How much valuable time do you waste a day in front of a computer because it is too slow.  Mouse clicks and resulting actions are increasingly far apart. Windows open blank and don't fill in for hours. Programs go into non-responding status; sometimes they recover; sometimes they don't. Rebooting temporarily speeds things up but it takes longer and longer to shut down and restart.

Why? You ask. The speed of light hasn't changed. The circuits can't be slower than on the day you bought your computer. Why is it then you are facing all these problems and wasting your time.

Computers can seem to run slow for many reasons. There are no magic tricks to speed up a slow computer. One must try to determine the nature of the slowness and what factors are causing it. Is it always slow, or just sometimes? If sometimes, then when is the slowness noticed? Does it take forever for the computer to start up? Are there any error messages or other warnings?

Unfortunately, many people point the finger at damaged or corrupted hardware for the problem – citing that this system requires a “large capacity of system resources” in order to work correctly. There are a number of easily curable problems that are more likely to be causing the slow speed. Most of the time, software problems are the cause of a slow system - making it essential that you’re able to clean out any of the possible problems that are causing your system to run slower.

Not only this but many other things factor into the lagging of performance, such as where data is fragmented on a disc can effect how your system can find and use it. How many different programs are active and running at any given time, if a disc is full and not kept fragmented then data is spread about taking the controller arm on the disk longer to locate all pieces of any given information.

Virus and spy ware are an extremely common problem as people do not properly know how to avoid them.

Few things to help you speed up your computer

You can avoid viruses by downloading an anti virus software such as AVG. Also it depends on the RAM it has. If it has too little RAM then the computer needs to place data it needs to access temporarily on the hard drive making the process slower. If you have too much it will take to long to locate the data and will make the process slower. At least 1 gigabyte to 2 gigabytes of RAM is recommended.

Futhermore remove all the big files from your desktop. If your hard disk is full get some external usb hard disk and move all your movies and pictures there. Then update you antivirus and antispyware and run a full scan. After that a defragmentation is a good idea.

Increase virtual memory to enhance the slow computer performance. If you find yourself running out of virtual memory, or keep getting messages showing you the low virtual memory, you had better increase it immediately. To do this, please:
* Right click "My Computer"--Properties
* Click on the Advanced tab. Click Settings button under Performance.
* Click Change to reset virtual memory you want.
Of course, you also can increase virtual memory automatically by freeing up resources in your registry. This can help you fix your slow computer and improve the slow website visiting speed significantly.

Clean up the useless programs in the hard drive and close some unneeded Windows services. How long haven't you cleaned your hard drive? Too many programs in the hard drive will slow down the computer because there is not enough hard space for system running. In addition, Windows services make your computer runs slow. If you turn on all of the Windows services in the daily use of computer, I suggest you just disable some of them. You know that not all of the services are necessary in fact. You can fix your slow computer soon after performing this step.

Scan and fix registry errors. Registry is very important in Windows system. To tell you frankly, it is unavoidable to have registry errors if you install or uninstall programs and visit various website frequently. So what you need to do is to fix registry errors regularly. This can help you make your computer run faster and more stable. Cleaning registry errors also can help you fix and avoid Internet errors, blue screen of death and system crashing problem which caused by the corrupted or malicious registry entries.
