how can i increase the speed of my computer???????

Question

any software please?

Answer 1

try this if you have windows xp - do not need extra software that usualyy slows down you computer more - xp has got some decent utilities to help you out

+spyware sweepers for your computer - download from www.download.com - trusted site and will not have any false positive programs on there - they test them you know - when doing a scan turn off the automatic retore points

+ do a disk clean up - click on start then all programs > assessories > system tools > then disk cleanup

+ yes do a defrag BUT do it in safemode because not so many programs running in the back ground (when starting up press the f5 or f8 - select the safemode) again under safemode

+ check the programs that startup when windows start - these may be running in the background and will slow down your computer - click start then run - type msconfig - click on the tab for startup - this should produce a list with ticks in it - these are the programs that start when windows start (this process is totally reversable) you can disable what you wnat you can create a short cut on your desktop instead- try disabling them alll then click ok and restart - I bet this will speed up you computer - try to leave the you anti virus etc running - do you need any of these - if you don't know what any of these startup programs are or system files - just type the file into google

+ Get some more ram

+ do a check on your hard drive for bad sectors - goto my computer - right click on the hard drive - then properties - then tools - then check your hard drive for errors - make sure that both the check boxes are checked - you'll get a error then restart - this will take a while

+ do a system file check - click start > run > type sfc /scannow

+ check in the eventviewer for clues to see if anything is throwing out error codes > start > run > type eventvwr.msc - look under the application and system - look for any errors or warnings (double click on them)- again google the results

The next part only if you are comfortable with the computer
+ if you are comfortable with the registry - click start - run type - regedit - navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/desktop - modify the MenuShowDelay and reduce the value 400 - (this milliseconds) this will make the start menu display quicker

+ you can also speed up your pc also by cutting down on some of the special effects - right click on my computer > select properties > then click on the advanced tab then click settings under the performance tab > select the option for "adjust for best performance"

+ also try disabling the indexing services - this may slow down searches but if your not bothered about this this - this will speed up you system - click start then run type services.msc - scroll down the list until you find indexing services - double click on it - in the drop down box ensure the disabled is selected

also using the msconfig as before - check the services tab and then hide all microsoft services > check to see if there are any processes that you do not need - be alittle bit careful with this option - again google if you need to find the prog

+ if you are a advanced user you can improve you speed by enabling NTFS and write caching - but may have already set this up when you installed windows

+ and lastly but a bit extreme - do a full system recovery - i.e reinstall windows - you will lose any data but at least this will give you a computer as if it was brand new

Follow these steps and this will speed up your computer

Beware if using regedit be very very careful

Answer 2

The computer configuration should be balanced. Increasing your memory (RAM) is one option. Page size settings, Number of installed programs on your disk all contribute to the speed or slowness of the system.

If you are working on graphics intensive applications or games for example, then a graphics card will help you boost the performance.
