PC SLOW problem

Ok, I’ve heard it all before.

Heres just some tricks I know that can increase your computers performance to new!
You can get any computer to run as good as a new computer, without upgrading, just using some ‘Spring Cleaning’ tips. Sure, at some point in time you’ll have to upgrade the RAM modules, or graphics card, or maybe even purchase a whole new computer package, but this will give you some added performance without spending the extra dollar.

Here we go!

* Uninstall ANY programs you don’t need
* Delete ANY files you don’t need (even if they are 250kb or less) – You can obtain highest disk performance when your hard drive space isn’t over 25% used.
* Use the disk clean-up option in Windows
* Turn off System Restore (if you don’t have any troubles with Windows)
* Use programs like Fast Cleaner - Most of these programs do the same thing, so any cleaning program should do just fine.
* TuneUp Utilities 2009 - Suggested by [TA]BAT
* Uniblue Power Suite - Another program like TuneUp, but this is a lot more advanced, best to have both programs together.
* PC Accelerator - Used by [TA]BAT to speed up his snail.
* Revo Uninstaller - Suggested by Rick, used by many others. Uninstall your programs completely using Revo, not just most of it using Windows uninstaller.


Once you have got rid of as much as you can:

* Defragment your hard drive <- A GOOD solution to speeding up your computer, but only works if you haven’t got a hard drive that’s full of junk

You can also use other ways to increase performance, not by much, but you’ll get that little bit extra by:

* Cleaning out your computer (ONLY if you know what you are doing, if you don’t you can destroy your computer quite easily)
* Supplying adequate cooling, keeping temperatures low, but not freezing.


I hope that helps.
