Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some regsitry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
Everytime 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 Regisry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!
There are some comparison and review of TOP 5 registry cleaners.

You can download and scan your computer for free.
Use reg cleaner, it can help u to speed up you computer.
Programs such as RegCure Go to:http://top5registrycleanerreviews.com/registrycleaner.htm work by scanning all of your files and hard drives and then creates a cue report of any problems if finds. It's not uncommon to find out that your computer has literally hundreds of irregular settings and errors – in fact when we did a test of the program on a computer in our office, it found 916 errors on the initial trial scan.
The main advantage of using a registry repair program is it will instantly fix the majority of the problems that are slowing down your computer quickly and safely – and is a whole lot cheaper than having a technician look at your computer. It also has a feature that allows you to stop programs from loading when you turn on your computer which is often a problem for older systems with too many start up applications trying to get started every time you boot your machine up. In addition, Registry Patrol will also clean what is called your cache files which will dramatically speed up your internet performance.
This may help!

SPEED UP
1st off,there are many reasons that a computer gets slow and pokey
a] spyware infested
b] virus infection
you SHOULD have BOTH anti virus AND anti spyware protection installed.
there is NO reason NOT to,not when they're FREE
http://browseraddons.friendpages.com
c] another is lack of memory. toss in at least a GIG
[ Vista REQUIRES at LEAST 2 GIG's ! to run smoothly ! SPECIALLY GAMERS ! ] and that free memory will speed things up
d] disk clean :
this applies to BOTH XP & Vista
start–all programs
accessories tools
now click system tools and then disk clean
you will be asked which drive,choose (c)
when the box pops up with all the places you can clean up,check EACH box with ANYTHING showing in the amount box on far right
click clean and ok as many times as it takes to get windows to do the clean up
next,reopen system tools and click defrag
click anylize and if requested,click defrag now
Internet Option clean up:
empty the temp,history and cookie folders
start,control panel,internet options,general:
clean cookies
clean temp files
clear history
set days to keep to 0
Recycle Bin reduction:
right click recycle bin icon,select properties
click,hold,drag slider to LEFT till it says 3% and recover 10% ! OF YOUR HARD DRIVE
System Restore deduction:
start,all programs,accessories,system restore,settings:
click,hold,drag slider to LEFT to #5 and RECOVER ANOTHER 10% OF YOUR HARD DRIVE!
install Ccleaner:
http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/

there are TWO Temp folders [ SURPRISE ! ]
start,my computer,local disk drive (c)
Windows:
Temp folder [ clean it up ]
BACK out to Windows folder and next go to:
Prefetch folder:
clean THAT out
close window
we're ALMOST there,rofl!
next,we want to cut back on the number of programs launching with Windows Boot Program to get a FASTER boot up time.
NOTICE !!
this will NOT remove programs from your computer,merely keep the programs from launching at boot up time!
press windows key + letter R
enter this text below:
msconfig
click startup tab
disable those programs absolutely NOT needed at start up.
things like shockwave,flash,quicktime,java,anti spyware program [ removal type,not BLOCKERS like spyware blaster ]
NEVER DISABLE ANTI VIRUS !!
when you get that stupid nagger reminding you that you changed msconfig,check don't show again and close that nagger box !
Screen Savers:
don't know about you but I reallya HATE those things..they are so UGLY! [ give me my dragons & eagles,lol ]
did you know you can delete those?
well..you can!
XP:
start,my computer,local disk drive (c),windows [ here we depart from Vista ]
look for the icons with the artist paletee & brush,those are your screen savers.
right click and delete away.
find images you like and save as to My Pictues folder,right click image and select set as desktop background
Vista:
start,computer,local disk drive (c),windows,web
open,delete those you don't want but leave at least one
start,pictures,sample pictures folder,delete away

