How To Speed Up Your Computer

[Taylor Evans]

Is your Windows computer one of the many that are running slower each
time you start it up or shut it down? Are your programs opening slowly
or does your browser take an inordinate length of time to bring up
pages?
There are a number of solutions to these problems.
First Things First
Before trying the solutions below, you should try the diagnostics and
repair utilities that come with Windows. In all likelihood you will be
asked to run them by any support technician you talk to.
1. Either through the internet options in the control panel or under
the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, delete all browsing history and
cookies.
2. Under Accessories in the programs menu go to System Tools and run
Disk Clean Up.
3. Under Accessories/System Tools, run Disk Defragmenter on each of
the hard drives in your system.
4. Under My Computer go to the hard drive and right click and select
properties. Go to the tools tab and then error checking. Select both
options. If your disk is formatted under NTFS (as most are) the
program will ask you if you want to schedule a check on the next
startup. Click yes and restart your computer. Restart your computer
and sit back and relax. This will take a bit of time depending on the
size of your disk. Repeat this process for each of your hard disks.
Registry
After performing all of the above, you find that the computer is still
running slower then you expect, it is time to consider the Windows
Registry. You probably have all the prerequisite Firewall, Antivirus,
Spyware and Adware programs installed, so the next likely culprit is
the Windows Registry. As you download and/or install software the
Windows Registry is managed to tell the system how to manage the
software. Then when you uninstall software the Windows Registry is
again managed to remove any changes made. Unfortunately, this is not
always managed correctly and the Widows Registry deteriorates.
Fortunately, there are tools available today to correct a corrupted or
bloated Windows Registry. To understand the impact of repairing the

Technical Support
All of the major hardware manufactures offer technical support options
which are usually free within an initial period of time. The technical
support usually comes in several levels of support (experience and
knowledge) and you may have to go through some of these levels before
you find a solution. They may charge for these services later in the
life of the hardware, about the time you may begin experiencing a slow
down. Wait times for this "free" support can be excessive and the
technician should take you through the steps outlined above. If you
have performed these steps ahead of time, you can speed up the process
significantly.
Repair Facilities
If all else fails, then your system may be having hardware problems
and you will have to have a competent repair facility go through your
system. Most of the computer manufactures offer this service for a fee
if the computer is outside of warranty. Today, a number of retailers
(Best Buy, Staples, etc) are offering this service onsite and on
location. But beware, they are not cheap. However, if you have tried
all the solutions above and the performance of your system is still
not up to par, this may be the only choice you have.
