Alright guys i don't know a lot about a computer but I know a lot more than most people I know. My question is, every computer i get the longer i use it the slower it gets eventually. I just bought a HP dv8000 laptop last May and lately it is getting a little slower. I do download music (I have 1800 songs) but that is about all that I download. I defrag and cleanup my computer every now and again and that seems to help but it still doesn't run like it did when i bought it. I think i've heard you can remove your temp files (don't know exactly what that is) and other things to help my computer run faster but i don't know how to do that stuff. Is this just normal and i'm SOL or is there something I can do? Thanks in advance for any help.

Backup anything you want to keep on a burnt CD/DVD and then reformat. It will run like new.

download CCleaner and run it, it will remove alot of junk fast and then do the registry cleaner too, that will help some
