How to Speed Up your Computer

Do you constantly seem to be asking yourself – why is my computer so slow? I certainly used to. Within months of buying a new computer its operations would become terribly slow for unknown reasons. This has annoyed me for years, so I figured I’d share a solution to one of the most common reasons behind this reduction in usability – windows registry errors.Your windows registry is a section of your computer that holds data on how your different programs should work.

When you install a program it puts entries in your registry that contain the options and settings which tell your computer how to run it properly. For example, take a program that runs right away when you turn on your computer, like an instant messaging program. When you install a program like this, it puts an entry in your registry that makes your computer to run this program every time you start your computer.Sometimes when you uninstall a program, its registry information is not all properly removed. This means that as time progresses, the the more use your computer gets, and the more programs you install and uninstall, your registry gets bigger. This can cause your computer to become sluggish. Since your windows registry is so convoluted, it takes windows more time to find the entries needed each time you run a program. you start a program, your computer checks your registry to learn how to run the program, having a larger registry means that it will take your computer a greater amount of time to find the required entries. This means your programs will take longer to start.}Another issue that arises when registry entries aren’t properly removed is when you uninstall programs that begin when you start your computer, but the entry in the registry commanding your computer to start the program whenever you turn on your computer is left behind. This means whenever you start your computer, it attempts to run a program that no longer exists. This can cause unresponsiveness and slow operation when you initially start your computer.

There are inumerable other, more complex errors that occur in your registry, that cause anything from slow startups and program load times to system crashes. If your computer is working slowly, or is giving strange errors, try performing a registry scan and clean. A great website for this is Why Is My Computer So Slow? you can perform a free registry scan, and the program is very simple. Usually these registry issues can be fixed in just a few minutes with the right tool, and can usually get your computer back to working at full speed.
