Clearing my registry? anyone know how to do this?? and is it worth doing? Is that even a correct term? ijdk
I'm not computer savvy so if you know give me instructions or link me to some info.. all I can find is programs I don't want to pay for if I can do it without one.

Or anything else I can do to clear out useless things I don't need to have would also be good to know.. all I know about is defragging your disc now and again but that doesn't seem to do much of anything.

Do no clean your registry. It does not help your computer or windows in any way.

Does anything help short of buying a new computer? Or how do I diagnose that the stuff in my computer already is still working properly??
In device manager it says everything is fine but it's been running like shit lately and I can't figure out why..

Defragmentation might be what you're looking for.

It is probably something else. Slowly dying HDD, cable issues, who knows, the described symptoms are too generic.

Because he's a fag, you made that pretty prominent in your post about him being a fag.

Yeah this is my problem. I don't know how to figure out whats broken lol. I think I'll just start to make a new one.. this one is getting olde anyways and if I can't fix it I may as well.

Is it true if you make a facebook account it CANNOT be deleted no matter what you do? Someone told me that and I saw it on south park (I think) so it's gotta be true rite??

They're changing it; information is stored server-side on FB and even after you delete your acct. your details are saved there.

It's getting better like I said though. They've mapped out instructions on how to delete your acct. It's not like people will be able to see it if you cancel your stuff, but FB will still have the info. I don't let anything stupid get on my FB so I don't worry about too much.

They say it's so you can re-start easier if you delete your acct. but yeah. Hence why you will never see my personal stuff (except photos) on there.

I'm against people posting personal info on there and I can't believe some shit people to put. I won't even put my cell number on there.
