There are several reasons why these systems slow down Let's start with a simple list:
1) Disk fragmentation
2) Degradation of Windows system files over time
3) Virus or spyware infection
4) Additionally, the registry may be in a poor condition.
FRAGMENTATION: This arises after you have used Windows for a while, opening and closing files and saving new ones. To correct it DEFRAGMENTATION is needed. In Windows, go to 'My Computer'. Right click on the drive that seems to be slow. Go down to 'Properties'. You will see a box headed 'Properties'. Click the 'Tools' tab. There should be a button labeled 'Defragment Now'. Click that one and let the machine sort your files out and put them together again. NOTE: If your files are also in poor condition you may need to run 'Check Now' from the same menu to repair physical drive errors before defragmenting it.

ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial, if that doesn't work, here is a great article about fixing slow running computer
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the blog! Good article, thanks it outlines quite well what the issues are and how to deal with them, starting with removal of unnecessary files (cludge). Unfortunately these maintainance problems arise because windows does NOT automatically do all the things needed to preserve and maintain it in good order. Neither are its users well informed about how to deal with the resulting problems like slow downs and malfunctions. Even the drive format slowly breaks down under the file system!
