Slow Running Computer?–speed it Up With Registry Cleaner Software
When a Windows computer has been used for some time it tends to slow down,freeze sometimes and occasionally even crash completely. It may take months or years depending on how much you use your machine but it will happen.
Why is this so? The reason is nearly always a corrupt registry which has become bloated with data and useless files. Every time you install or uninstall a program incompletely, fragments of the program will remain in the registry causing it to become choked with data after some time.
The registry is something which all Windows PCs have. It is basically a database of entries which the operating system uses to run the machine. When it becomes bloated with too many fragments of data the operating system has to find its way through all the excess entries to locate the data it needs to run the computer and programs. This causes a very noticeable slow down and balkiness in the operation of the machine.
The only way to correct this problem is to remove all the unwanted data entries from the registry. All windows PCs have a function called Regedit which is intended for just this purpose. You can access Regedit by clicking START-RUN then typing Regedit in the box. When you are ready to start using Regedit you must first back up your registry so that you can restore it if something goes wrong. This is done by clicking FILE then selecting EXPORT. Name the backup file so that you can find it and save to your desktop or elsewhere.
You can now proceed to go through the registry entries and remove any you do not want. When you examine the registry entries you will see that you are faced with a formidable task. Unless you really know what you are doing it will be obvious to you that you need help at this point. Just remove one wrong entry and you can completely disable the computer which we certainly do not want to do.
Fortunately help is readily available in the form of an online registry cleaner application which can do the job quickly and safely. A good registry repair utility will backup your registry then delete all unecessary entries from the registry. This will easily and safely clean the registry in a matter of minutes and return the computer to being the sweet running fast machine it was before the registry became corrupt.
We purchased several of the most popular registry cleaner applications and tested them to see which was best. We found that they vary greatly in ability to detect errors in the registry. The best registry cleaner applications could detect many more wrong entries than some of the others.

Why is my computer running slow?
I have an oldish computer that, until I started using internet on, worked just fine. I got the computer from a friend who i know kept it in great shape. However, I seem to have trouble with the speed of the computer. I’ve run anti-virus software, anti-spyware software, windows washer, I’ve defraged the harddrive, used disk clean-up, and also a registry cleaner. I’m starting to run out of ideas and was wondering if anyone had any insights to a potential cause. Maybe needs more ram memory? I appreciate any help to this problem.
If you’re sure it’s clear of spyware and viruses…
could be that your internet connection isn’t all that fast. you can test that at http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest
you can try to upgrade the RAM (check http://www.crucial.com) but may find that it is rather pricey for an older computer
I assume you are on a cable or DSL inernet connection. If you are using a direct cable and not wireless, should be plenty fast. If it’s a very old network card (10mbps) you might want to upgrade it to a 100 or 1000mbps card. If you have a wireless card (802.11b) you might want to upgrade to 802.11G or N.
Try another browser like Google Chrome or FireFox instead of internet explorer. Uninstall any junk programs you don’t use, especially stuff that runs in the system try by the clock at startup.
A free but annoying way to speed up a computer is to reinstall Windows.

I would start with using CCleaner the link is below. Run the Cleaner for Windows and Applications. Then Scan your registry for issues. Then, click on the Tools button. Uninstall any programs you don’t use. Click on the Startup button – Right click and disable as many programs as you can.
This will trim down your system. If you still have speed issues. Go buy a new Windows machine and load Ubuntu on this one.

Another major reason is that you have probably got a virus. Go and run a virus scanner such as one called AVG Free. You should have had a virus or firewall software supplied with your computer, but this must be updated frequently to combat the new viruses which seem to come online.
Lastly you could have spyware or adware. I do hate these pesky things. They run in the background collecting relevant information. For me it is kind of scary. Again you can have a free scan of your computer with Adware Alert at:
