"M y computer is very slow" is
a common complaint of Computer and Laptop
owners.
PC and Laptops store a lot of information, most of
which we are not even aware they stored. After a
while your once swift pegasus (computer) becomes
slow and dull. After using computers and laptops for
many years, I have stated below things you need to
do to make your computer faster.
* Spyware
Most computers are slow because of spyware. There
are lots of programs to remove spywares. Some of
these are:SUPERAntiSpyware, Ad-Aware and a host
of others. Just google it. They will scan and alert
you on potential threats.
* Defragment your disk regularly
When a file is saved continuosly on a system, it
creates some gaps in the storage location between
the "First Save" and the "Second Save". Click the
"Start Menu" type "Defragment" in the Run space and
complete the process.
* Wipe browser data
If you use google chrome or firefox and other
browsers of thesame class, you will observe that
when you start the browser, it opens all the pages
you were last working on before the browser closed.
Clear browser data by clicking "Control-Shift-
Delete".
* Uninstall unused software
There are some softwares on our computers that you
hardly use. May be we installed it because someone
recommended it but have never used it. Some trial
version software also come with registries, that is
why if after the trial period, you uninstall and later
install them they will refuse to work because there is
a file telling them that the trial version was used on
that computer before. Use "Revo uninstaller" to
uninstall softwares as it removes even the registry
files.
* Empty your Recycle Bin regularly
When ever you delete an item, it goes to the recycle
bin except if you hold "Shift+Delete". After some
time, the recyle bin size grows to a level that it
begins to slow down your computer. Always check
for files you may later need before emptying the
recycle bin.
* Format your computer
if after trying everything it is still slow, just make a
back up of your important documents and format the
system. You can then reinstall window or whatever
operating system of your choice. It turns your
system into a new one.
* Update all of your drivers
You should also set windows to update
automatically "Windows update". (Check your control
panel) This will upgrade your system whenever hot
fixes and updates are available.
These are not all the tips you can use to increase
the speed of your computer, I will be updating this
list regularly. You can add some tips you use on
your system in the comment form below.
