Fix Windows Vista Performance Issues - How to Speed Up Windows Vista Quickly

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 13:58:00 +0000

Why is your windows Vista computer running so slow? If your computer is constantly pausing and you keep getting strange error messages popping up all over the screen you can do something about it. The most common causes of these errors are a corrupt registry.

The registry carries information on the configuration of the computer. Everything from drivers, hardware and program information is contained in it. If the wrong key or entry becomes corrupt windows vista will not start.

There are several reasons for this and different forms this corruption takes. Before you fix any problems knowing what is causing them can stop them happening again and keep your computer running as fast as it possibly can.

As you install and remove software all the time the registry increases in size. Most of the time when programs and files are removed the registry is not updated and these entries remain there. This eventually slows windows vista down.

Malicious adware and spyware take up residence in your registry as well. No matter how they have installed on your computer you will find them, because they must have registry entries to enable them to work. These cause pop ups, slow the computer to a crawl and spy on what you are doing. In the worst cases they are actively collecting your credit card information and anything else you store or enter on your computer.

You can fix all of these errors quickly. No technical knowledge is needed or any expensive visits by a computer technician.

Carry out these three steps to ensure your windows vista computer is running at lightning speed.

#1 Run windows update. This is critical for windows vista as there were many issues with the first release of it that had an effect on performance.

#2 Remove any unwanted or unused programs and files from your computer. This will not just free up space but will make your computer start up faster.

#3 Run a free registry scan. This will let you know quickly if there is a problem with the registry. Nine times out of ten there are many invalid entries, spyware entries and junk in there.

Speed up windows Vista and protect yourself from malicious software. Run a free registry scan now.

How to Fix a Slow Vista File Transfer

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Fri, 14 Aug 2009 12:22:00 +0000

Since Microsoft Vista's release, it has been the victim of unfavorable comparisons to Microsoft XP in terms of speed. One of the most common complaints is that file transfer speeds---whether you're moving a large file from one folder to another, or one computer to another---is far slower than it should be. Luckily, there are a handful of easy-to-implement steps that will cut file transfer times in half or eliminate them completely.

Step 1

Turn off Vista's search indexing function, which runs in the background of your computer at random times and slows things down noticeably. Click on the Start Menu, and in the search bar, type "Services." Select the program that comes up called "Services." A window will appear; scroll down to the "Windows Search" service. Right-click on it, select "Properties," and next to "Startup Type," select "Disabled." Press "Apply," then "OK." Then, right-click on the "Windows Search" service again and select "Stop."

Step 2

Disable the navigation pane on Vista windows by clicking on the Start menu, selecting "Computer," then the "Organize" button, then the "Layout" option, and then deselecting "Navigation Pane."

Step 3

Give yourself full ownership on your hard drive. (As odd as it sounds, even administrators are not given full ownership rights by default in Vista.) Click on the Start menu, select "Computer," right-click your main hard drive (usually "C:"), select "Properties," then the "Security" tab, then "Advanced," then the "Owner" tab, and finally the "Edit" button. In the window that comes up, the "Current owner" will either not be visible or will be set to "Trusted Installer." Click on "Administrators," check the "Replace owner on subcontainers and objects" box, and then press "Apply." The process will take about 10 minutes but, once finished, is what does the trick for most people with slow transfer times.

Step 4

Obtain the latest service pack for Vista. According to Microsoft, certain hardware configurations can result in slow file transfers between two computers, but Vista service packs have repaired most of these bugs; see Resources below.

How to Fix Your Slow Computer to Run Really Fast

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Wed, 10 Jun 2009 12:44:00 +0000

How to Fix Your Slow Computer to Run Really Fast

Without a doubt today's home PC is faster than ever, so much so that even the slowest brand new computer of today has more horsepower under its hood than all the computing power combined together that was used in running the Apollo Moon Mission! That said, your brand new superfast PC with time will inevitably become a snailing slow computer that will drive you up the wall. Here's why:

Whenever you use your computer, file pieces or file fragments are formed which eventually become dislodged and misplaced from one another. This process of fragmentation occurs because of the continuous and ongoing activity of the addition and the deletion of files on your hard drive whenever your computer is performing a task. Fragmentation ultimately reduces computer performance because processing resources must be allocated to what in effect becomes a seek-n-find operation.

