Wondering how to speed upPC without purchasing a new one or re-install operating system on it?The way to fix a slowcomputer is to cure the problems that make it run slow.l hope I would be able to help you speed up your slow PC with these3 easy steps.
1)Defragmentation of the hard drive is one way to speed up the PC and retrieving of information to and from the hard drive. When different programs are loaded unto the hard drive and files are stored and erased, fragmentation of the hard drive takes place. Defragmentation will result in speeding up a computer by decreasing the direct read times to and from the hard drive. You can perform a defragmentation of the hard drive by going to the control panel and clicking on System and Maintenance. There will be a defragmentation utility in this section.
2)Another way to speed up a PC is clearing of it's prefetch files. One way that Windows uses to gain running speed is to store parts of programs in a folder called Prefetch. Although these stored files can be very beneficial to the speed at which your computer operates, the folder can fill up with many files that are seldom used. When this happens, it somewhat defeats the purpose of having these files in this easily access site as it becomes increasingly time consuming for the operating system to search through all of the seldom used files for the one it needs. This can be rectified by deleting the files in the Prefetch folder. Just click on Start -> Run and enter prefetch in the dialog box. This should bring up all the files so that you can delete them. You don't need to be concerned about deleting files that are needed as the Windows operating system will start the process all over again when you access the next program.
3) Clearing your PC's registry is also an effective way to speed up your PC. This registry is like a library catalog for your programs and as programs are added and removed, and some programs are opened more frequently than others, the registry tends to get disorganized and can contain meaningless and unused entries. Removing the unused entries and organizing the needed entries can be beneficial to operating speed of your PC. The cleaning of the computer's registry is most conveniently done by purchasing a low cost software program called a registry cleaner. There are many of these programs available online
