As I keep adding stuff to my computer and it seems to be clogging up and getting more complicated, it seems to be getting slower. In the past I used to periodically reformat my hard drive and reinstall everything to be sure. But now things are so much more complicated, I can't do that so easily. I have windows xp and there are so many updates, I don't know how to get them back and running if I reformatted. In general my computer just runs slow - programs take longer to start, and simple tasks seem to take longer than they should.
Can anyone make suggetsions as to how I can speed things up without getting a new computer?
Further, with XP can you actually re-format without downloading a truckload of updates? Is this worthwhile?