Basically when a file is fragmented the computer must search the entire hard disk any time that file is opened in order to piece together all the various fragments of that file to make it complete. As you can imagine this is a time consuming and labor intensive process that makes a computer run slow and forces it to run and perform in a sluggish manner.

The Process Of Defragmenting

Defragmentation is the process whereby the various different parts of a file are arranged in a contiguous fashion so that the file fragments connect to one another in sequential order until the file is a complete unit once more. Arranging files in this manner speeds up an otherwise slow computer because now that the file fragments are arranged to form a whole the computer can access and retrieve that file so much faster from its hard drive or whichever disk has just been defragmented.

Windows Comes With A Basic Disk Defragmenting Tool That Does Little To Fix A Slow Computer

All windows operating systems come installed with a basic defragmenting tool, which although won't restore your slow computer to its former speedy self will help to improve performance. Getting to the inbuilt Windows defragment tool is quite easy. All you have to do is click on Start then go to Programs, find the Accessories tab (click on that) head to Systems Tools and finally you'll get to the defragment tool. Windows' default defragmenting tool will be listed as Disk Defragmenter.

Whether you are using a third party disk defragmenter or the Windows inbuilt default tool, the process of basic defragmenting your drive is pretty much the same and couldn't be simpler. Just choose whichever drive you wish to defragment (assuming you have more than 1 drive) then click "Defragment". You can choose to analyze the disk first by clicking the "Analyze" button but this is pretty redundant since the defragmenting tool automatically goes through the process of analyzing before defragging anyway.

Windows XP Paging File

There is a hidden file on your computer called the Pagefile.sys which together with the physical amount of RAM installed on your system makes up the Virtual Memory:

Paging file + Physical RAM = Virtual Memory

The paging file is really a relic of the past and its purpose was to boost the amount of actual physical RAM available on any given computer system. You see back in the day when computers were equipped with a "whopping" 64-128 megabytes (MB) of RAM, as software applications became more advanced and at the same time more resource hungry, an alternative means was needed to accommodate the required amount of RAM, until such time that hardware manufactures caught up and produced greater capacity modules of RAM.

RAM, by the way stands for, Random Access Memory and is a hardware component found in your computer as memory modules. These days however, RAM really isn't too much of an issue especially on high-end systems that can easily accommodate 16G or more of RAM. Having said that though, for the average PC owner the prudent management of RAM is still an issue, especially when one takes into account such factors as insatiable operating systems like Windows Vista (need a minimum of 1.5 gigabytes of RAM for Vista to perform at a basic tolerable level) and other resource ravenous software that is the norm of modern day computing.

Anyway back to that dinosaur of yesteryear known as the Paging File; for some reason or other Windows by default still allocates a figure of 1.5 times the physical amount of RAM to the Paging File. In other words:

Physical RAM x 1.5 = Paging File (Virtual Memory)

So in a system such which has 4 gigs of physical RAM installed, the Paging File would take up a shattering 6 gigs of RAM! And that is not the only problem related to the Paging File here's the kicker:

By Default The Paging File Cannot Be Defragmented!

The Paging File despite its designation of "virtual memory" is nothing more than reserved hard drive space to which data is written to and retrieved periodically. By default the paging file is stored on the boot partition of windows which means that the paging file is housed in that portion of Windows that contains the operating system and its respective support folders. There is a huge problem with this situation and that is:

When the Paging File and Operating System are located on the same drive partition simultaneous access to both systems is impossible and access to the one must by necessity await completion of access to the other. This process naturally makes for a very slow computer.

