Clean Registry and Optimize PC
Do you have a lot of background programs running like msn messenger, explorer, anti virus, printer/scanner/digital camera programs/drivers etc(icons that you see at the lower right of your screen)? Normally these will eat up your memory causing your Windows PC or Internet to slow down.
Why not give PC Booster 2008 a try to boost your PC performance in 2 minutes. i have used for 3 years and it works great!
If you haven’t cleaned your registry for some time. You should do it now. The registry in Windows PC contains information regarding your 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.
PC Booster contains the latest registry cleaning technology to clean up all your registry problems too.

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"
Other great tip is increasing your virtual memory to simulate more RAM. This will give you a bit more resources for multiple program use or CPU heavy programs.
Hope this link helps. Shows you how to do everything step by step. You should get a least 60-120% more resources and speed
if you follow the tips.
If you are running Vista, the cure would be format:C. Put XP on it.

Hi. Two things. Try WindowsCare. http://www.download.com/Advanced-WindowsCare-Personal/3000-2086_4-10407614.html
Then use ‘Run’ ‘msconfig’ to stop unnecessary programs.
Adding more software to speed up your computer? Like putting cement blocks on your feet to jog faster.
Nothing to buy.
Run msconfig.exe and turn off the boot-time programs you don’t need – or uninstall them altogether. You also need to protect against malware, by installing, updating and scanning with appropriate third-party tools – such as these free ones:
SpyBot [Malware removal, Registry monitoring]:
http://www.spybot.com/en/mirrors/index.html
SpywareBlaster [Malware payload "Click-attack" prevention]:
http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html
AVG Free [classic virus checker – but don’t use its spyware tool]:
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/2/
ZoneAlarm (Free version) by SoftPoint [interactive trainable firewall]:
http://www.soft82.com/download/windows/zonealarm/
Your catch-22 with Windows is that these programs or equivalents MUST be run, updated, maintained, and the scanning functions run regularly, or your Windows ship will eventually sink from slime and rotting – err, from infection by malware.
So it takes time, effort and CPU cycles just to survive using the Internet with Windows. But there are alternatives that are very easy to use. Read on.

The absolute best ultimate speedup? Dual boot Linux. Also a free solution and you keep Windows for – games?
Download the Linux Live CD iso image at http://getpclinuxos.com/KDE/ then burn the iso with the program ImgBurn from http://imgburn.com then install your dual boot using instructions at http://www.ehow.com/how_2147183_add-linux-windows-computer.html
– that’s the fastest and easiest Linux distribution IMHO.
With Linux, your computer will never be slow again. It doesn’t require third-party protection. It never needs defragging. It doesn’t continuously add programs. It doesn’t expose administrative privilege to the world. It multitasks amazingly better than Windows (which is why 89% of the fastest 500 supercomputers use Linux as reported at http://www.itwire.com/content/view/18848/53/ ).
With Windows – well, keep after it and it’s okay for playing.
Good luck!
