Answer 1

Using registry cleaner can fix your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there are 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!

There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

You can download and scan your computer for free.

Answer 2

First of all run an anti-spyware programme to make sure you're PC isn't infected with stuff that is making it run slower. Ad-Aware and Spybot Search and Destroy are great and they're both free. Links below -

www.spybot.info/

www.lavasoftusa.com/



Also remove any programmes from the start up menu that you dont need. A lot of these run in the background although you're not using them and can make your computer seem a bit sluggish. Go to Start - Run and type "ms config" and select start up from the menu. Uncheck any programmes you don't require all the time.



How much memory do you have in your PC? It might be an idea to upgrade it to 1Gb or 2Gb if the suggestions above don't work.

Answer 3

didn't say if dial up or cable or satelite. could be old computer, slow dial up, or ram used up. go into systems and maintenace and defrag disk and then clean desktop. also how many apps are running? go to task manager and see. also how many programs at start up. my first guess would be just slow dial up.

Answer 4

Here are some tips to help your system run better. Most spyware/malware/trojen removing software just sucks.



Here’s a quick run down from Download.com:

With the ability to scan your RAM, Registry, hard drives, and external storage devices for known data-mining, advertising, and tracking components, Ad-Aware SE easily can clean your system, allowing you to maintain a higher degree of privacy while you surf the Web. Ad-Aware SE Personal Edition boasts a number of improvements. Extended memory scanning now scans all modules loaded by a process. Scanning uses the all- new CSI (Code Sequence Identification) technology to identify new and unknown variants of known targets. Extended Registry scanning now scans Registry branches of multiple-user accounts and performs additional smart checks to detect dynamically created references. Scanning speed is noticeably faster, and this version offers an Extended Scanning mode for known and unknown/possible browser hijackers.



Go download Ad-Aware Personal from here:

http://www.download.com/3000-2144-10045910.html



Press the “download now” link. If nothing pops up, then you’re using a pop up stopper and to by pass this you should press the “Ctrl” button on your key board. Now a file download box should pop up. Press “Run”. After installing the software, you will press “start” on the application. Be sure the “perform smart system scan” option is bubbled in. Now press “next”. Once it has scanned your system for possible hijackings, malware, spy ware and such, now its time to delete them. Press next. Place a check mark in all boxes except for the one labeled “MRU List” as this is not necessary to delete. Click OK and now you’re done.

*****************************

Now, if you have anti virus software, and you have viruses, you might want to consider changing to a better virus protection. If you paid for McAfee or Norton, sorry, it’s too bad, because you can go download Avast anti virus for free, and its way better. But you have to uninstall your old anti virus. Go to Start/Control panel/Add Remove programs, and uninstall the other one you have. Alot of people are saying to use AVG, but unless they have improved it, it used to be a resource hog, meaning slow your system dramatically.



Here’s a quick run down from Download.com:

Avast Home Edition is a complete ICSA certified and Secure Computing Magazine awarded antivirus software for home noncommercial use. Avast includes the following components: On Demand Scanner—with skinnable simple interface—just select what do you want to scan in which way and press the Play button; On Access Scanner—special providers to protect the most of available e-mail clients; Instant Messaging—ICQ, Miranda; Network traffic—intrusion detection—lightweight firewall; P2P protection for Kazaa, BitTorrent; Web shield—monitors and filter all HTTP traffic; NNTP Scanner—scans all Usenet Newsgroup traffic and all operations with files on PC; Boot Time Scanner—scans disks in the same way and in the same time as Windows CHKDSK does.



I have been using this program for about four years, and wouldn’t change if you paid me.

Here’s the link:

http://www.download.com/3000-2239-10019223.html



Go head and repeat last steps for downloading and installing this program too. Once you install it, the program will ask you if you want to run a boot scan and answer that with a YES. This boot scan scans your boot up for viruses and is a great tool. Here’s a quick rundown on how to run this antivirus:

Once it’s open, click on the icons to the right. First the one that looks like a hard drive, then the one that looks like a CD. Next, click on the one that looks like a folder and select the “My Computer” icon. Next click on the Icon on the left that is the letter A. This sets the sensitivity level, set it to high. Now press the PLAY button and it will scan you system, most likely finding Viruses your crappy anti virus never found.

***********************************

I know this is a long explanation, but I figured it was better than just telling you to go download these programs you never have used before, then you have to figure out how to use it, how annoying.



Once your done with this, go to your start menu. Go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools and then run the Disk Clean Up first, then once this is done, using the same method of finding disk cleanup, use your Disk Defragmenter.



Follow these steps if you haven’t already, and you will see a difference immediately. Now keep in mind, the computer wasnt slowed in five minutes, so dont expect to fix it in five minutes. You will have to have some patients in order to finish all of these step, but it is well worth it. I have more information that can help you like stopping programs that are unnecessarily running in the background and slowing your system down, the how to. Contact me via email, let me know how this worked out, and I will send a step by step instructions how to stop progs from running with out your knowledge in your configuration settings.



Good luck!
