How can i make my computer faster?

Question

This is without buying RAM or anything else.

Answer 1

Piece of cake.

- Are you using a complex screensaver - it runs in the background and eats memory. I had fun with mine, then changed it to blank.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.

1.From IE, click Tools, Internet Options
delete cookies
delete files (offline files)
clear history (set days to save to 0 if you want)
click o.k., and Restart
2.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
3.Temporarily close Quick Launch:
Right-click on the Taskbar, click Toolbars, deselect Quick Launch
4.Open My Computer
right-click on C:
click Properties
click Tools, select Error Check (check all and fix), when finished click defrag & run.
5.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)
6.Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore

All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files.

Answer 2

1. What are the specs?
2. What are you trying to make faster (web connection, performance speed, etc)
3. Post this on sharkyforums.com

For now, assuming you mean performance and not knowing what your comp specs are and how old it is, try these things:

1. Disk Cleanup.
2. Check how many programs you have running in the background (Start Run [msconfig/winconfig/winipconfig) depending on your OS. If you dont know what you are doing, DONT TOUCH THIS SECTION.
3. go to housecall65.trendmicro.com and let their program clean your comp of malware, adware, etc.

Again we need to know your specs to even help.

Answer 3

Well without buying anything else there is little you can do except make sure that your computer is completely free of spyware and viruses, keep as little on your computer as possible so access times are lower.
