Is Your Computer Running Slow? Learn How to Fix it Now!

One of the most common and annoying problems that you can have is a COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW. The simplest way to solve this problem is to set your start-up settings - disable those unnecessary programs. Uncheck all the programs that you don't need running during start-up.

1. Another cause for your COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW is spyware.

2. Registry error can also result in your COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW. Windows registry is the control system of your computer, and registry problems may cause problems like Blue Screen Of Death, crashes, slow booting, slow shut down, and slow system performance. Again, if you're not a computer whiz, then registry cleaners may help.

3. Yet another probable cause for your COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW is having low virtual memory. Virtual memory is where the system stores temporary data in order for the system to run. Overloading of the virtual memory would result in the system running slower. The more programs running simultaneously, the slower the system will get. 128MB RAM is considered sufficient nowadays.

4. If the above reasons are not the culprit for your COMPUTER RUNNING SLOW, it may be that your PC just needs defragmentation. As you use your computer you download and save files, and also delete from time to time. As a result, your files will be scattered throughout your system, resulting in the slower searching and processing of programs. To defragment your hard drive, go to "My Computer" and right click on the hard drive. Click "tools" on the upper portion of the window, and then click on "defragment now."

5. Lastly, hardware problems such as ware and tare, overheating, short-circuiting, dust, and damage caused by impact can cripple your system and also cause it to run slow.
