Is your computer running so slow that it is becoming frustrating? Well you are in for some great news, there is an easy fix that works and will get your computer back up and running like when you first got it.One thing that will slow your computer down is the number of programs we have collected that we no longer use. So you want to go into the Control Panel > Add Remove Programs and delete the programs that you no longer use or use rarely. This will free up memory and speed up your computer.Next you will want to go in and clear out your cache, history, temporary files and cookies. The temporary files on your computer can grow to a huge amount in a very short time and this alone will cause your computer to run extremely slow.Defraging your hard drives is a must and many people either don't do it or don't know how to do it, but it again is something that must be done on a regular basis to keep your computer running smoothly. What a defrag does is it organizes all your files in the correct order, because as you use your computer, new files get put all over the place and not where they belong. This in turn makes it easy for your computer to pull that information faster when it is in the correct spot.Lastly and the most important is to not only clean but repair your registry. A simple fix, but the most common reason your computer can come to a screeching halt. The registry errors can grow just like the temp files, with entries that are no longer needed or corrupt.The registry has all the settings and options for every program and hardware on your computer. As these errors start to stack up your operating system will get slower and slower, until your computer crashes. Running a free scan to your registry the fix becomes easy. The scan will look and find all errors that are located in the registry, making your computer slow down. It will also detect errors that could cause your windows operating system to crash and not restart.More than likely the first time you run a scan on your registry, it will find possibly hundreds or errors. Now don't get concerned, automatically all these errors will get fixed within minutes and will not only speed up your computer, but will keep it from crashing all the time.
