I get asked this question all the time.  My computer is running slow, help!  Why is my computer running slow?  How can I fix a slow computer?  Well most people will tell you – just buy a new computer!  This is bad advice.  Before you spend hundreds or thousands on a new system, why not perform some speed tweaks and get your computer running at peak performance.  These are some steps you can take right now to speed up your computer.  There is also a program available that can perform the steps automatically for you in minutes.

•    Remove all temporary and files not being used.  When your computer’s memory gets overloaded, it can slow down your computer significantly.  Eliminating these useless files will clear up some space and should speed up computer access of programs.

•    Defrag your computer.  Microsoft recommends running a disk defragger once a month.  When is the last time you can one.  If you haven’t and are still wondering “why is my computer running slow”, then this may be part of the problem.

•    Clean up registry errors and other problems.  This is by far the most important step you can take.  About 6 months ago I was also wondering why my computer is running slow.  After scanning my registry and being shocked at all the errors in my system I began to understand.  I was amazed at how much it made my computer run faster.

Before throwing money at upgrades or new equipment, perform these steps here.  There area actually quite a few tweaks you can make to speed up computer performance.  I could not list them all in the limited space here.  But I do use a program that can perform these three tasks and a LOT more.  It has an optimization feature that can detect troubled areas and clean them up for you.  Give it a shot and scan your computer for free below.  You have nothing to lose.
