Depending on what you use you laptop for, you might want to try out a new operating system instead of a tune up. Linux is available in many free flavors. Try one, you might just like it. Tune ups not required.
Take a look ---> Ubuntu
Frog,
A friend showed me how to install my op system (Windows 98) via DOS, where it can be re-installed by a simple command, and about 20 minutes of time, no disc reqired, no drivers to locate and install. I don't know if this method can be used on newer op systems.
Since I don't know very much about these new fangled things, whenever mine starts getting squirley, I just re-install.
You didn't say what op system you have , but if it is old like mine, maybe you could get someone to show you how to do that.