Two Ways To Fix The Paging File Problem And Make Your Slow Computer Faster

1. The Hard Way To Speed Up Your Slow Running Computer

Luckily though there is a way round this bottle-neck situation; by moving the Paging File to a different partition Windows will then be able to handle I/O (input/output) requests faster because the relocation of the Paging File ensures a less competitive environment for reading and writing requests. However do note though that if you completely move the Paging File from the boot partition Windows will be unable to create a dump file (Memory.dmp) with which to write debugging information when a kernel mode Stop Error message occurs.

The way to bypass such an eventuality is to create a paging file that is stored on the boot partition and another paging file that is located on a separate partition. Windows by design will access the paging file located on the non-boot partition first before looking to the paging file housed on the boot partition.

2. The Easy Way To Speed Up Your Slow Running Computer

As you can see the above method is a very complicated and time consuming way to fix a slow computer! Surely there must be an easier and quicker way? Well actually thankfully there is. Click the link below to find out how:

Vista Sp2 - Do You Have To Wait So Long?

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 14:54:00 +0000

Vista Sp2 - Do You Have To Wait So Long?

Almost every Windows' user know that the release of SP2 is the only time worth upgrading their Windows, and I can't agree more. However, if you are getting a new PC, you should get Vista instead of XP, and the reason is simple, you don't want to double pay Microsoft when Vista SP2 release. Let me show you some tips to speed up your Vista, at least until SP2 release.

Tip #1 - Decide on Vista or "XP".

What I really meant is you need to decide whether you want your Vista to be as simple as XP or you want to enjoy more cool features in trade of some stability issues. Because if you want more stability, just turn your Vista into "XP", lose everything else such as Superfetch, ReadyBoost, ReadyDrive, Aero Theme and Windows Defender...

If you prefer the looks and superb support of new hardware by Vista, but in trade of some stability issues, you can tweak accordingly but remains Vista characteristic.

Tip #2 - Use tweak tools, tips and tricks.

Many speed up tools, tips and tricks will help you get over the majority issues in Vista, use them correctly, at least invest on some backup tools and tweaking books.

Tip #3 - Regular updates on Windows, drivers and firmware.

Vista is constantly improving, so check your updates once a week or two. Manufacturer will release updated firmware to help you improve your hardware compatibility, so check and upgrade them frequently.

Tip #4 - Get newest and advanced hardware when possible.

Try to meet Vista requirements when first purchase, do some research on the Internet and don't rely on "Vista Capable" logo. When you get advanced hardware such as the solid state hard disk or the hybrid hard disk, you can expect Vista to boot very fast! This will eliminates some major issues cause by boot up speed.

To help you downgrade your Vista to "XP" or tweak the settings, try "Unleash Vista Power Advance Guide" and some tweaking tools recommended inside.

Is Your Vista Internet Explorer Slow?

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Sun, 31 May 2009 15:06:00 +0000

Is Your Vista Internet Explorer Slow?

Is your Vista Internet Explorer slow? If it is, you probably feel like throwing the computer out the window and never looking at it again. When the IE is slow, it is very difficult to get anything done on the Internet. The pages won't load, the window will freeze, and you'll find that Internet explorer will be full of error messages. When this happens, it means you need to do some house cleaning. If you don't clean up when Internet explorer is very slow, it will be difficult to do anything on your computer. The next thing you know, Windows Vista is telling you to please wait while Windows works to fix the problem. All of a sudden, the program is not responding and Windows isn't fixing the issue.

As for why Internet Explorer is slow, it's because of all of the files that have been stored in your computer along the way. Most of these files are not necessary, which is why you feel slow and poor performance on internet explorer. They camp out in your computer's registry until you do something to get rid of them. Luckily, there are a couple of ways in which you can fix this problem.

So when Internet Explorer is very slow, how do you fix it?

* You can always buy a new computer, but that is something that is not necessary because the computer is not the reason why Internet Explorer is slow. Again, it is all of the garbage that has made a home in your computer's registry.
* You can simply go through and delete the unwanted files one-by-one. This will help when Vista IE is slow because getting rid of any file causing clutter will free up some room. This can be time-consuming, so it is something you need to think about carefully.

