Hi you can improve performance of your computer without spending any money. follow these simple steps to increase speed for free. You need not be an expert to follow these steps. If you are still facing issue I will help you with another idea. 1.Free up disk space by removing temporary Internet files. 2.Empty recycle bin. 3.Run disk defrag. 4. Use disk clean-up. 5. Modify MS.Config to stop unnecessary programs. 6.Uninstall unnecessary software or applications installed. 7. Don't save every file in desktop when downloaded from internet. 8. clean your registry **needs good tech knowledge*** 9. Delete Cookies. 10. Free up disk space by deleting unused data. If you know some more good tips please share with me.

I would like to add few more: 1. Stop services that you don't use (Like Windows Messenger etc) by going to: Control Panel Administrative Tools Services 2. Keep windows to the default settings as much as possible (like don't change the theme, don't use log on themes etc) 3. Leave ample space in the drive where your Operating System is installed. 4. Extend the amount of Virtual memory. 5. Do not install unwanted software or uninstall the ones you don't use.

Hi dear.... its really nice of you that sharing a valuable information. i would like to add one more point. regularly scan virus adware and spyware on your computer. most of the virus adware and spyware starts background services on your PC. you can view and trace it from taskmnager. this is also caused by system slow.

Pretty good tips :) There are tools around the net that can automate that for you, especially the registry clean-up. I always say "Don't use a desktop background" but I'm a memory horder haha. I don't even run a window manager most of the time ^^
