Answer 2

Most computer users have been trained that if you want more speed for your computer, then add more memory. Well, this is true, in certain circumstances. But for most of the times, it really is just bad files in your registry files. Corrupted or missing registry files can make your computer too slow.

The registry is a main part of your computer's Operating System. With time, as you use Windows and install and uninstall programs, your registry will get congested and full of errors. So your computer could slow down. So, if you can clean it up this problem can be solved.Sometimes you can speed computer up by 300%. To clean up registry,You can download a software called regsitry cleaner---Clean registry,remnant,corrupt files and temp files,history,cookies,etc.. This site:

Answer 4

Look at your processes (Ctrl-Alt-Delete - Task Manager) and see what process is using CPU time.

Answer 5

If you are running any version of windows, reinstalling the operating system may be a very good choice. Windows is known to slow down the longer it is run on a system, without being completely reinstalled. A better option would be to use linux instead of windows, that's just a personal suggestion though.

Answer 6

1. Do you have an Anti-Spyware and Anti-Virus program? Would be a good idea to do a full scan to check...even if you don't think this is the problem!

2. If your Hard-Drive is becoming full, this can also slow down the computer, so would be a good idea to uninstall any programs not used

3. You should use a program CC-Cleaner...it will get rid of ALL rubbish files that windows stores (temp internet files etc) and fix all registry errors which accumulate over time

4. After carrying out all these...it would be a good idea to run a full disk checkup as well...just to make sure there are no errors with the HDD itself

5. Last resort if this doesn't help would be to re-install Windows again...Windows XP/98 all become slower and slower after long periods of time so its worth re-installing it...it definitely boosts speeds!!

Hope this helps!!
