How tuning your computer up can make it run better?
Reviewed by Bram P
My computer had been running slowly for quite some time and I was beginning to consider buying a new one. I looking through the usual computer sites like Dell and PC World and they had some really good offers on. What did strike me though was that the spec on new computers was not so different from that of my current machine and an upgrade would be expensive. Once I had realized this I decided to pursue a different course of action and find a way to get my current computer running faster.
I began my research on how to make the computer run faster online. I typed “fix a slow computer” in to Yahoo and it produced a lot of results, most of which were for software programs which I didn’t want to rule out as an option but before I used these I wanted to find an unbiased guide to other free steps I could use. I found this eventually a few pages down the listings.
The guide began with a few simple steps such as removing unused items from the desktop and getting rid of programs such as I tunes which run as soon as you load the computer up. This did cause the computer to load much quicker but did not make much difference to the overall speed.
He guide began with a few simple steps such as removing unused items from the desktop and getting rid of programs such as I tunes which run as soon as you load the computer up. This did make the computer load faster but didn’t really change the overall running speed of it. After that the guide stated I needed to defrag my hard drive. This took a long time to do although I didn’t actually have to do much it was more of a case of set it running and then go and make a drink. After I had defragged the hard drive I did notice an improvement in performance but I still felt that I could get more out of the computer so I went on to the next step, The next step was to repair any windows registry errors on the computer. These errors cause the computer to run slowly. Fixing them involved getting a free scan and then once the errors have been identified paying a small amount of money to get them fixed. Fixing the errors did make a big difference although I still think a new computer would have been better.
