Having a slow computer can lessen enjoyment of being on the internet.

My problem was that my computer did not have enough memory. I wanted to do more with my computer than it was able to. So, I got a 1gb memory chip and things are running a lot faster. I also use the disk cleaner and defrag every week.

I have broadband, a live box, everything I can to keep my computer to speed, but occasionally, my security programme or my e-mail slows it down. When this happens, I just reboot and everything is back up to speed again. Brightest Blessings.

I make sure that I defrag at least once a week and check my control panel often to make sure there is nothing there that is not in use or that is not supposed to be there among a few other things, it's a pretty old computer but it still runs pretty good (fingers crossed}.

Yah I agree with you there. I have experience this situation. When I still have a dial-up connection. I have fell asleep when I was surfing the net. Because it takes long to load a page.

it is really annoying if your computer slow in respond to any command. you wait couple of minutes before if opens the window. before experience very slow and it take 10 minutes before my computer open. but i solve the problem by deleting all files on my computer after i got the back up (burn it into hte cd) so no files inside then i defrag. from now on my computer is now faster to respond.

I don't use anything. I just format once awhile, that keeps the computer clean.

I use Ccleaner as well. I found it gets rid of a lot more then just using the delete section under Internet tools. When I first got it I looked to see what cookies it found. It found ones from sites I hadn't been to in a year and I had been deleting my cookies quite a bit. I've really noticed a difference when I use it. I also defrag regularly and when needed do a reboot. Often times that is what it needs, is just rebooting to get it to start moving normally again.

Well, if my computer is slowing down, I will firstly ensure the startup programs are minimised to the ones that are necessary for use, defrag my hard disks to make sure the data are more organised and lastly, to uninstall the programs and clear those files and folders (including browser cache)... But of course, these only help a little at speeding up the computer. If upgrading of components is above my budget, I will probably choose to overclock my system instead....At least the cooling fans will be cheaper than the components..

i just defrag my laptop whenever i see that it kinda slows down
