5 Ways to Speed Up Your PC
|
 |
Written By:

No matter how fast your processor and regardless of how
much ram you carry, there comes a time when you realize
your computer just doesn't run as fast as it did when you
bought it.
Windows loads slower, programs take longer to launch,
and, in general, your computer drags like it just came
off a 2-night drinking binge.
If this sounds like your situation, these 5 tips should
help you get some extra speed from your PC.
~ Disk Cleanup Utility ~
You may not realize it, but just because you finish with
a file doesn't mean your computer does.
In many cases, if your computer's hard drive were a
garage, you would have unused junk files piled 20 feet
high and spilling out into the street.
Everyone should use the Windows "Disk Cleanup Utility" to
delete old, unused, and temporary files that clog your
hard drive.
Click Start, point at All Programs (or Programs),
Accessories, System Tools, and click Disk Cleanup.
Analyze your hard drive for files you can eliminate and
it may shock you to see how much hard drive space (and
speed) you can free up with a few clicks.
~ "Defrag" ~
Imagine a properly maintained hard drive as room the size
of Wal-Mart filled with filing cabinets.
Now imagine ripping open every drawer of every filing
cabinet, slinging the contents onto the floor and trying
to find one document -that's a fragmented hard drive.
Sometimes lack of speed simply results from your computer
working too hard to find the files it needs.
You can solve this problem by "defragging" your hard
drive.
Click Start, point to All Programs (or Programs),
Accessories, System Tools, and click Disk Defragmentor.
Choose the disk you want to - continued below ...

defragment and expect to let
the program run for several hours.
~ Uninstall Unused Software ~
We all maintain software on our systems we rarely, if
ever, use.
That software can steal system resources. Click Start,
Control Panel, and "Add Remove Programs" to pull up a
screen that allows you to remove old programs you don't
use anymore.
Simply select and uninstall all programs you know for
sure you don't need or want.
~ Buy More RAM ~
Increasing your RAM, a computer's memory, can
dramatically increase speed when running certain
operations or programs.
RAM costs so little now that you should install the
maximum amount of memory your system can handle.
~ "Stop Them At Startup" ~
This operation requires a bit more technical savvy than
the other four, so proceed with caution.
Many programs load into the system tray in the lower
right of your computer's desktop and consume system
resources even if you never use them.
Click Start, Run, type in msconfig, and press Enter.
Click the "Startup" tab to see a list of programs that
automatically start with Windows.
Clear the check box next to programs you know you don't
want to load at startup.
But don't clear any checkbox unless you are 100% certain
of a program's purpose.
Once you finish, click OK and it will prompt you to
restart Windows.
