[QUOTE="WanderlustTime, post: 1647631, member: 346751"] OK thank you for the responses! My HD is 160 GB with about 20 GB free, so that may be a problem. It's also just old (2011) though and probably really fragmented. Honestly I don't really know what that means, only that is is a problem that makes the computer run slowly. Do you have any suggestions about how to go about defragging my HD? I have all my important data backed up on an external HD, so it really doesn't matter if I get rid of all the data on the computer. I just want it to work better :) The computer has been showing the color wheel way too much lately, making it hard to do pretty much anything. [/QUOTE]
