Though there is no one miracle fix to the problem as a whole, a combination of factors can have you fixed in a short amount of time.
This article will offer a snap shot of the steps needed to fix slow computer problems. In the interest of space in this article, a more detailed description of each step is offered via the link at the bottom of this page.
Step One: Do a Free Scan from an Effective Registry Repair Product. If errors are found, you can then pay for the repair option (which is applied in seconds after purchased). This will help establish a more efficient central file system in your computer and will also condense the size of the files in the registry. Errors will be removed and the registry will be optimized if one of the better software programs is used.
The entire process can take 10 minutes or less and will make a world of difference in how your computer runs.
Step Two: Purchase an Effective Spyware Product and Run it. This will eliminate hurtful Spyware, Adware, Malware, and Viruses on your computer. This is vital because there are constant unauthorized downloads taking place on your computer each day. You need a product that can fight in your behalf to remove such issues.
Step Three: Utilize Your Operating System Tools to Free up Hard Drive Space. (Start, Accessories, System Tools, and then do a Disk Cleanup, then Disk Defrag, and finally initiate a restore benchmark but do not run a complete restore (just yet). This step will compress your files on the hard drive to make your system more efficient.
Step Four: Eliminate Any Unused Software From Your PC. Start, Control Panel, Add or Remove Programs, choose the installed programs and remove them if you are not going to use them in the next 3-6 months. Tons of software on your PC is like carrying an extra 50 pound backpack on a 10 mile hike!
Step Five: Remove History and Temporary Internet Files off Your Explorer Browser (Settings, Internet Options). This will make surfing easier.
Step Six: If Needed, Do a Full System Restore. This can take some effort, so only do this if the other steps did not fix the problem. Make sure to restart your computer to let the other changes take effect before doing a restore.
The impact of only a few steps alone can be great. If you do each of the steps mentioned here, your slow computer problems will disolve and your system will be performing like a champ again.
Slow Down Your Computer
Well I did and it drove me crazy how long it took till my PC booted up to be in an useable state. I searched for many solutions to make my PC more faster and found a good tool for it.
I found out that most of the programs that load at a startup are not really required. There are update checkers for java, sound control programs and other software that i never use.
I read that most of thies applications start from a registry entry that I could clean up myselfe. But that was not enough. There have been still a lot programs that I was unable to remove. So I thought lets try some tools that will help me. I ended up with a small tool called "GSA Autostart Cleaner" that was very easy to use.
It will search all places in your operation system where applications leave their autostart entries (registry, ini-files, bat-files, autostart-menus,...). Then you can choose if one is really needed or if it can be deleted. This speeds up the whole boot process and finally resulting in a more stable system. Autostart Cleaner finally makes it easy for everyone to clean up his PC.
In addition you can also clean the unwanted entries in the context menus from your explorer. All the entries that appear if you click with the right mouse button on a file can also be cleaned.
I can only recoment this little application to all who have a slow PC as I had.
