subject: PC Runs Slow? You Can Fix It Yourself [print this page] Author: orellrf Author: orellrf
I've been supporting PC's for over twenty years, and the most common complaint I hear is 'My PC Runs Slow'. Sometimes this is because the computer is just too old and outdated to run modern versions of PC software. After a few years, it's just time to replace and upgrade. But many times, a relatively new PC can come up with speed problems. It is frustrating to have a new computer that runs slower than the old one it replaced. Speed Up Your PC
Speed & Optimize PC, Free Download Most often when a PC runs slow, it's a registry issue. The registry is a hidden data file that keeps track of all of your computer's configuration settings, and there are thousands of them. If you continually install and un-install programs, particularly free utilities and toolbars off the Internet, you will eventually have registry problems. If you are a computer expert, you can edit the registry yourself and correct these errors. But this can be dangerous, as deleting the wrong entries can cause the computer to malfunction, or worse, not boot up at all. Clearly the best approach is to use a modern registry cleanup utility to fix your errors. These programs are readily available at reasonable cost online and work like magic to correct most common PC errors. When looking for one of these programs, get a highly-rated title that features a strong money-back guarantee. The better ones back up your registry, do a more complete scan and give you the options to fix some or all of the error that the software finds. If your PC runs slow, try one of these little software lifesavers - your PC will thank you. Speed Up Your PC
