Make My Computer Faster

As we grow old, and as I realise that inevitably, I shall pile on the years and age shall catch up to me, I realise I am not as fast as I was when I was a teenager, nor am I flexible, nor did I remember having those aches and pains as before. I like to apply this logic to anyone who has ever owned a desktop or laptop computer - it was fast, furious and a cutting edge machine the day you bought it; but now as dog years is to computer years, few short months down the road, it has become old, irritable and constantly complaining of such gobbledegook as runtime errors and blue screen messages that prelude a suddenly all familiar crash. How can I make my computer run faster, I asked myself often and looking at myself, I feel the answers are obvious.

Clutter. I liken it to fat deposits that seem to appear magically after a good week's meal. After a few months of installing and uninstalling programs, some of them junk and fast fixes to a digital diet, a quick craving for something that catches our eye on a download link - we leave traces of their existence, even when we try our best to uninstall them. Free floating files, temp files and unused DLL's are just some of the clutter that they can leave behind. They choke the arteries and tubes of your Windows OS and cause it to wheeze and blither at every turn. Time to give it a crash diet. Remove programs you are not using, delete those that are eating a lot of memory and customise your start ups so that a minimum amount of programs are loaded at any one time.

Viruses and malware. When we get sick, we aren't exactly at the top of our game. Computers get sick as well, and there are a host of pandemics that are floating around cyberspace just waiting for their moment to get their claws on your computer. They eat away at your memory, install bogus programs, launch background applications, send emails, steal your passwords - all at the cost of some serious performance. Once they get into the ram sectors of your drive and start fiddling around with crucial DLL's and virtual memory banks - you will either get a slow or dead computer. Go to the doctor and get an antivirus program that reveals to you these viruses and worms you didn't know you had in your computer. Clearing them out will do you a world of good and speed things up pronto.

Your registry. It is the brain of your computer. And I wouldn't be the first to say the brain is the most important part of our body. The registry can be rife with missing shared DLL's, unused file extensions, active X issues, obsolete software, bad registry values - all caused by bad program installs or members of the malware and virus families leaving their footprints all over the nerve cells of your registry. Get a good registry optimiser and cleaner, they have the delicate hands antivirus programs do not to fix a rampant problem in all slow PC's.

These are the ways you can make your computer run faster, and there are many more issues you and know one else knows about. It's a start, a good one, to gaining back some speed in your machine.

Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to spend much to speed up your computer. You don't need advanced upgrades of a few hundred dollars, nor do you need to think about investing in thousands of dollars of new equipment to pump out more speed from your slowly chugging computer. Here, I will give you the affordable - 3 sure-fire ways to speed up computer.

First, upgrade your memory. Unfortunately in this day and age, programs require a high minimum system requirements; games, applications, etc. In fact any software whatsoever - gives you that hope that you might just be able to run that new fangled program or power house action packed game. The bottleneck is usually RAM memory, the virtual memory that Windows and all programs use to cache information and load up applications. A quick and cheap RAM upgrade (and it is cheap, looking at the market prices nowadays), can do wonders to shift from screaming at the computer to a screaming computer, trailblazing across the digital divide. 1 gig of additional RAM more will do wonders to speed up a computer.

Secondly, defragment and clean up your computer. Everyone, and I mean everyone, has found some program, some application that has been eating precious megabytes of memory just lying in the background doing absolutely nothing. And the worst thing is, you could have put it there, forgot about it and thought everything would be dandy. Then there is the case of spyware and adware, the prevalent pandemic of online surfing, installing programs, gathering information and inundating your PC with pop ups. Then you have the problem of a fragmented drive, an inevitable consequence of months of program and clutter build-up. Clean out your PC, remove programs which you don't need, make sure your Start Up only loads programs you need and most importantly, defragment your drive every few weeks - these methods are FREE, easy to do and will take up very little of your collective time; if you compare pulling at your hair as Internet Explorer takes ages to load.

Optimise and clear up your PC, especially your registry. We may think we are Steve Jobs' next protégé, but no one can comb through their entire gigabyte libraries and weed out all the loose temp files, all the bad program installs, all the trailing DLL's and system files no one is using. Build up of temporary internet files, image files, online cookies, active x controls all build up over time. Even the registry, after a few months, becomes a sand dune of bad values, orphaned embedded keys and a scratch surface of infiltrating worms and Trojans to corrupt its structure and cause an ultimate slowdown of your computer.

Get a good cleaner software. More than a hundred of these problems can be cleared up in less than 15 minutes of a simple click of a mouse. You will notice a speed difference almost immediately, and best of all, these programs are cheap, dependable and backed up by professionals with an eye for user-friendliness and feasibility.

A combination of these methods will revitalise anyone's speed woes - take it as a personal guarantee from me. Sometimes it's not about buying a new PC just to get back that feeling of speed - it's taking the effort to do a little maintenance that will benefit you over a long time. Try these simple methods to speed up computer today, and avoid a future of hair-pulling and frustration.
