• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Glad to hear the repair turned out to be a cheapo.
I guess that means yer buying the beer tonight too eh? :ernaehrung004:

- now have Mrs Rami yank that "lucky horseshoe" outta yer butt & polish it up real nice ..... for the next time you'll need it !!

Maybe try that old trick when the performance of a PC is less than "snappy":

Disconnect all external H/Ds.

Run: a complete "Disk Clean-up" all the way thru to: Delete all except the most recent "restore point."

Using "CCleaner" - over-write the existing "free space" of C Drive, 1x - including the "alternate data streams" & "cluster tips."

Then defrag & reboot.

Recheck MB - does it work better?

Also: Some things just never change

- always maintain a MINIMUM of 40% of free space on ANY mechanical H/D (dunno about ssd's) otherwise you will suffer a noticeable degradation in performance.

True in 1999 ... and still true today; even on WD Black series H/D's I've seen - starts around 37-38%.

Herr Durt,

1) The WD External drive has 5.47 of 7.27 TB free, so we don't need to worry about space right now.

2) The MB issue has been a problem on my desktop for years, and I have tried that suggested method of yours several times. The MB program loads quickly, but zooming in and out, as well as placing of objects is painfully slow. Only, it does not happen on my laptop, and I have basically the same OS, and the same BitDefender version and settings. :dizzy:

He could be. I do remember (quite a few years back) when I removed a carburetor from a v-8 engine, he was the guy that dropped a mounting screw down and into the intake manifold. Did I cuss him then !!!!!
