Answer 3

You should see if your hard disk, or the C drive is full or has very little space left on it. Also look at the lower right corner of your computer, the icons of programs that start with windows. Right click on each and select exit, or close.
In first case you have to move some data to another partition. And/or uninstall some of the programs from your hard disk that you do not need. Also remove some unwanted programs from startup.

Answer 4

Disk Cleanup
Disk Defrag
Clear History

Answer 5

Do you have current AntiVirus & AntiSspyware?

At least 512 MB RAM? Have you defraged the HD?

If you answered "yes" to all the above, do you have more than 1 sys AV a/o firewall active?

If you're using a router AND have a software firewall (xp or third party - i.e. something like ZoneAlarm) you have 2 firewalls. Uninstall one & the PC should speed up.

Answer 6

Assuming you mean after logging on from Windows, if so do this:

Click on Start > Run
Type in : msconfig
Click on Startup
Uncheck the items that are there

These programs are loading on start up - You need to be careful what you remove the check marks for. Do not disable anything that has to do with your anti virus programs. I have mine all unchecked expect Anti-Virus and other security (Firewall). If you made a mistake you could always re-check them by going back to msconfig > Startup
I always do it

Answer 7

Do Start, Run, appwiz.cpl and uninstall all programs you don't need

download and install Adaware and Spybot, update each and run it to clear off spyware & adware

double-click on My Computer, right-click on C:\, select Properties, Tools, defrag, then error-checking

reboot the PC

Also, buy more RAM - will always help, assuming you have space on the motherboard to insert it.

Answer 8

My Computer -> Properties -> Hardware -> Device Manager
IDE ATA /ATAPI controller -> Choose each of IDE Channel -> Propeties
-> Advanced settings -> Turn all "DMA if available" to "None"

Answer 10

the best way to speed up your computer
TO STOP ALL THAT FROM GOING ON your network

you do make sure you call your (isp) or this will happen
is your pc still slow & your internet you have done a full system scan
with your anit virus /anti spyware you even defragmenter your hard drive
done a scan disk but your pc is still slow and your internet is not as good
then you need to check your router it dont mater what router you have

people in the vicinity is on your network

you call your (isp)
GET THIS SET TO DISABLED

(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING )
it dont matter what router you have you need to get
(GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) set to disable

is your router safe?
you need to call your (isp) server
they have to get you in to your router home page
then from there ..copy & paste the router home page
into a notepad then save that to a back up cd

now from there they have to take you to the part
where (GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING ) is
then you click on ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING) icon
then at the top of the page on the right your see
configure.. you click on configure
then you .. UN-TICK .. the box ( GAMES & APPLICATION SHARING)
that is ticked there ...
then you click look down the page your see
<<<
if you have a wireless router
and then ask them where you set up a wpa-security key dont use a 128bit wep key ask to use a wpa- security that is your router security key and you pick the wpa-security key not your (isp)server . just ask them where you set one up they will say use a wep-key ..ignore them you say your going to use a wpa.key and want to know how to set one up and remember you pick the wpa-key not your (isp)server or they will use your network

now you close off the page
and clean out your internet address bar
