My Computer Is Very Slow

What type of computer you have and how well it works can say wonders about you in certain situations. Having to tell a potential client or employer, "hold on a minute please my computer is very slow" is both embarrassing and tells the person you are talking to that you are not going to be able to get anything done quickly. Correcting slow computer issues is not hard and doesn't always require purchasing a whole new computer. It is possible to turn your, "my computer is very slow" into "are you there yet" with some simple maintenance tips.

The first thing you will want to do to eliminate the "my computer is very slow" in your life is to clean out the junk drawer. You know that drawer in the kitchen that just kind of collects miscellaneous stuff, well a lot of us let our computers just collect a lot of very unnecessary items. If you haven't accessed a file in the past year, it may be time to either delete it or just move it onto a disc for storage. A lot of people in the "my computer is very slow" group love, love, love to store photos and videos on their PCs. This is a ton of space that could be used for something else (like running processes), so put it on disc and keep it somewhere that is easy to access.

Also in the elimination plan should be programs that you don't need or use. Go to your control panel and access your ‘add/remove programs' file. With most Windows computers it will indicate how often, if ever, you use a program that is installed on your computer. Each one of those rarely and never used files are part of the reason you are in the "sorry, my computer is very slow" club and eliminating them will free up much needed disk space. Remove all programs that you do not use or have not used in at least 2 years (maybe even a year if you have a lot).

If you don't already have one, it is a good idea to invest in anti-virus/anti-spy ware software. Use the tools to scan your computer for viruses, spy ware and adware that is likely slowing down your computer's functions. You should choose software that updates regularly, but does not require a lot of space on the hard drive. It doesn't need a million fancy features either. Just so it continuously keeps those bad programs off your computer and helps you to never say, "hold on, my computer is very slow" again.

The final step in getting out of the "my computer is very slow" routine is to purchase registry cleaner software. This software is designed to identify corrupt, empty and invalid files in your computers registry. Once identified, the better registry cleaners available will repair or remove those files. We save this step for last because you should make all the changes you want (adding and deleting programs and files) before running the registry cleaner. Although, if you purchase it first you will just want to run it again after you install or uninstall any files or programs.

Many registry cleaners come with other features that can be beneficial to keeping you out of the my computer is very slow club. Things like automatic schedulers, defragmenters and registry optimizers can really help to keep your computer running at top speeds. Never make the "my computer is very slow" apology again by maintaining your computer's memory and registry resources with the right tools.
