Answer 1

I will give you the complete steps to clean up your computer and make it faster.

A clean computer is key to a faster computer. Run the 3 scans below.

Update and run your Anti-Virus program. Don't have one? You can run a free online scan from Trendmicro. When I have tested it it takes some time to run it but it may be time well spent if it can fix any problems.

Download and run http://housecall.trendmicro.com/


Download, update and run Spybot---http://www.safer-networking.org/ . Don't forget to use the Immunize feature.

Download, update and run Adaware---http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/products/select_your_product.php

Now lets clean up your registry.

Download RegScrubXP--http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?d...

Safely cleans junk out of the Windows 2000/XP system registry. All changes made to the registry are fully restorable to it's original condition. You can make an exclusion list of registry entries that RegScrubXP will not display as problems. You can sift through a list of file extensions, company names, run upon startup programs, Internet Explorer history, and uninstall programs to delete what you think is junk.

Download CleanUp---http://www.stevengould.org/software/clea...

Free disk space, make your computer run better/faster and protect your privacy - all in one easy solution. All for free!


Now lets clean up your disk.

Do a Disk Cleanup and Disk Defrag. You can find both of them by following the path below.

Start>all programs>accessories>system tools>Disk Cleanup. Let it do its thing. You can check every box that has something to delete.

Now follow the same path and do a Disk Defrag. Again just let it do its thing.

Now lets tweak your connection. There are many programs out there to do this. I will give you 2 of them.

The first one is TCP Optimizer.

Description: The TCP Optimizer is a free, easy Windows program that provides an intuitive interface for tuning and optimizing your Internet connection. There is no installation required, just download and run.

You can get support for the best way to set it up right from their forum http://forums.speedguide.net/

The second one is Cablenut.

Windows XP tested and approved

CableNut is a tool for optimizing your Internet Connection. We have provided a way to tweak any option you may want to in the adjuster. You can load "CableNut Custom Setting" files that are included with the program to tweak your Internet connection.

Again support is available right from their forum.http://www.broadbandnuts.com/index.php?p...

Answer 2

A very good program from essential pc tools is their "registry mechanic" tool. if you D/I then uninstall programs some elements can still reside in the windows registry and just take up disk space. it is just more clutter the computer has to search through and can be safely removed, also needed entries can be repaired.
Good Luck and Happy New Year

Answer 3

Run Disk Defragmenter(Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Defragmenter)
The first time you run it may take very long(several Hours), but if you run it often it will drastically increase the speed of your computer!

Answer 4

hi, go to start, click on all programs, then click on accessories, click on system tools, click on disk cleanup...let it run..say yes when it asks you if you want to do this. then click on disk defragmenter... follow its advice. if you are still slow, run your spysweeper in safe mode three times in a row. if you are still having problem call the tech dept. of your computer maker.

Answer 5

Go to "Start".."Run"..type in msconfig then check the box that says "hide windows programs" uncheck everything you don't need under "Startup"....Reboot Good Luck

Answer 6

Also d/l and run Adaware - you may have spy software running in the background...