# You can take your computer to a professional to help when IE runs slow, but do you really have to pay that kind of money? You can delete the files on your own, so why spend a high dollar amount when this happens? But this isn't the only option.
# You can buy a registry cleaner when Internet Explorer is slow. A registry cleaner, such as RegistryEasy will keep you from having to throw away the computer, take the time to delete files, and pay big bucks to a professional for speeding up Internet explorer.

With a registry cleaner to help when Internet Explorer is slow, you have a safe and affordable solution. You don't have to sit around deleting files one-by-one because that can be a nightmare. That can be almost as much of a nightmare as the internet is not running so well.

With registry cleaner, the software does it all on its own. By the time it is done, your internet explorer will run faster and even your computer will speed up. You'll be able to get back onto your computer and go about your regular activities. And when Internet Explorer is slow again, you have your registry cleaner on standby.

Why Is Windows Vista So Slow?

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Sat, 30 May 2009 15:05:00 +0000

Why Is Windows Vista So Slow?

Dealing with a slow Vista PC is not something most people want to do; especially considering the fact that Vista is the newest and most technologically advanced windows operating system to ever hit the market. However, that doesn't change the fact that many people are forced to deal with a slow vista computer on a regular basis.

As you undoubtedly know by now, a computer running slow makes everything you do longer and usually more difficult -- starting the computer up, shutting it down, installing new software, playing your favorite game, or just trying to surf the web. This sluggishness almost gets to the point where you feel like it isn't worth it any more and you should just spend a few hundred dollars to get the PC repaired by a professional. Well, you should know that professional repairs isn't your only option. In fact, you can likely fix the problem yourself and you can do so without spending a fortune. However, before you can begin to fix the sluggishness of your PC, you have to know what is actually causing it!

Here Are a Few Of The Reasons Why A PC Might Become Sluggish:

* Too many background processes. If you're computer has dozens & dozens of applications running in the background, things will likely slow to a crawl. The more processes that are running, the more of the computer's resources that are used up; the fewer resources available, the more likely your PC is to decrease in speed & reliability.
* Viruses & Spyware. These malicious software programs do whatever they can to impede the performance of your PC. They embed themselves into your computer's systems as deep as they can and cause as much mayhem as they possibly can. Usually, viruses & spyware are at the forefront when it comes to decreased PC speed.
* Startup priority. Sometimes programs/applications take it upon themselves to automatically start-up upon a computer reboot. If dozens of programs & software applications are waiting to start up every time the PC boots up, the computer is highly likely to suffer from a wide range of performance issues.
* Corrupted registry. When your computer's registry fills with errors, it quickly becomes corrupted, thereby leading to severe performance issues. Truth be told, if you have a slow vista PC, it is practically guaranteed that the registry is contributing to the problem in some way.

There are many reasons why a computer might become sluggish and completely unresponsive. Having said that, your best bet is to eliminate what isn't causing the problem in order to more easily find out what is.

Computer errors can be very frustrating! In today's world where more and more people make use of a PC in their daily work, even a minor computer issue can prove to be extremely annoying. Without the computer, you may feel lost and would be unable to adhere to your client's deadlines.

Under these circumstances, a person normally takes a computer to a computer repair shop and pays huge sums of money to get rid of the errors. If you are also one of those who spend a lot of your hard earned dollars to fix a slow PC, it's time you get smart!

Install a good registry cleaner on your PC and make sure errors, slow speeds, freezing, or crashing down of the computer does not bother you. Good cleaning software makes sure of the fact that your PC keeps running smoothly and continues to give you superior performance over the time.

The root cause of any PC errors is problems in the computer's registry, which is a huge database of files, records, settings, and options. With each second of your using the computer, the settings and options in the computer's registry keep changing.

These changes result in some of the settings and options to get lost, be damaged, or become corrupt. The lost or damaged settings cause problems with the computer and are responsible for its slow speeds or freezing down. A good registry cleaner fixes a slow PC through the following ways:

* It first identifies the errors during the scan process. It then reports these errors to you and even fixes them.

