Title: Can anyone explain
Post by: rosebud on July 05, 2010, 18:56:42
 my puter in the last 2 weeks has had to delete  "corrupt files" yesterday  was the 2nd time.
Can anyone tell me what this is please & why it happens. I have not had this come up before.  My puter is running very slow also at present ???
Thank you Rosebud.

Could be your hard drive dying, or maybe just got a bit corrupted.

First thing, backup everying you need and then run the error checking...
My Computer > Right Click the drive > Properties > Tools > Check Now.

Also, if you drive is nearly full, worth deleting some stuff to free up some space.

In the meantime, could you copy your precious stuff (photos etc) onto disks, just in case the worst happens before your son gets back?
