Yeah I keep everything backed up already.

And just allowed an automatic Microsoft update thing

If you've backed everything up, then I would either format the drive and fresh install, oh and also partition the drive, so you keep windows on one part and every hung else on the other........ Or better would be to get a new drive and fresh install.

To be honest, I'm not real keen on doing much to it myself as I have no idea what I'm doing and it'll probably end up worse lol.
How is the best way to find out if it's running too many processes in the background? As I mentioned earlier it's running 90 processes with nothing open. Would this be causing it to go slow?
I'm not real keen on trying to partition etc etc. Im scared enough just trying to attempt a fresh install. Ive backed up all my pics and vids, is there anything else I should back up like passwords etc?

I used Team Viewer to support my Customers which is just like being in front of their Computer.
It is free for personal use
If Lucas is happy to let Rusty Nail access to his Computer he could do a full restore for Lucas
Needs to be installed on both Computers
http://www.teamviewer.com/en/index.aspx
Just realised that it might not work for a reinstall of a Operating System as teamviewer would be uninstalled in the process

team viewer is a great program bob, however it is not suitable for this application, it needs to be run from within windows and to fix lucas's problems he would need to reinstall windows fully not just a restore. the best i can offer is to talk him through it over the phone. its really straight forward, and once you take care of the begining the computer will do it all itself.

The HP restore wipes the whole drive, and restores and lappy as it was when he bought it, including the devices drivers. If you do a simple windows install, don't forget you'll have to manually install drivers.