Some of these files accumulate in the computer's registry and take up unnecessary space. Over the time, the number of these files can be numerous and can cause extremely poor performance of the PC. A good registry cleaning software deletes all these unnecessary files from the system and significantly improves its performance.

Registry cleaners are the utmost way to fix a slow PC and enable it to give paramount performance.

How to Repair a Slow PC?

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:08:00 +0000

How to Repair a Slow PC?

Having problems of a slow pc? why pay a lot of money to technicians, when you yourself can repair your pc. All you need to have is a good registry cleaner. One of the causes why your pc slows down is a registry problem. The reason why it can cause so many problems is because most of our computers will end up experiencing regular changes in hardware and software components over time which change the relevant data in this database. This will cause the registry to grow in which it will become filled with redundant and erroneous entries which will ultimately have a bad effect on the way that your operating system is able to read information from it.

Apart from making the frequent change to hardware and software, editing system settings and devices drivers in your control panel will subsequently also cause configurations to change in the registry. So if windows has to frequently reference information from this system database you can understand what a negative impact it can have on the way that programs operate and tasks are performed should it become erroneous.

At this point you will start to suffer from symptoms like annoying error messages, declines in system speed and loss in overall functionality. Apart from using pc optimization tools when it comes to fixing this component you can also edit it manually but one has to keep in mind that deleting the incorrect entry can cause your system to crash. Having said this the other more common method is to utilize a free registry cleaner which will automatically and safely do the job for you with the click of a button. Performing continuous maintenance scans to this system component is essential in order to ensure that your pc is kept well optimized and fully functional. RegistryFix Cleaner is a powerful registry cleaner and registry optimizer, it speeds up your PC by cleaning your Windows Registry. Most Common PC Problems:

* PC runs much slower than when you first bought it
* PC crashes for no apparent reason.
* You keep receiving error messages and don't know why.

You need a Reliable Registry Cleaner! By RegistryFix you just need a few mouse clicks and your computer can become as good as a brand new computer. The Registry is at the heart of every Windows computer. The older your PC is, the more junked-up its Registry becomes. Badly written programs (and there are plenty of those around) don't bother to clean the Registry when you uninstall them, and some programs add unnecessary junk to the Registry. The more junked-up your Registry, the more likely it is to crash or to slow down your PC.

This software does a neat job of cleaning out the Registry junk. It scans the Registry, flagging orphaned or bad Registry entries, and shows you the name and values for each. It identifies Registry entries that may be dangerous to delete, and those that are safe to delete, so you can distinguish between the two. It also lets you decide which entries to delete, and which to keep.

Use a Registry Cleaner to Fix Your Slow Computer and Nuke Those Windows Error Messages

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Thu, 21 May 2009 18:07:00 +0000

Use a Registry Cleaner to Fix Your Slow Computer and Nuke Those Windows Error Messages

Computer got you down? Would it be less painful to pull your fingernails out then to try and do anything on your computer? Frustrated by never ending error messages? Thankfully, there is way you can fix your slow computer and nuke those windows error messages - and that is by using a registry cleaner.

An essential part of your Windows operating system, the registry regulates operation of your computer and controls how all of the components of your computer interact with each other - including hardware, software, DLLs, services, processes, etc.

Whenever a change is made to anything within your control panel settings, software, polices, etc. the changes are saved and appended to your registry. Over time, the registry becomes very large and unstable and because your computer references the registry for nearly every single operation or task that it performs, it is easy to understand how your computer can become bogged down and inundated with error messages due to a registry that has become too large and unstable.

This is where a registry cleaner comes in.

A registry cleaner is software that can analyze your registry to find missing, unused, or corrupt entries and then has the ability to repair those entries. Using sophisticated technology, the software essentially searches for remnants of uninstalled applications, outdated settings and policies, spyware programs, etc. and either removes them or fixes them on a case by case basis.

The end result is a registry that is much smaller and stable, making it easier for your operating system to find what it needs in order to perform tasks and operations.

