Speed up your computer by:

do these things with some secure tool such as Intel Software Partner Reginout.

1. stop those unnecessary start-up programs which will affect computer boot time a lot.
2.do a disk defrag or a free registry defrag.the former will free up your disk space, and the latter will give a clean registry.
3. notice that just cleaning up registry is not enough. you should fix registry errors.Registry is so important to a computer, so if you are unfamiliar with it ,do not delete anything by yourself, or your computer will collapse.
4. remove all junk files and history.
5.fully scan your computer. Virus always cause a computer slow down. At the same time, you should also know that using more than 1 antivirus software is harm to your computer. They will make a big confliction by uncompatible with each other.
6. Add some RAM, which is helpful to computer speed. Do not put programs on C driver, for it store all system information.
7. if all above do not work, you may consider to do a reinstall of Windows. Before you do it , please remember to back up all your important files.

Good luck to you.

I would install Microsoft Security Essentials and run a scan after downloading all the updates. If you are running Windows XP, you can also run Combofix before installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

If you have Norton, Mcafee, or any other antivirus software, ad scanners, etc., it would be a good idea to uninstall them before installing Microsoft Security Essentials.

If you don't use System Restore, it is a good idea to disable it by right clicking My Computer, click properties. On the System Restore tab, check the Turn off system restore option, and click Ok.

If this doesn't speed things up tremendously, try installing more RAM, or replacing your RAM with larger sized sticks.

Combofix and Microsoft Security Essentials can be found using Google.

A good, free firewall replacement that uses very little resources is Comodo Firewall. This can also be found using Google.

Oh you need to provide more details like the RAM...

  • The very first thing that I recommend you to do is check the RAM. Lack of RAM is always the most serious cause of slow running computer.
  • However, if the RAM is already at the maximum that the motherboard can support, you got to do something else:
  • Disk cleanup is good, but not enough. Run the system tool-Disk Defragmenter every two or three months, not too often, or it will harm the span of hard drive.
  • Cleanup registry. This require a professional registry optimizer. Manual search and cleanup is never recommended by anyone.
  • Defragment registry. This can be done with a free registry defrag tool. You can find it on google.
  • Besides, here is a post on Fixya.com telling you in detail how to speed up computer, I think it is good and worth reading: http://www.fixya.com/support/r3760943-fix_slow_computer

My computer is slow

Win 7 needs at least 3 gb of memory. Run a chkdsk. Then get a free disk defragger from cnet site. Do a defrag of disk and see if your machine runs faster. Another problem can be a virus slowing your computer.

My computer too slow always get the not responding reply.

Eliminate Viruses and Spyware
Step 1

Run your antivirus program. There may be something slowing your computer that you can remove. It is a good idea to run your antivirus program every week.
Step 2

Remove spyware. Run a good spyware tool at least twice a month.
Step 3

Use a pop-up blocker, if you have one. Check your antivirus program.


Dispose of the Extras

Step 1

Delete your document files for anything you no longer need. Saved pictures, audio and video files in particular can slow your computer.

Step 2

Remove unwanted programs from the Control Panel area. Old toolbars or games the kids downloaded off the Internet are a good place to start. Look for software you no longer use, such as the old printer you threw out last year.

Step 3

Clean out your email. Old messages are a constant drain on your computer's resources. Go through every folder, deleting everything you do not need. Leave no mail! Finish by emptying the Deleted Items folder.

Step 4

Turn off unnecessary programs. Check your taskbar for icons that show running programs. Disable anything you are not currently using.

Run Maintenance

Step 1

Run the Disk Cleanup tool located in your Control Panel. (Windows only. For other operating systems, please check the Resources section below.) This will remove temporary files, cookies and unnecessary components to speed up your computer.

Step 2

Defragment your computer. Defragging takes some time, but will speed your computer significantly. You can find the tool in your Control Panel. Run it monthly.

Step 3

Check for disk errors. Sometimes corrupted files slow down your computer. To find and fix these files, Go to My Computer and right-click on C drive. Choose Properties, then Tools.

My laptop is running slow? when im in the internet my computer runs slow

Available RAM is very important for speeding up your laptop while surfing. Check your available RAM by:

  1. Starting the Task Manager (Right click on taskbar and select it)
  2. Select the Performance Tab
  3. Compare the Physical Memory vs Commit Charge numbers.

For example, my fast computer has 3600 megs of total physical memory compared to a commit charge of 1200 megs. Meanwhile, my older, slow computer has only 650 megs of total physical memory with a commit charge of 1400 megs. This means the slow computer is always making 'pretend' memory from hard drive space, and that is why it is so slow. This is most likely the case with your computer as well.

I hope that helps.

How do i know what programs i can take out of this laptop? it is running so slow.

Hi,

You can see what programs run in your system by pressing ctrl+alt+del keys together. then click task manager which will have the list of all the applications running. If you find a particular application making your computer work slow, then click on that application in the list and then click end task which will close that application.

One solution for your computer running slow could be reformatting your operating system. Your system might have been affected by virus which could be the reason for your system's bad performance.


Hope it helped!

Jegan
