How To Make Your Computer Faster
Your computer may be running slow due to a variety of reasons. The following tips will help to speed up the PC:
1. Remove programs that you do not need. Go to the Control Panel and check the programs installed. Having many programs installed can slow down your PC, especially if it has a lower capacity hard disk drive and memory.
2. Disable unnecessary start up programs. Check whether the programs that start when the PC is powered on are really necessary. Disable non-essential programs like printer software, chat applications and the like from the Options Menu of the programs.
3. Check whether your PC is infected by malicious programs. These include viruses, spyware and Trojans. Install an up to date antivirus program and antispyware tools to remove these malicious programs.
4. Clean your PC registry. Instances of any programs that are run on the PC are left on the registry. These can accumulate with time, make registry processes slow down, and in turn make the PC slow. Use a registry repair software to rectify this problem.
5. Upgrade your PC hardware. Get a higher capacity hard drive and memory. You might also consider upgrading the processor especially if you want to run heavy applications like graphic design and video softwares.
6. Clear out your junk files. Check the Recycle Bin and clean it up. If you are running XP, defragment your hard disk through the Control Panel.
The above are some of the ways through which you can make your PC run much faster.
