Computer question?

Question

For a few months, my computer has been getting slower and slower. I'm wondering if the commit charge has anything to do with it being slow? When you push CTRL+ALT+DELETE and bring up the task manager, at the bottom right it has a commit charge. Now mine is 259112k / 759960k at the moment. Now should it be higher, like 525000 / 759960k? If it is, I would need to know how to raise that commit charge to what it should be. Thanks for reading and helping!

For anyone asking the processes that are running..I dont think this many should be running but ya.. 41 with IE open and 39 without. And my CPU usage is almost always at 100%..and I've got 1gp and 512mb RAM

Answer 1

Check you startup folder for any programs that automatically run on booting, and take those unneeded out. Start->Programs->Startup.

Think about adding some more physical Ram to your system, the prices right now are very good.

Answer 2

There are many things that can cause a computer to slow down. Hard disc filling up, not enough RAM, too much demand on the graphics card, having to use virtual files, viruses, running too many programs at the same time, having one of Bill's latest OS's that's just asking too much from your system etc. Best thing to do is check for viruses then get a memory upgrade, they're cheap and they always give at least some improvement.

There are several primary areas that could be causing your computer to run slow and also some software you can download to speed up your computer. The most likely reason is that Corruption within your registry keys, registry classes, and registry settings,you have too many programs running behind the scenes and your system is essentially running in circles with its internal processing.
To determine if your system is in fact running slow because of problems in your registry and temp files and then speed up your computer, you will need to run a self diagnostic program called regsitry cleaner.This program is very very useful,it can fix regsitry errors,clean registry remnant,corrupt files and temp files in a few minutes.Then give you a bran-new and high-speed computer.There are collection and comparison of top rated registry cleaner:

Answer 4

Logically your computer cannot be getting slower and slower otherwise it would not now be working.

So you have opened Task Manager and looked at the processes. Which process is draining your PC of its resources?

That is the important thing, not the commit charge.

Answer 5

Nope - the lower your use of the commit charge, the better your system should be performing. If the 759960k number was higher, it would mean you have some sort of increased performance due to RAM or Virtual memory increase
