Can anyone tell me a way to make my laptop run faster?
i really need it

recyle the stuff in your recycle bin or do this

I got a few tricks up my sleeve I like to use:

1: CCleaner! It's a great tool to clean your computer of the worthless things stored in your drive. piriform.com

2: Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter or/and Disk Cleanup
The Defragmenter and the cleanup are great ways to also speed up your computer, the defrag organizes your files so there's less clutter in your drive while the clean up cleans out useless files [though CCleaner does more cleaning than this, its still good to use this tool to get what CCleaner missed].

3:Go to Start > Run [for Windows 7, search run] > type "%temp%" [no quotations] then hit ok

It will bring you to your temporary folder, hit ctrl + A at the same time to highlight it then throw it all in the recycle bin [if there are files still in use, don't delete them!].

Save the stuff you *really* need and reformat. It's what I would do, since I'm lazy.

How do i know if im using them or not?

It is a temporary folder, its made for files to be put there for temporary use then when your not using it, its worthless, the files in the folder are going to be deleted sometime, and it can hold a lot in there [don't delete the folder of course!] and dont delete the files it says are in use, just delete the unused ones.

so CCleaners the same as doing that right?

If you dont want to clean your internet passwords, cookies, history, etc. I use that way to speed it up with out getting rid of that stuff [at that time]

My computer was completely revived using two programs
Ad-Aware, and AVG Internet Security 2011

Hmm, speed can depend, hardware can affect, in fact almost everything can effect it.
