my computer is so slow

« on: 17.11.06, 22:03:31 »


hey everyone.
i' using my computer since 2 yrs.
It has 512 MB RAM. I think it's slower now than in the beginning (thats probably normal!?) What can I do about it? What about defragmentation or hard disc formating...? Please help.

Hi hella,

wenn you format your harddisk, you'll have to completely re-install your windows. And, if you don't save your documents, images, data, it is GONE!


So better think about defragmenting your drive. That should make it run faster again. Therefore, you should shutdown all programs (including the screensaver).

You can use cleaning software, too. But it doesn't really tune your OS. It only tidies up. Anyway it's better to use such software. Try TuneUp Utilities: http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_12993392.html
CCleaner: http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_16317939.html or registry firs aid: http://www.chip.de/downloads/c1_downloads_13004972.html
In addition to that, you should clean up your autostart applications by pushing the "Windows" key and "Break" and insering "msconfig". Then push "Enter", go to register Startup and delete the hooks in front of the unused software entries.
