Answer 1

Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!It even can speed up your computer by 300% or more!

Answer 2

Greetings,

Let's breakdown this into two sets

Software :

Make sure your Antivirus protection is uptodate
Run online Scan to make sure you are not infected

Trendmicro has a housecall which is pretty effective

AVG formerly known as Ewido has a very good online scan aswell.

If you don't have an upto date Antivirus, Uninstall the existing one and go with

AVG or Avast they are both pretty good

Run Disk Cleanup,

All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Cleanup

and then run Disk De-Fragment

Also running
Check disk with both check boxes doesn't hurt, cleans up all the bad sectors.

Hardware
Since your purchase it is quite possible the Service Packs and other software footprint on the machine has increased and hence the machine is running slower than what you started out with.

There are 2 highly probable causes, assuming your computer was fast when it was new:
1. You are infected with malware.
2. You are trying to run too many programs at once, some of which may not be compatible.
Both problems can be fixed by deleting Windows and installing a good operating system instead, such as www.kubuntu.org. It is free.

Answer 4

Simple Programs Why is your computer crashing? 1) Not enough Ram. 2) Too much junk running when you start up try running your computer with a clean but see Attachment. 3) running too hot make sure your computer vents are clean.

Answer 5

Because you have a lot of spyware and most likely trojans...you dont have to do a reinstall...download some of the free spyware programs such as pc threatfire-I saw it in pc mag and it has worked very well for me! There are others-just look for them!

Answer 6

1) start--run-- %temp% delete all files
2) navigate to C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch--delete all files, by now you should start to see a difference.
3) go to control panel and remove all programs you don't need/use anymore
4)navigate to "C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files" and delete all files in folder. note 'user' should be your name. Do this for each user name on your pc--if any
The Local Settings folder is hidden so once you open C:,
go to 'Tools,' then 'Folder Options,' click on the 'View' tab and then select "Show hidden files and folders"

5) start--run--regedit. File--export--save on desktop.
6) download and install Glarysoft's registry repair from download.com
7empty your trash can

that should speed you up a bit.

Answer 7

most likely you have too many things running in startup. this is easy to fix. click start, run. type msconfig and press enter. click on the startup tab and click disable all. click ok and click restart now. when you log on next time you will see the same box click "don't show this to me again and click ok.

also try deleteing all your temp files at this point. i think this should work for you.

Answer 8

The most common reason for this is spyware/malware. Try going to www.trendmicro.com and running housecall ( a free online virus/spyware removal tool)

Answer 9

open up your task manager and see what is using your CPU power...and if this is not a program in use end it and i would suggest checking your start up programs for those not needed until you manually open them...this may mean going to your services and stopping them from activating when windows starts.

hope this helps a little...good luck