5. Click OK, you're done
Firefox Slow Page Load – Solved
A co-worker showed me an interesting problem with Firefox today. He loaded a page from our application (running on localhost) and the page content loaded instantly, but the page load itself didn’t end until a time out 20 seconds later. Literally.
Everything we saw a measured from the browser or from the sending application showed that the content was sent in milliseconds, and the page load was just sitting there doing nothing. We were even using the latest Firefox beta.
Other browsers had no such problem.
Turns out, we figured out what was going on using the Tamper Data add-on.
Turns out there was a Connection: keep-alive in the header. When we changed it from keep-alive to close, the browser behaved as expected. That is, it loaded the page instantly.
A little web investigation showed that when you use the keep-alive attribute, you must also use Content-Length: header, which the sending application wasn’t doing.
A quick application tweak to send the content length, and everything ran super spiffy.
Now, if you don’t have access to the application that’s sending you web pages, you can twiddle with the about:config and change the network.http.keep-alive setting to false.
right click value and select toggle
Dear friend you have not enough ram for your vista, but it is possible to speedup your pc without any additional ram.
first you install software FREERAMXP PRO from http://www.yourwaresolutions.com . this software free and defreg your unused ram. and another software is PCTHRUST get it from
http://www.swiftdog.com this software allocate cpu power the current selected program. both software make your computer faster.
Another step to speedup your computer is DEFREG your hard disk every 2-3 week. clean unnecessary files. This things make your computer faster.
854 mb is a joke my understanding you need to run atleast 2gb of ram with Vista, You must have one old crappy computer, computers these days come with atleast 1-2 gb min anymore.
I am guessing you computer takes like PCI or a AGP card something out dated and rarely sold anymore?
You need a whole computer unless you plan on just stripping it and rebuilding.
Vista with 854 MB RAM, eh? Well, that sounds like you're also having some RAM used by your video card.
Vista is a beast – it needs more RAM. It costs less than BF2142 itself. Save up and buy some. Then save up and buy a better video card.
Better hardware = faster. Simple as that.
Until you get more RAM (Another 2 GB) vista is going to run terrible.
There are several things you can do to increase the "speed" of your computer. I will mention that you do upgrade your RAM as you do not have sufficient memory for Vista. You need at least 1GB but I recommend 2GB.
1) Clean up the disk. Uninstall unneeded programs (especially those that run at startup and/or put something in the system tray), run Disk Cleanup, and defragment the drive. This is a good first step that will almost always take a few seconds off boot time and application loads for any computer.
2) Stomp auto-starting programs. Click Start > Run and type "msconfig" at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need "Adobe Reader Speed Launch"? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable your anti-virus and important system components.
3) Run a full anti-virus and anti-spyware scan. I would recommend using AVG Free Anti-virus, Spybot – Search and Destroy spyware remover and Ad-aware spyware remover. These programs are all free.
4) Clean up the registry. CCleaner, available at http://www.ccleaner.com is free and worth running. It will also remove unused files from your system – allowing Windows to run faster and freeing up valuable hard disk space.
Those are the easy and free things you can do. If your computer is still slow you need to move on to the bigger guns.
1) Upgrade RAM. This is the one killer trick that will make almost any computer run faster. With an older PC, you will rarely have enough RAM to run today's memory-hogging operating systems and applications, and adding a high-capacity stick or two of quality RAM will give you a quick speed boost. Adding RAM is fairly simple, even for a novice, and you should be able to do the job in 5 or 10 minutes.You can run a free test at http://www.crucial.com and find out what kind of RAM (memory) your computer needs.
2) Reinstall Windows. If the above tricks haven't helped, it may be time to wipe the slate clean and start again, reformatting your hard drive, reinstalling your applications, and restoring your data files from a backup. You'd be surprised how much more responsive a freshly reinstalled Windows system can be, as you've wiped out years of temp files, garbled registry entries, old versions of software programs that have been upgraded repeatedly, and all sorts of other electronic junk. Reinstalling is easy if you have the "recovery disk" that came with your PC, and only a bit more involved if you're using a retail copy of Windows XP. Just be sure you back up everything you want to take with you before you pull the trigger!
3) Upgrade your hard drive. This is a more complicated solution, but if you're reinstalling Windows (per the prior tip) you might consider upgrading to a bigger and possibly faster hard drive, too. Hard disk storage is a performance bottleneck on every machine, and magnetic disks degrade over time. Some performance issues could be caused by a failing hard drive, even, and upgrading to a new model could really put some zip back in your system. As a bonus, you can use the original hard drive for backups or occasional storage, if you put it in an enclosure.
