Not sure if this is the appropriate place, but caught Nalgenie's description of the computer "crash" and thought I would pipe in. It doesn't take to long, particularly at sites like these casinos for your Cache's (and registries) to fill up with clutter. Often we are installing a new casino, realising we dont want it, then uninstalling. Each and every time it leaves little tracks in/on your computer until the computer slows to a dead crawl or stop.
There is a free program that clears all of that away. It has been reviewed by CNET, Majorgeeks and other tech sites and is probably one of the most used tools I have on my computer. it is called "CCleaner". With one click (you can add it as option on recycle bin) it dumps all internet caches, cookies, recent documents, searches etc and so much more. it can do true deletions of the stuff in your recycle bin to make it 100% non recoverable (very useful for sensitive material like account info) using an option to overwrite 7 times (Dept of Defense grade wipe).
Their is also an onboard registry cleaner that will review your registry and find all those tidbits left behind from loading/unloading programs that no longer point anywhere. these are important to remove because your computer has to "look" at each of them before moving on to the task you told it... if it goes nowhere, that is time wasted.... a couple thousand of those deadend "looks" can have you drumming your fingers and waiting for your "slow" computer.
I am not sure on posting a link here so will just say google ccleaner, or go to majorgeeks website and search ccleaner and download. If you run it only once a week I Bet your computer is twice as quick as it is now. I run mine daily.
