Computer running real slow. Tried Vista disk cleaning but attempts to fix error not working. How can I speed up PC?

My computer is running really really slow. I did a Microsoft help search and I see performance recommendations to do a disk cleanup and disk defrag. Neither works on my computer. 
Maybe I'm not on the right track. I went to support.microsoft.com and followed several instructions to go to cmd and type in some words.
This is the message I get when I try to run disk clean:
Advanced INF Installer,
OE? rror? unreeisterine nhe OCX C:\Windows\syntem32\20-20--
TechnologiesI\3D Viewer\2020Player_4_5_2-O.dII 
 After I select ok, I get this message:
Advanced INF Installer
INF Install failure. Reason: Access is denied. 
I followed the instruction at support.microsoft.com  form for why do I receive an advance INF error. That did not work
Mon 4/8/14 at 1:46 pm I did this: vista-performance inf install failure  (it didn't take me anywhere) so I tried this:
 support.microsoft.com/kb/929833/en-us  ( I did this at 1:54 pm) . I got this message:

Then I did this:   After cmd I entered
findstr      /c:"[SR]" %windir%\Logs\CBS\CBS.log      >"%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt" 
but I got the message cannot open CBS      log.
I then did a restart and tried disk cleanup again, got the same message. 
I finally send Microsoft a help request.

    Hi
    In the first instance, I'd use Onyx and run through its sequence of maintenance and tune up tools:
    Verify, Maintenance, Cleaning.
    I'd also reset the SMC and PRAM (Google them)
    If that doesn't help then I'd look at System Preferences.. > Accounts > Login Items tab (not Login Options).  Check what processes get started at login and decide which ones you don't want.
    After that I'd use Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor to see if any processes are using a lot of computer power or if anything else nasty might be happening.
    If none of this helped then my final step would be to reinstall OS X.

    My Iphone 4 suddenly blackout and restart by itself. After that it reach the restore screen. Tried to do restore but it come out Error (9). Anyone can help?
    I tried to restore in normal mode and DFU mode, both of it still give me error (9).
    I tried using other cable and computer but it still the same.
    Anyone out there having the same issue that can share?
    Is this a hardware or software issue? My warranty already over and have to solve this problem by myself.
    Please help.

    Did you check your security software settings?
    Error 9: This error occurs when the device unexpectedly drops off the USB bus and communication stops. This can occur if the device is manually disconnected during the restore process. This issue can be resolved by performing USB isolation troubleshooting, using a different USB dock-connector cable, trying another USB port, restoring on another computer, or by eliminating conflicts from third-party security software.

  • I have been creating a document in numbers on my iPhone and synced to iCloud. Now I cannot open it, and when trying to download via browser I get an error message. How can I recover this document?

    Dear all,
    I have created a document on my iPhone, and stored it on iCloud. I have updated the document both on my iPhone and on my iPad. Now, I cannot open the document on my iPhone anymore, even a reset of the phone did not help. Via iPad I also cannot open the file, and when I try to download it to my PC via icloud.com I get an error message.I suspect that the file has become corrupt as I have updated it on the iPhone while I did not have network connectivity.
    I have two questions:
    1.) Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?
    2.) What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
    3.) Does the iPhone sync changes to iCloud in the background or does the application need to be active?
    Thank you,
    Niftan

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
    The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
    My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • Iphone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore, only option available now is to "restore and update" however this will not work, how can you restore from a backup once in recovery mode and only option is "restore and upgrade"? Please help!

    iPhone 4 went into recovery mode when trying to restore it. Now the only option iTunes allows is for "restore & upgrade", it is not offer an option to restore from a backup, says that must first do the upgrade, when attempting to do the upgrade the iPhone won't accept it.
    How can I restore from a back up in recovery mode when the only option is "restore and upgrade"?
    Please help.

    You don't you must restore your phone first and then you will have the option to restore from your backup.

  • App store icon not working--how can I download app store...tried the process as described on the Mac page...didn't find the update or download.

    My app store icon is not working. Went to Mac page of Apple store to find a new download for it and the process didn't work. No new downloads found.
    Any ideas ?

    Hi James...
    The only way to reinstall the App Store is by downloadiing and installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
    Restart your Mac after the update is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8.

  • I've tried to fix as per your FAQ instructions, but Zeon does not work, how can I make ADOBE my default to bypass ZEON?

    I can not open many things b/c Zeon Plus doesn't work. It is not shown when I open/check current plug-ins - it's listed as unknown. I would prefer to have Adobe, as it doesn't crash all the time. How can I change this?

    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • I am told I have 6 viruses. I am trying to buy softward, but all three cards are declined. How can I protect my computer?

    I am trying to buy a mac protector. My computer is telling me I have 6 viruses. I am shocked b/c I thought Mac didn't get them, but anyway, every credit card I own is being declined.  Help me...I am trying to save my computer.

    Your Mac does not have any viruses. There are no viruses that affect or infect OS X, not one.
    You have fallen for a trick, which is called social engineering. This is malware - a trojan, and a phishing scam to get your credit card number to take your credit card account to the cleaners.

  • I was receiving error messages when my computer started up. It says MSVCR80.dll is missing. I attempted to reinstall iTunes but it keeps showing error installing. How can I reinstall iTunes?

    I cannot update iTunes. It is giving me a error each time I tried. Upon turning on my computer I get a error message the MSVCR80.dll is missing. Thank you for any help you can provide me.

    Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components, or run the process multiple times; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.
