   There are a few, but it’s usually better to determine your specific issue, and find a program or step-by-step instructions for fixing it.

   Always keep your data backed up – and make a backup of your registry before messing with it.

   Remember – when in doubt, leave it alone.

   Sure, CCleaner.com, it removes all files registry and other that are crowding your computer. But dont worry, it only removes the files that are unused. I use it all the time, I am an IT at a hospital, and I use it on all of our computers, and I usually see instant results after running the program, and restarting. Also you backup before you do anythng! it has an automatic saving function.

   Unfortunately im not sure how much that will help. Windows 2000 is possibly the most retarded version of windows ive come across (baring in mind ive not checked Vista yet) and had oh so many flaws in it. My advice would be to upgrade to Windows XP (provided your PC is up to spec) or buy an Apple.
   But for the moment i would advise downloading a program called Registry Mechanic… that should take care of some of the issues the rest is probably Windows 2000 throwing a hissy fit.

   I only had Windows 2000 for a few short months and moved on to XP without ever looking back. So, I remember little of what to do for it. However, Microsoft does have a free service, Live OneCare Cleanup Scan. I imagine it will work on Win2000 as well as XP. You can at least try it. It’s fast and simple.

   to speed up ur computer …
   follow that ::–

   1.CLEAN YOUR TEMPORARY FILES AND OBSOLETE REGISTRY ENTRIES REGULARLY. how ?? —>
   Download CCleaner and run it’s Cleaner section, once daily, before shutting down your computer.
   It removes all the trash files that are created while surfing through the net. Use its Issues
   section once a while to delete all the unused registry keys. Another good cleaner, Disk Cleaner,
   can be used along with CCleaner for even better results.

   2.REMOVE ALL THE UNWANTED AUTO-START ENTRIES. MOST IMPORTANT PART
   If you have a lot of Auto Start entries, then you should remove them. To do so, go to Start > Run.
   Type ‘msconfig’ in the box and then click ‘Startup’ tab. Uncheck anything that is unnecessary.
   Of course, you can revert that in future. Just go back to MSConfig and check anything back that
   you removed from the start-up list. However, you should not remove any of the security related
   startups (read next point), like the real-time shields of your anti-virus / anti-spyware, firewall etc.

   3.KEEP YOUR COMPUTER SAFE AND GET RID OF VIRUSES AND ALL OTHER FORMS OF MALWARE.
   Any Windows computer connected to the Internet MUST have an anti-virus, a firewall and and one or two anti-spyware.
   They MUST be regularly kept updated with the latest detection databases. The real-time monitoring of the anti-virus and any one of the anti-spyware should always remain active .
   I give u some free and good anti-virus, anti-spyware and firewall, you can get them get them all:
   > Anti-virus: AVG
   > Anti-spyware: Spyware Terminator , a-squared Free
   > Firewall:Comodo Personal Firewall

   N.B. Never keep two anti-virus or firewall on a single system. If you are already using a good anti-virus
   or firewall, then you need not download the corresponding one. You can, however, use as many anti-spywares
   as you want, provided you use the real-time protection shield of only one of these.

   3.ALWAYS MINIMISE THE USAGE OF RAM.(Only for those with 256MB or less RAM)
   For this purpose, you may keep a virtual memory booster as an auto-start entry. It frees the clogged RAM.
   I use RAM Booster, which is very effective. Here is the link to download it:
   http://www.download.com/rambooster/3000-...
   To configure it, please follow these steps:
   * Click on Edit > Options and tick the follow options:
   (a) Set auto optimisation on
   (b) Show CPU usage
   (c) Start minimised
   (d) Launch automatically at start up
   Also, change the ‘Auto Optimisation Level’ and ‘MB of RAM to free at auto level’ as per your requirement.

   4.DON’T JAM YOUR MOTHER DRIVE (C:).
   Keep at least 35% of your C: free. Transfer all the music, image and video files to other drives.

   5.DEFRAGMENT THE HARD DRIVES PERIODICALLY.
   Defragment the hard drives (especially C:) once every month. To defrag, go to Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools >
   Defragment. It takes a lot of time (50 minutes or over) so don’t become impatient. It’s for your computer’s good.

   6.You may get the free Google Web Accelerator to boost up your Internet speed http://webaccelerator.google.com/

   7.ALWAYS KEEP YOUR RECYCLE BIN EMPTY.

   8.USE MINIMUM POSSIBLE SHORTCUTS ON YOUR DESKTOP.

   9.IF YOU HAVE GENUINE WINDOWS, KEEP IT UPDATED EVERY MONTH. IT HELPS A LOT BY FIXING MANY VULNERABLE SECURITY ISSUES

   10.HEAVY GAMES CAN PUT A LOT OF PRESSURE ON VIRTUAL MEMORY. SO, STAY AWAY FROM THEM IF YOU HAVE 512MB OR LESS RAM.

   11.SET YOUR WALLPAPER TO BLANK.
   You will hate this suggestion, but believe me; blank wallpaper helps a faster startup.
