If your pc is running poorly or having lots of problems it is a much better option to start from scratch & reinstall Windows.

Gary I'm mostly with norisk on this. I'd be taking regular snapshots of your system using some of the very good utilities available (TrueImage comes to mind), and when needed revert to one of your saved snapshots. Been doing IT for a very long time, and run a team responsible for a very large number of computers within a major Australia research organisation and I'd never advise any body use any of the clean-up "tools" available. Seriously more trouble than they're worth. Something like TrueImage will return your computer to a previous working state within minutes.
