Most likely your registry is bloated and overstuffed with an assortment of useless pieces of data. The operating system while running your computer has to pick its way through all this excess material. There will be bits of programs which were not completely uninstalled,parts of programs which were never completely installed,fragments of miscellaneous data,useless drivers, and a multitude of other bits and pieces.

What is the computer registry? All Windows operated computers from Windows 95 onward have a registry. Simply put it is a databank of information which the operating system uses to run the computer and perform the tasks you ask of it. When it becomes overstuffed with useless data the computer can slow to a crawl and become balky.

What can be done to correct these problems? The answer is to clean your registry and remove all the useless data fragments and no longer needed information.
