there is a great free program called mem86. You can read about it on their website http://www.memtest86.com/.

If this is too confusing or if you still think you need help, I can always come by and do on site support or you can drop the computer off at my place. Let me know how it goes. Hope this info helps.
