before my computer is fast just like new ones do. i do a lot of stuffs, usually customizing or optimizing. i often download application, freeware and other stuff which i find interesting. but my problem occurred when i was burning something on a cd-r, i was burning it,it was fine but a few minutes it started to freeze time by time i have no choice but to wait until the burning process is complete so i using microsoft word 2007 because i need to complete something. so i waited and then when the burning process is complete the cd was injected. i insert it again to find out if the data was copied. but i found out that the cd was empty i was then confuse. this is the latest activity i was doing while burning. i tried many solutions to this problem, delete some files, defrag, install software that clean my registry and computer. i have no other idea but to continue finding solutions and optimizing my computer. how long my computer will stay slow?i hope some one will be able to answer my problems.[face=Arial][/face] ??) ??) :'( :-/
