Hi Scorpio012,

Are you having any specific problems, or did you just run the test to see what it would look like? Also, would you tell me which of the test options you used (quick, complete, symptom, hardware, software).

under all programs, accessories, program tools, try the disk clean-up feature. Then try disk defragmenter. Download the latest security patches from dell AND your antivirus program. Also try checking just what cookies are being saved by your internet service provider. The drive corruption? Unless something is not working, don't fix it!!! One good program I have on my xp is OLD TIMER version 3.1.9.0 and also I use Piriforms cc cleaner version 3.28.1913*****Hope this has been of some help. Usually a lot of temporary internet files can really clog up the works. As far as registry problems, thmost of those are probably just programs you have uninstalled over the years, and the shotcuts are still showing up with nowhere to go. There are programs for free that wil delete a lot of registry problems like that, I don't know of any offhand. Be careful of what you download, wait and see if anyone on here has had good experiences with a particular program. Hope all this helps!

Try OLD TIMER.com and cc cleaner.com

No not any specific problems, it just seemed as if everything was working slower than it usually does. I had used the Quick option for the test. Thanks for taking the time to answer my question. If you have any other advice I would appreciate it very much. Someone has also replied and had suggested that I used a cleaner and I've forgotten which one he has suggested, I'll have to go back and copy it down.

Good Luck. I've been cleaning up my leftover internet files that way for a long time on my old !@ years) dell 4550 with xp. Good Luck!

Thank you for all that information! I will try all that you've suggested and thanks again.

The registry cleaner I have used is CCLEANER. Free!
