Title: What is rubbish and what is not
Post by: Broadback on Sep 24, 2012, 15:38:06
As some of you may remember I had problems with my m/c that necessitated a rebuild to factory version. I now have it back fully (I think), with no FF and no lock-ups. Now the thing is, looking at programs, there seems to be an awful lot that I have never used and do not know what they are for. Is there any way of cleaning this mess up, bearing in mind that some may be necessary and in my ignorance I do not know it?

Yeah, whenever someone asks me to look at their PC (usually speed issues) it forms part of my toolbox, simply because it does what it says on the tin.

Glad it helped you :)
