How can u make yahoo load faster if it slows your computer down???

Answer 1

Lately I've noticed that Yahoo loads very slowly at times. I believe that you'll find that it is because there is so much traffic on Yahoo and it's not always possible for their servers to handle the traffic efficiently.

The other side of the coin is that it could be your PC not running real efficiently and is slowing things down. Check out my tips below and give them a shot. They usually help speed things up and if you do them regularly you'll keep your PC in good running order.

Of course it goes without saying that you'll need to keep up with running your antivirus and spyware scans also.

Give these a shot.

A major cause of slow PC's is fragmentation of the hard drive. You need to defragment the HD at least once a week if not more depending on how much you use your computer, and what you do with it.

One way is to use the defragment utility built into Windows XP. It is slow but does the job rather well. Go to:
Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and then click on System Defrag to run the tool. It may take several hours, so let it run overnight or simply walk away from your PC for a few hours.

A great program for defragging automatically is Diskeeper. It costs $30 but is well worth it. Go to http://www.download.com and search for Diskeeper. Read the Publishers Description and the Editor and User reviews. It can be scheduled to run automatically as the program deems necessary, and if you are using your PC and the program launches itself, it will take a backseat to whatever you are doing and give you the priority for CPU usage. I think you'll agree it's a good program to have. It precludes your needing to remember to defrag at regular intervals.

Another major cause of a slow PC is programs that are running in the background. Here's another really good Microsoft tool. It’s called Autoruns and it was written by SysInternals who were recently bought up by Microsoft.
Before you download the program create a folder under program files called Autoruns. Leave Windows Explore open.
Launch Internet Explored and go to the following Microsoft web page. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/utilities/autoruns.mspx

Go to the bottom of the page and download the Autoruns program. After it downloads unzip the file and you will see 4 files. Drag and drop those 4 files to the Autoruns folder you created under Program Files.
Once you have the 4 files in the C:\Program Files\Autoruns folder you can double click on the file titled “autoruns”.

This will bring up a window with several tabs at the top. Click on the “Logon” tab. It will list the programs that are running on your PC and eating up resources. Look them over carefully and turn off any that don’t absolutely have to be running. Simply click on the “check mark” in the little box beside the program name. Clicking on it will remove the check mark. Once you have edited the Startup list, click on Apply and then on OK.
NOTE: Leave items that show Windows; System 32; Program Files; etc. alone. Shutting them off may cause some things not to work. Once you have exited the window, reboot your PC for the settings to take effect.
WARNING: Don’t go into the other tabs and start deleting things. You will probably give yourself major headaches if you do that. Stay focused on the “Logon” List only.

Also a great utility for telling what those “.exe” files are in your Task Manager > Processes listing are is this one. It’s another SysInternals program that Microsoft now owns. Download it and run it to easily see what program/software an .exe is associated with. The download link is at the bottom of the following page.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/ProcessExplorer.mspx

Regularly clean up your browsing history, files, cookies, temp files, etc. A good program to us is Ccleaner and it is FREE. Get it here: http://www.download.com

Also, you need a “registry cleaner”. The registry can get “defragmented and clogged” with various data that you simply don’t need. The only effective way to clean this massive list is to use an automated cleaner. Go to http://www.download.com and search for Registry Cleaners. There should be several FREE ones there for you to use.

Another good thing to have is a little program called FreeRAM XP Pro. It is free and is available from http://www.download.com This program puts a little RAM meter on the System Tray and shows how much RAM you have remaining that you are not using at any given time. I think you may be surprised at how little RAM you have to run other programs. Also, once it is installed you can right click on the little meter, then click on RESTORE and it will open the RAM display window. You can tweak the settings so it will display your CPU usage also. Then just click “Minimize” and then “To System Tray” to return to the Task Bar.

What happens when you run out of or run real low on RAM is that the OS recognizes the low or no RAM situation and starts using a section of your hard drive as memory. This is called virtual memory, or a swap file. The PC is constantly writing and reading from your HD. Comparitively, it is a very slow process. Check your motherboard manual and determine how much RAM each slot can hold. It will also tell you what type of RAM you need. You can also go to http://www.crucial.com or http://www.4allmemory.com and run their analysis utility to determine what kind and how much RAM is installed in your PC. Depend on your MoBo manual to determine the RAM limits of each slot though.

Hope this helps

good day there are lot of elements governing the prob u simply recounted. one million. NORTON antivirus itself: I were making use of norton antivirus and it drags the sys efficiency. takes hell lot of time to load up,and makes method sluggish, it's worse if u 've norton 2005. the cutting-edge variant 2007 is larger regardless that, nonetheless it drags, however now not up to it did for 2005 variant. attempt to improve to 2007.
