How to keep your computer clean after watching videos

Postby sensualspirit » 07 Nov 2012 08:48

Hi,

I watch a lot of videos as I no longer have a TV.

Twice tonight the video just stopped towards the end of the show (2 different shows). I just updated to 2.0.4, so I hope that fixes the problem. And when I watched both shows on my laptop (it uses WMP) it didn't crash. I'm on Win 7 on my laptop, & XP Proff on my desktop.

But how does one keep their computer clean after watching so many videos?

I'm not sure what mark videos leave behind that needs to be cleaned up so it doesn't kill the computer, but I'm sure there must be something.

Thank you


Michelle

There is nothing to clean.

Never got a notice that someone responded.

I find it hard to believe that watching videos doesn't affect the computer in some way that something has to be cleaned/run often so the computer doesn't start to cause problems.

Thank you

Well, you may want to remove the videos to make space on the disk, if you are never going to watch them again.

? They aren't on my HD, they are on a stick. This isn't about space.

Anyway, doesn't seem that anyone has the answer. I'll try another forum.

Thank you
