   Have you ever Defragged your computer? Fragmentation occurs as you create, download and edit files. The files get broken up into little pieces and saved wherever free space is available. Then the computer has to work extra hard (using many I/O cues) to open these fragmented files. The same occurs with a tranfer and makes the computer really slow. This severely degrades the speed, performance and reliability of your computer. Try Diskeeper 2008, it s an automatic defragger so you’ll never have to worry about defragging again. You can download 30-day free trial-ware at http://www.diskeeper.com

   Everyone knows that Windows computers can sometimes slow down over time. While not an exhaustive list of solutions to problems, this collection presents some ways to speed up a computer.

   1. De-Fragmenting
   Over time, the data on your hard drive gets scattered. Defragmenting your hard drive puts your data back into sequential order, making it easier for Windows to access it. As a result, the performance of your computer will improve.
   a) Right click of C Disk.
   b) Click properties.
   c) Click tools tab.
   d) Click "Defragment now".
   e) Click Defragment.

   2. Uninstall Unneeded Programs
   Removing programs that you no longer use can free up space on your computer and speed up your system’s performance. However, you need to uninstall the programs properly to see much improvement; deleting them is not enough.

   3. Stop Programs from starting on Windows boot
   One way you can speed up your computer is to prevent programs from launching themselves at start-up. Not only do the unwanted programs delay the start of Windows, they also continue to slow down your computer since they use system resources.
   a) Open your Start menu.
   b) Click Run
   c) In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
   d) In the "system configuration utility", click either "service" or "startup" tab
   e) Uncheck all programs that you are no longer using.
   f) Click "OK"

   4. Check for Spyware and Adware
   Spyware is software that allows companies to monitor what websites you visit or even access your computer. Adware is software that displays advertisements. Both use system resources and slow your computer down. Detecting and removing the programs will improve system performance.

   The Reg. Cleaner I suggest to you to is free and I mean free.
   Comodo Registry Cleaner. I use it every day, It is safe and trustworthy.
   http://registry-cleaner.comodo.com/

   This program I am recommending now, is one of the best free programs I have seen in a very long time.
   Just press "Care ". sit back and relax. Your computer will get a complete clean up.
   When you check out Utilities later on. you will see there some very good programs.

   I like Easy Cleaner. You can download it here: http://majorgeeks.com/download414.html

   Also while you’re at the MajorGeeks site download Super AntiSpyware and follow directions for installing and scanning. Link is here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/SUPERAntiSpyware_d5116.html

   If you find a lot of spyware then follow full instructions for removal in MajorGeeks forum. Also defrag your drive and consider adding more RAM to the system.

   The registry is basically one big settings file.
   It does not cause slowness in a computer.
   You do not need a registry cleaner. The paid-for ones are scams, and even the free ones do not do anything to improve PC performance. If your PC was having specific registry problems (like an important setting was misconfigured), Windows will tell you, and a "registry cleaner" won’t fix it anyway.

   The only thing "registry cleaners" are good for is ruining your computer more than it already is.