One other tip - if you do end up looking into a registry cleaner to fix your slow computer and get rid of those annoying Windows error messages, make sure you find one that can not only scan and repair your registry, but one that can compact and optimize it as well. This will make a huge difference in your computer's performance.

Click Here to find out what the #1 rated registry cleaner is out on the market today - and get your computer running like new again!

Vista Computer Freezing - Windows Vista Keeps Freezing, How Do I Fix It?

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Wed, 20 May 2009 09:01:00 +0000

Vista Computer Freezing - Windows Vista Keeps Freezing, How Do I Fix It?

Tired of your Vista computer freezing? Want to know how to fix Vista freezing problems? Well you have come to the right place. Computer freezing can be a real pest to deal with. Especially if you had been working on an important document, playing a game, or had saved information you needed. Sometimes whatever you were working on can be lost forever. And this can happen at random times, often completely out of the blue. When Windows Vista keeps freezing you may get the following symptoms:

• Vista completely freezes, not allowing you to do anything. This forces you to have to manually restart your system, causing further damage due to improperly shutting down your computer.

• Windows Vista locks up and shows a blue screen of death. This causes the system to reboot, performing a physical memory dump.

• Whatever program you are using stops working while the mouse seems frozen on the hour glass symbol. This forces you to hit alt/control/delete to fix it.

The #1 cause of Vista computer freezing is running too many programs at once. If this problems occurs when having too many things open then there are really only 2 solutions. Do not run so many programs or purchase additional RAM to meet specific requirements.

If Windows Vista keeps freezing and the problem is not running too many programs, then the issue lies in the registry. The Windows Vista registry controls information to run all software programs and hardware devices.

Often times the registry becomes congested with corrupt files and errors which inhibits your computers ability to communicate effectively. When your system cannot communicate it freezes up.

The only way to fix Vista freezing in this case is to scan your computer for registry errors. I recommend download top flight software that can automate the process for you. This way you will not only stop Vista computer freezing, but also prevent it from happening in the future.

Sick of your computer freezing up? Want to repair computer errors the easy way? Scan your computer for free and fix corrupt registry problems with the #1 registry cleaner on the internet. After scanning your computer, I promise you will be quite surprised by all the errors on your system.

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Tue, 19 May 2009 09:00:00 +0000

How to Repair Your Registry in Order to Fix Your Slow Computer

Why is your computer running slow? A corrupted registry is the reason why. There are a few ways to fix it.

I will look at the way you can fix it on your own. First, you will perform a system restore by doing the following. You will press start, then all problems, then accessories, then system tools, then backup. If you have Vista, the final step will be System Restore.

Once this is up and running, you need to pick a restore point. If you know the date that your computer started running poorly, pick the restore point before that particular date, and then you will follow the prompts.

At this point, your registry should be fixed, although there is a good chance that your computer will still experience problems. There is a good chance there will not be restore points if they were never created in the first place.

If this happens, you will need to edit the registry errors on your own. If you have never done this before, STOP RIGHT NOW! Your computer could be damaged forever if you do not know EXACTLY what you are doing.

The safest method to use is to utilize a registry cleaner program. In fact, even those who know a lot about computers will use a professional registry repair program because of all of the things that can go wrong when you do it on your own. This type of program will automatically back up your registry, find errors and isolate them, fix the problems, and get your computer running the way it is supposed to. In fact, it will even boost the performance of the PC!

Internet Explorer Slow Startup - How to Fix a Slow IE Startup in Minutes

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Wed, 13 May 2009 11:23:00 +0000

Internet Explorer Slow Startup - How to Fix a Slow IE Startup in Minutes

Do you have an Internet Explorer slow startup? Have you been wondering why is my internet explorer so slow? Well do not panic. You do not have to buy a new computer or spend hundreds on costly upgrades. What you need to do is simply tweak your system in order to maximize it's efficiency. I will show you how in this article.

A slow internet explorer startup is caused from the computers inability to effectively communicate information. When you start a program or conduct an action, information is sent through the computer from the hardware to the software. When Internet Explorer is running slow, this means that there is a blockage in the communication lines.

