how i format my pc to run fast?

Answer 1

Change your operating system: http://www.whylinuxisbetter.net/

Answer 2

There are alot of things you can do such as going to a linux based operating system but to keep your windows based system running smoothly you need to be sure you have enough ram memory for the amount and type of programs you run. Run a spyware removal tool such as adaware at least every couple of days to remove spyware collected on your system. Get a program like little wiper that can erase all your temporary internet cache files and also the windows .dat file that collects information about every site you visit and stores it on your computer.

Answer 3

You can format your computer by putting in the disk that came with your computer. There may be more than 1 so make sure you put in #1.

However if you may just need to clean it up. So I will give you some information on how to do that.

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 CA.

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.

Finally turn off indexing.

Click on My Computer>right click on C drive> left click on Properties. Now uncheck allow indexing. A windows pops up, just click Ignore All and then Apply. Let it do its thing.

After applying the suggestions above you will have a clean and faster computer. Enjoy.

Answer 4

Lookingwesttexas is right . But you can improve it a lot by just getting rid of the programs you do not need or want.It also helps to keep the Icons on your tool bar to a minimum. and empty your temp file often.

Answer 5

I like the first guy's answer. (Power to the Penguin!!!)

But besides that, empty out all your temporary files, uninstall programs that you don't need, go buy some more RAM, get cable Internet, and install a warp drive.

(just kidding about that last suggestion)

Answer 6
