You might also want to look for application program duplication or overlapping versions.

Clean out your Inbox, Sent, and Trash folders from your e-mail client program.

At least once a week, make a point to back up your data. If critical data is present, it is a good idea to perform a daily backup.

Use or schedule System Restore to take a system snapshot periodically.

Note:

Always take a system snapshot before installing new drivers, updating software, or installing new software.

Update device drivers and BIOS when needed.

Profile your machine at http://consumersupport.lenovo.com to keep up to date with current drivers and revisions.
