highly highly unlikely :).

its just the wonders of joymax servers

And for Ubuntu Linux? :D

BTW the only reason I can think of that may cause blue screens after a defrag would be that the data has been moved into parts of the hard drive that are corrupted. In that case, chkdsk /f /r C:/ should help.

on mid to lower end pc's this will make a huge difference.

on higher end pc's you probably wont notice this very much :)

depends.

first time you do it on an older pc, it will take agess.

then it speeds up each time, aslong as your pc is kinda clean.

This will NOT improve your performance, You can ONLY improve your PC's performance by upgrading your Hardware(proc,mobo,gfx cards, etc).

This will ony keep your PC in shape.

it will increase performance, not capactity, your thinking of capacity, ie hardware capabilities.

What I mean is ... those programs will only maintain your pc's performance like when you first bought it, and not increase the performance beyong your hardware's capabilities and limitations.


Sorry for my english.

@JKDEFRAG: This might be usefull for no-windows users, but windows has this already as one of the main functions. Anyway, good work there!

This was very helpful, I've been trying to find some good spycleaning freeware for years now.
I have some questions: Do you use a RAM optimizer? Do they actually free up RAM? What do you think about Windows Virtual Memory?
Just some things I've been wondering about

ram optimizers hardly work, they direct memory to the active application more, which windows does fine on its own.

and with virtual memory (paging file), if you have 100gb+ space on your pc, setting your file to 1gig (1024mb) will be fine.

but virtual memory is slow, its okay on applications, but if it kicks in on games, you will lag, as your hardrive is acting like ram sticks, but without the load power.

If we all had new computers, why would we need to run programs like CCleaner and JkDefrag to begin with? :banghead:

The point that the creator of the guide is trying to make is that there are ways to CLEAN UP a messy system to improve performance (in other words, getting the system as close as possible back to its original, out of the box performance).

Please think logically about what a person is saying before attempting to discredit him/her.

To the creator of this guide: Thank you for creating this. The programs that you have recommended have proven to be excellent so far; CCleaner cleaned up over 2gb of crap on my computer! Great job :D

Wow, this guide is definitely a 10/10. ^_^
My computer looked 10x worse than yours on JKDefrag. Plus it removed 2,700 megabytes of stuff when you said it would probably only take away 100 xD It was pretty screwed up, huh? I bet it will run much more smoothly now, thanks!

also, umm how much did it speed up your SRO? maybe 3-4 FPS??

BTW, this is my 100th post :D


I've tried CCleaner and JKDEFRAG or w/e its called and they work fine with 32-bit Vista.

Although I found that the Defrag didn't really do much for me because I have a program on my comp that does a defrag like every week, its a scheduler, its pretty nice :)
