7 EASY STEPS TO SPEED UP SLOW PC 
When your computer was new it ran smoothly at top speed. The actual speed of course depends on the speed of your computer chip,amount of memory and various other things which relate directly to the components of your machine. A computer with a Celeron chip or equivalent will run slower than one with the latest dual core processor. If you want a really fast computer you will have to spend a bit more money for the right components.

This being said there are many other factors which influence the speed at which your computer surfs and runs programs.

(1.) If your computer boots slowly it is likely due to a large number of programs in your start menu. You should take a look at what is in there and remove programs which you do not often use at startup. You don’t have to delete them from the computer. Just take them out of the start menu and you can easily access them when you need them.

(2.) If you have seldom or never used programs on your hard drive get rid of them. Uninstall them completely,don’t just delete them. This can free up quite a bit of hard drive space which will help the computer to run faster.

(3.) If you have not defragmented you hard drive for some time do it now. This alone often results in noticeably better performance.

(4.) Remove temporary files and cookies. These items will greatly slow down your machine. Do this regularly and you will see a difference in performance of your computer.

(5.) Permanently delete all deleted emails and older sent and received emails you do not need. If you have not done this in a long time it will surprise you how much disk space you can free up.

(6.) If you have insufficient memory in your machine you should upgrade by adding some more. A minimum of 1 gigabyte of ram is needed to handle a lot of programs.

(7.) If your registry is overloaded this is the most likely cause of slow running and freezing. Your computer registry is a database used by all windows operated computers to run the computer and programs. Over time it becomes choked with many fragments of programs and other data. The operating system must find it’s way through all this unwanted registry material to locate the data it uses to run the machine. This causes slow running,freezing and even crashing. All windows operated computers suffer from this problem. Only one thing can be done to correct it and that is to clean the registry of all the useless entries.

If you have sufficient computer knowledge you may be able to clean the registry manually yourself. However make one error and you may disable the computer by removing an essential entry. You may then have to reinstall the operating system. This obviously is to be avoided as you will lose all the material you have in the computer.

There is a much safer and better way to clean the registry and that is to use a registry cleaner application. Several companies offer these registry repair utilities for download on the internet. Most of them will offer you a free scan of your registry to first of all find out if you do in fact have a registry problem. You can study the report you are provided with and decide what you want to do. You can choose to remove the unwanted material from the registry yourself or pay the very reasonable fee to have it done quickly and safely for you.

We would definitely recommend using the registry cleaner application to do the work safely and properly. Once you download the program it remains on your hard drive and you can use it regularly to clean and keep your registry in top shape. If you choose to do nothing your registry will become more bloated as time goes by and the computer will become ever slower and more balky.

We purchased and tested several of the popular registry cleaner programs available on the internet. In order to make the test meaningful we ran each program on the same computer to see how they performed in locating errors. We did not run the repair untill all the utilities had been tested. We found a good,better and best amongst these programs and found that one of them was clealy superior to the others.
