Keep your memory as free as possible:
- Many users are not aware of how much RAM is used by wallpaper and a screensaver full of graphics. Reset to blank. You'll be surprised how much this helps.
- How many programs do you load at startup? Maybe you should check it out and ensure you are running just what you need.
To do this: cl Start, cl Settings, cl Taskbar and Start Menu.
- cl Start Menu, cl Customize, cl Remove.
- cl the icon for the program you wish to remove
- then cl Remove.
- This will prevent the program from loading at startup, but will not remove the program from the hard disk.
- Are you in a large file? If so, save frequently to restore full memory access. (Your work remains in memory until you “save” it to 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.

Go to the top of your screen to Tools>Internet Options>Delete cookies, files and history.
Go to Start>Control Panel>Add/Remove Programs and delete any programs you are not needing or wanting
Go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Defrag your computer and run the Disc Clean-up
You can add more space to your computer by doing this and this does speed things up also.
Don't leave your computer on 24/7 that can make it run slow
Go to http://www.filehippo.com and there they have free programs for viruses, spyware, adware and more to help your computer and speed.
