   If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don’t always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

   First, 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. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

   2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

   1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
   2. Click Start, click "Control Panel", and then double-click "Internet Options".
   3. On the General tab, click "Delete Files" under Temporary Internet Files.
   4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the "Delete all offline content" check box , and then click OK.
   5. Click OK.

   3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

   1. Open your Start menu.
   2. Click Run
   3. In the command screen type "msconfig.exe"
   4. In the "system configuration utility",click either "service" or "startup" tab
   5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
   6. Click "OK"

   Run your up to date anti virus. Weekly scan is good. Remove unnecessary application or those application that you rarely used. De-frag your computer.How? Open my computer>right click to the local drive>properties>tools tab>defragment now. Remove also some startup program/application that don’t need to run at start up.How? Start>run>type "msconfig" then Start up tab> unchecked those application that you don’t have run at start up. Upgrade your memory.

   this solution might not be for you, but this is what i do.

   i format the computer every 6 months. really.

   i found it better than removing everything else i was able to install, simply because after uninstalling these programs, the pc seem to go a little faster, but not as fast when you totally re install everything from a clean installation.

   it has something to do with the dll’s that leave foot prints in memory that isnt really taken out when you do an uninstallation. i got tired of this hence, the i re-install everything, including the operating system.

   now i can install everything and test every app i want to test, after 6 months, my pc is fast again, and this time, i only install the apps that i have specific need.

   hope it helps.

   Off-load all your pics, vids, & music to dvds and cds.
   Uninstall all those free web browser add-ons
   Uninstall all the extraneous programs you got for free like Limewire & such
   Delete all your temporary internet files & cookies
   Edit your startup files and delete what you don’t need
   Run disk cleanup
   Download Avira Anti-virus
   Download Spybot Search & Destroy
   Download Ad-Aware SE personal

   Reboot and uninstall all your anit-virus stuff, all your spyware stuff, and all your malware stuff. Install Avira, Spybot, and Ad-Aware. Update and scan your computer one at a time.

   Run disk cleanup again
   Run disk defrag.

   Good Luck

   CCleaner is free and great quality. Highly recommend it. Be careful with the registry cleaner though. Choose the back up copy option. Also try going to Trend Micro "House Call" it’s also free. Spyware and other Malware will slow your ‘puter down greatly. Any questions just ask.

   Using a registry cleaner can 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!
