You can use a registry cleaner to clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you've installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it's Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

You can download and scan your computer for free.
It can be as simple as using the built-in "Disk Cleanup" and "Disk Defragmenter" Utilities already available in Windows ( Start – All Programs – Accessories – System Tools )
HINT: You SHOULD use BOTH but start Disk Cleanup first !
Of course, sometimes it needs the BIG cleanup and here is my technique on how to do a TOTAL non-destructive cleanup: a few tricks (and associated free programs) I use when helping friends with problems.
1) The Java Runtime Environment causes issues, you should use a free program I use myself called JavaRa to get the latest JRE and remove older versions. This will ensure the security of your computer and a little extra space on your hard disk. Find more information here: http://raproducts.org/javara.html and the download link here: http://raproducts.org/ ( Currently, JavaRa supports Windows Vista without UAC so if you have Vista and are not comfortable temporarily disabling it, don't use JavaRa )
2) Flush every single possible accumulated browsing junk in ALL your browsers (you should always delete these from time to time).
Method One (now): In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Delete Browsing History and in the box, click the Delete all button (bottom left) and Yes.
In Firefox, go to tools, clear private data, make sure all boxes are checked and then click on the clear private data now button.
Method Two (in the future – about every two weeks for normal use of the internet – every week for heavy use):
In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then click Delete Browsing History and in the box that opens, do the following steps (in order)
1) click the button near Temporary Internet Files, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
2) click the button near History, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
Finally, click the close button (bottom right) to finish.
In Firefox, Go to tools, clear private data and uncheck all except Browsing History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions boxes and then click on the clear private data now button.
Note: Close your browser ( This is good for Internet Explorer and Firefox ) when you're done to clear cookies that are still in memory.
For older versions of the same programs or for other browsers, check their help files for guidance on doing the cleanup.
3) Turn off the restore point utility.
Here is a guide for XP: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310405 and an article for Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/Help/9f6d755a-74bb-4a7d-a625-d762dd8e79e51033.mspx
4) Install a free cleaner called Glary Utilities ( http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html ) to remove Windows junk files, registry orphans and/or remnants of installs/uninstalls (there is always some).
5) Defragment your drive with your defragmenter.
6) Turn system restore back on. ( the same guide and article given in part 3 )
( A word of caution, with programs this powerful, be sure to read all instructions and help files completely so that you apply fixes correctly the first time ! )
NOTE: Finish by making sure to download and install the very latest stable drivers for EVERYTHING and that they are for the correct OS (Don't use XP drivers on Vista and Vice versa – one exception would be if they are indicated for both OS) for a better overall computing experience.
Hope this helps
well you can always delete your temporary internet files. tools>internet options>general tab>then in the temporary internet files group box click delete files.
Below can help you speed up your pc:
1. Click Start, Programs, Accessories, System Tools – run Disk Cleanup
2. Temporarily close Quick Launch:
Right-click on the Taskbar, click Toolbars, deselect Quick Launch
3. Open My Computer
Right-click on C:
Click Properties
Click Tools, select Error Check (check all and fix), when finished click defrag & run.
4. Click Start, Run ipconfig -renew (type ipconfig space renew)
5. Restart. Right-click on Taskbar, click Toolbars, select Quick Launch to restore
All these things should be done regularly. The more frequently they are run, the less time they take.
-Note: Games and videos are mostly graphics. Graphics create large files. If these suggestions don't help, you might need more memory.
Last, if you haven't cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC's resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Does a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.
