It happens to us all. Our much loved Windows PC is getting to be a bit of a pain to work on lately. It seems to be running much slower than it used to and it freezes a lot.
A lot of things can cause slow computer problems. One of the most likely is just a shortage of memory for the number of programs you are trying to handle. If you have less than 1 gigabyte of RAM in your machine it may have a tough time keeping up with some memory guzzling applications. This results in slow running as the computer uses some of the hard drive to supplement RAM when needed. The solution to this one is pretty easy--just add some more RAM.
You can add RAM yourself if you know where to go inside the computer. Be sure you buy the right type of memory sticks by looking them up in your computer manual or checking the ones that are in there already. If you have say 500MB of RAM at present upgrading to 1 Gigabyte will not cost all that much and will make a big difference to operation of the computer.You can have a computer repair shop do it for you if you don't know how to do it yourself.
In my next post I will discuss some more reasons for slow running and what you can do about it.Take a look at my Hub Page for more information about fixing your slow computer:Computer Runs Slow

How Is Your Computer Working?
Are you happy with the performance of your computer? The answer to that question probably depends on a lot of things. If it is a brand new fast dual core computer with lots of memory it probably runs really well and you are happy with it. If it is a couple of years old, or more, chances are you are having some problems and you are not happy. What was a fast smooth running computer when you first got it may now be slow as molasses and giving you lots of problems.
You have probably loaded lots of programs and data onto your hard drive and it could be approaching its limit for storage. The best thing you can do there is just to go to the list of programs installed and uninstall all the stuff you don't use. If you haven't looked at the list lately you will be surprised at all the things in there that you really don't need. Be sure to use the program uninstall feature on your computer. Simply deleting icons from the desktop will not do the job.
You may be short on memory also. Many activities these days need a lot of memory to work properly. If you have less than 1 gigabyte of RAM you are in need of additional memory. Memory sticks are quite cheap now so it will not cost you an arm and a leg to add another gigabyte or two. If you are not competent to do the job most computer repair shops will do it for a small fee.
Your registry may also be causing problems.This is the most prevalent cause of slow running in most cases. With long use the registry simply becomes choked with an overload of data. Much of this is completely useless stuff left behind by various programs which you no longer use. The only safe way to correct this is to download a registry cleaner tool from the internet to edit out the uneccessary data. Don't try to do it manually or you may disable the computer by removing some necessary entries. We have found REGEASY to be a very efficient and easy way to keep our computer registry lean and efficient. You can get a free scan from REGEASY to correct registry errors. Why not give it a try.Your computer will thank you for it and will keep you happy by running smoothly and much faster.
