My apologies, I can't seem to find where to start a new thread... moderators, please move this to the right section if you could.

Could someone walk me through how to add effects, titles, and so on?
I need to put together a "movie" from a few photos using various effects, specifically in iMovie.

Thanks, everyone. My PC is running significantly faster now. I just hope I didn't disable anything essential or delete something vital in the process. Cheers, and thanks again.

I've already done that. I ran a "clean" on the temporary files. Now I'm at the memory defragmentation step. Is there actually any point in doing that?

I just finished running the scan in that utility. It flagged several issues.

-software locations 2 errors
-shared programs 1425 errors
-Com/Activex entries 296 error
-startup program list 2 error

Should I go ahead and wipe everything it found, or is there a better way to handle this?

I downloaded that tool already. Are there specific settings I need to tweak, or just run it?

I took a look. Are you referring to the Project Manager and then the processes tab? I have no idea what I'm looking at. It's just a bunch of abbreviations. For example: AspDish.exe, SvcHost.exe.

My PC has been incredibly sluggish over the last couple of days. I know my RAM is low—only 256MB—but everything was running fine until recently. I've already run an Avast scan, and it came up clean. Is there any way to speed this thing up? I read somewhere on a forum that you can clear out certain processes to free up memory. If there's a fix... please don't just suggest a full wipe.
