My computer speed is extremly too low and i have deleted some items amounting to 2GB?

Question

the reason as to why am much surprised its because my computer is a pentium 4 with speed of 3.2GHZ

Answer 1

You have not mentioned your hard disk capacity. So less of hard disk space may be one problem for slowing down. There could be some other problems so do following-

1. Fragment the hard disk, it may take few hours so whenever you are away from job, you can start fragmentation.

2. Go to control panel and see all the programs which are running at start up. Delete all irrelevant one. Keep only the necessary and essential programs.

3. Take a anti virus software and run it for entire computer - hard disks, floppy drives, CD or any other external or internal memory devices.

4. Disconnect all external connection because any external connection will take hell lot of time to search information.

5. remove all sharing from your machine. Just ensures no hard disk or drives are shared.

I hope it works, if not please show it to hardware vendor.

Enjoy!

Answer 2

2gb is hard drive space, speed for consumers is because you have got too many programs running and taking up your RAM, random access memory, you might have viruses, or other junk running you dont know about

Answer 3

Uninstall any unnecessary programs running in your system..

Also use good anti-virus.

Answer 4

you should check it over for viruses, the first is a beta program for the computer and the second two are scans that will only tell you if you are infected, good luck!