So where is the breakdown in this communication? It occurs in the Windows registry. The Windows registry is one of the most vital and sensitive areas in your computer. The registry serves as the intermediary for communication between software and hardware on your computer.

The older your computer gets, the more clogged and congested the registry gets. The folder gets filled with redundant, corrupt, and broken files that simply slow your computer down considerably. This is also one of the major causes for an Internet Explorer slow startup.

Unfortunately Windows does not have an internal cleaning tool which can fix these types of problems. Really your only choice to speed up IE is installing a registry cleaner program to cleanup the registry.

I have found such a program that can not only fix the IE slow startup, it will speed up the overall performance of your computer tremendously. Try it out yourself and scan your computer below for free.

Want to speed up your Internet Explorer startup? Get an easy fix and scan your computer for free with the best registry clean up software on the internet today.

Spywares.

With more and more browser tools like toolbars and free software downloads online now, this has become one of the most common causes of Windows slowing down. What happens is that when users install free software or toolbars for their browser, hidden programs may be installed and are kept running every time Windows starts. These take up memory resources. One spyware may not do much but when you have more of them, the effect is quite substantial. Download spyware removal tools like Spybots or Adware to address this issue.

Unwanted files.

Cleaning up unwanted temp files, cookies, downloaded programs from browsing the web will help to address some of the issues on pertaining to how to speed up slow Windows XP.

How to Repair a Slow PC and Fix Slow Windows Issues

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Mon, 11 May 2009 11:22:00 +0000

How to Repair a Slow PC and Fix Slow Windows Issues

Every Windows user will sooner or later notice a slow but steady performance degradation of his or her computer.

The first thing people usually do is defragment the hard drive, but this gives only very limited performance improvement (if any at all). The other thing you may have tried ( I know I have!) is to re-install Windows... which means hours and hours of work to get your PC back in its original state... it works, of course, but only for a short period of time!

So, what's going on?

There's 3 main causes as to why your computer is running ever slower:

Cause 1: Windows Registry

The main culprit of poor PC performance is the Windows Registry; the Registry is a database used by Windows to store every detail about your PC's hardware and software configuration. Over time, as new programs are installed, and others are removed, the Registry database becomes dirty and polluted with obsolete data, incorrect reference information, missing links etc. On top of this there may be malicious software out on the Internet trying to install applications, plug-ins or toolbars, which may circumvent normal installation procedures and therefore corrupt the Registry even more. All of this will cause your PC to become unstable, more likely to crash, and run ever more slowly.

-> How to fix it? Tidy and reorganise the Windows Registry!

Cause 2: Your Computer may be infected with viruses, spyware or some other piece of malicious software.

Malicious software can slow down your computer because it may try to record your key strokes or spy on your online activities; it may try to use your computer to distribute all sorts of dubious and illegal content without your knowledge; or it may simply and deliberately corrupt your computer's data and its performance.A proper security product should protect you against all of these dangers. This means that is should have at least the following features and characteristics:

* Anti-Virus: Protection against Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, Spyware, Adware, and any other piece of malicious software
* Firewall: Protection against attempts to get access to your PC over the internet (Firewall)
* Web Site classification: protection against malicious Web Sites
* Parental Control
* Real-time Protection: protection by monitoring all incoming and outgoing communication, not just by scheduled scanning of your files.
* Anti-Spam: Protection against junk mail and spam

-> How to fix it? Install a Quality Security Program!

Cause 3: You may be asking too much of your computer!

Maybe your computer has reached its limits. If your PC is several years old, it may not be able to cope with the newest programs and applications that are very demanding in computer resources. Or maybe you bought your PC way back with Windows 98 pre-installed, and now you are trying to use Windows XP on the same machine...

-> What's the Fix? Remove unused Programs and/or Add More Memory!

Do you have lots of programs installed, that run in the background, taking up resources of your computer? Take a closer look and see if you can remove any programs that you don't use: click on "Start" -> "Control Panel" ->"Add or Remove Programs". Chances are you can clean up your PC quite a bit already. If you do need everything that is installed on your computer, you may need to add more memory.

