Personally, I hate this website. The majority of questions are either horribly worded, incredibly easy to answer on one's own with the use of widely available resources (including, but not limited to, www.google.com), alterations of a very common question, or a combination of the three. I confuse myself sometimes as to why I continue to read random questions, only to be to be driven insane by the utter disregard for the reader of the question. Maybe I just use this website as an outlet for my rage towards the section of teenagers who upset me the most, or possibly it is just ingrained in my psyche to read over poorly spelled questions to fuel my masochistic personality. I might even be staying here to prevent the overtake of this hapless corner of the internet by ignorant and lazy teenage girls that don't know how to say "yes" to someone who asked her out by the use of common sense and correct grammar.
I have, however, found that reading topic specific questions eliminates most of my frustration. Of course, that still doesn't stop me from running into unbelievably ignorant questions such as "does doing squats really make your theighs smaller?" in the INTERNET AND WEB DESIGN topic list.

I got a DELL 2400 bout a month ago and I have installed MSN 7.5 and my computer is running slower. I have about 89% free space on my hard disk. What can I do to make it run faster??? Thanks! (link)

Theres a very good chance that your computer came bogged down with unnecessary software. And merely judging by the wording of your question, I would say that you already have spyware, adware, or viruses on your computer. There are a couple things you can do to combat that.
Get Adaware and regularly scan for spyware/adware.

Get AVG Free and scan your computer for viruses.

Use a browser other than Internet Explorer that stops popups and blocks malicious scripts. IE is very poor when it comes to security.
Free download: http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-1.0.7&os=win&lang=en-US
Firefox is by far my favorite browser, and should keep your computer running smoothly by blocking what adaware or AVG hasn't picked up yet. It has an import feature to copy your settings from IE to Firefox, so the transition between browsers should run smoothly.
