3 May 2010, 12:00 am

Is your computer taking a long time to do anything at all, does it take so long to open documents or run programs that you just give up and restart the computer?

Does it keep popping up with error messages all over the place? If it does you can increase slow computer speed by following some simple steps. No Matter what version of windows you have.

Every program you install leaves an entry in the registry, every time you remove a program the entries are usually left behind, the same applies to everything that is installed under your computer slows down to a crawl.

Here are some steps to follow to make your computer fly and speed up slow computer speed.

1. Remove any programs you do not use, remove any files, pictures and any documents you never use. All this takes up space on your hard drive and all these unused programs slow down your computer.

 



2. Defragment your hard drive. When windows installs programs it throws bits of them all over the place on the hard drive and the bigger the program the slower it will run. Defragmenting the hard disk puts all the files in order so the computer speeds up. You can do this with the built in windows program for this in system tools.

3. Run a registry scan. This will tell you what registry entries can be removed, including the ones for the programs you have just removed, it will fix entries and even tell you what other files can be removed that are causing errors and you can fix all this with one click.

Following these steps will make your computer run faster, start up faster and remove any problems that could stop windows starting up or working correctly and will speed up slow computer speed right away.