So called RAM memory is your computer's primary working memory, used for temporary storage of programs and data; this RAM memory is many times faster than your hard disk and adding more of it means your computer can hold more of its data and programs in memory rather than having to go back to the hard disk all the time. Just adding 2 GigaBytes of memory (cost: around $20) will massively improve your PC's performance (make sure to check your PC's user manual for information about how much and which type of memory can be added).

How to Fix Computer Slow Downs, Includes Tips and Tricks

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Sun, 10 May 2009 16:29:00 +0000

How to Fix Computer Slow Downs, Includes Tips and Tricks

The reason why behind computer slow downs is the clutter of useless data, what I mean is that over time PC gets saturated with invalid, corrupted and useless data.

This data represents the left over of the job that we execute day-after-day such as installing and uninstalling software, computer program or even making modifications in the user preferences. These simple tasks will be written on the windows registry system. And these files will get cluttered across time. Therefore to restore them you must dispatch every last illegitimate, corrupt and discarded registry data file.

To perform that you must utilise Registry Cleaner software. These varieties of programs will seek and get rid of entire bad, corrupt and leftover registry files.

A different method to accelerate up your computing machine is to execute a disk defragmenter; this will organize your computer data (files and folders) constructing it very easy to the machine to detect the suitable data. By doing this you will increase your computer speed by as much as twenty percent.

A good method to spare computer memory is to withdraw every last start-up programs (the programs that will begin while windows is loading, often you will encounter icons of the programs following to the windows clock on the left down corner). To dispatch them you will have to go to Start -> Run and type "msconfig". The System Configuration Utility windows will open then you have to navigate to the start-up tab and uncheck all the programs that you do not want to load on start-up (resuming the system possibly necessary). By doing this you will discharge your computer memory by up to thirty percent.

But the best way to speed up your computer is to do a registry cleanup; this will guarantee that your pc will run at its peek performance.

Why is My Computer Running So Slow? Fix Your Slow Running Computer in 3 Steps

noreply@blogger.com (solomon) — Sat, 09 May 2009 16:29:00 +0000

Why is My Computer Running So Slow? Fix Your Slow Running Computer in 3 Steps

Have you been wondering - why is my computer running so slow? Do you feel like you are ready to junk the thing and get a new one? Well save your money. One of the biggest mistakes I see folks making is immediately buying a new system or paying for costly upgrades when they really don't need to. In fact, often times you can fix your slow running computer on your own. So before you do anything, try these three steps and maximize the speed of your existing computer.

• Eliminate unnecessary startup programs. You may or may not be aware, but every new program you install tries to automatically start every time you boot up your system. Sometimes it is even hidden from view. This actually causes the computer to run slow in two ways. First it takes longer for your system to startup. Second it eats up valuable RAM which can cause an overall sluggishness. In order to change this you need to delve into the registry by using the msconfig command. You can also use a program which can do it automatically for you.

• Run your disk defragmentation software. What a disk defragger does is streamline the computers ability to communicate by using more accessible paths. This will help speeding up how the computer communicates which will fix many slow computer problems. Bill Gates recommends you run one every month. I would take his advice here. You can do this manually, or set an automatic schedule with a specific software program.

• Clean up the Windows registry. Whenever someone asks "Why is my computer running slow", I often reply, "when is the last time you cleaned up the registry?" This is often the most frequent cause of a slow computer. Think of the registry as the engine of your system. It break down, gets clogged up, and needs to be optimized. Windows cannot do this on it's own and requires third party software.

Fortunately for those of who are lazy like me, you can download a program which can perform these three tasks. The program is also chock full of other features which will do wonders to speed up computer performance. So before you take your system to the repair shop, try running this program. I promise you won't be asking yourself "why is my computer running so slow" for awhile.

Tired of your sluggish computer? Do you wish it ran less like the tortoise and more like the hare? Did you know you can get your computer running like new with a simple free scan? Speed up your computer with the best registry cleaner on the market.
