You don't say which service you use - dialup, DSL, cable ...
Dial-up is in and of itself sloooooooooooow.
Cable, direct connection, fast.
However, even with a fast service, there are other things that can slow your system:
- 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.
3To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
3cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
3cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
3then cl Remove.
3This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
1.Did you run an error check? Open My Computer,
Right-cl on C:, Select Properties, Tools – Run an Error Check ( checkmark “check all and fix); then run a Defrag
2.Are you using Yahoo Toolbar? Run a full Norton Antispy.
3.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
3.click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
4.click Start, Run ipconfig renew (type ipconfig space renew)
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. If this doesn’t help, you should consider getting more memory.

that's gonna be 2 completely different things.
Internet speed is determined by your connection and your isp, some "accelerators" make the internet "appear" faster but don't actually speed up your connection.
as far as your computer working faster, theres a number of things you can do, start with turning off programs you aren't using, disc cleanup, defrag, add more memory, uninstall programs you don't need or use, turn off some windows services not being utilized, soooo many.

See, there's a difference between "making your laptop run quickly" and "fixing complications". The latter is conceivable. the former is impossible with utility. merely placed there is not any such ingredient as a utility it particularly is sure to make your laptop run quicker. it particularly is in all probability that your laptop is high quality and no quantity of registry cleansing, defragging, and so forth will make it extra effective.

★★ SPEED UP DSL ★★
◙ Your PC may not be setup properly to take full advantage of broadband speeds. Modifying your configuration to maximise performance is known as tweaking. For many users, tweaking is a misnomer as it implies subtle improvements. Fixing huge problems is more accurate!
