6 Tips to Fix A Slow Computer – In Under 2 Minutes

1.  Go Easy On The Display Settings
It is very easy to get carried away with a wide range of visual options.  While you might things that this makes your pc look good – it will also impact on the performance of your computer.  If you get rid of some of those display options you will enjoy a computer that is faster and more reliable.

So how do you fix a slow computer by changing the visual display settings?

Find the control panel on your computer and click the system option.  Go to the advanced tab.  In the performance tab click on the settings.  OK now you will see a wide range of options that can be selected.  I would remove all and only leave the following as selected items.  Show shadows under menus, Show shadows under mouse pointer,  Show translucent selection rectangle, Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop, Use visual styles on windows and buttons

Try out these different options and work out what is best for you.  The main thing is to make sure you do not have too many options as it will make your computer slower.

2.  Remove File Indexing
You may not have heard of file indexing before – but enabling this option on your computer will slow your computers performance markedly.  It uses a large volume of the RAM (Memory) on your computer.  So – we suggest you disable this service and you will notice the difference immediately.
If you go to ‘my computer’ and right click the C: drive.  Then select properties and unselect the “allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching”.  Then apply this change to C: subfolders and files and click OK

3.  Get Rid of Your Desktop Picture
I know you quite like the picture of aunt Dorothy that you have on your computer desktop background!  However, if you get rid of this image and restore default settings for your background you will improve your computer speed and performance.  You are using a lot of memory to have this on your computer background.

4.  Clean Your Computer Registry
Your computer registry is the powerhouse of your computer.  If your windows registry is not free from damage and well organized, your system will become unbelievably slow and is likely to start  freezing, and crashing.  You should regularly clean your windows registry with and effective registry cleaning product to ensure that you computer is running fast and your registry is performing optimally.  Visit www.fixaslowcomputer.com for details on top rated registry products and to perform a free scan of your computer registry to see if it is running at peak performance.

5. Clear your computers ‘prefetch’ folder 
What is ‘pre-fetching’?  Well – this actually refers to when your computer will pre-load frequently loaded applications and data to ensure that your programmes start running faster than without prefetching.  However, after you have used your computer for a period of time it will keep loading some stuff that is no longer necessary.  You should look to regularly empty this prefetch folder to help your slow computer and ongoing pc performance.  GO to the windows folder under your lodal hard disk X:\windows\prefetch (X is the drive where you have Windows installed) or %systemroot%\prefetch

6. How many fonts do you really need?
Another tip on how to fix a slow computer is to ensure that you only have the fonts that you are actually going to use loaded.  Additional fonts will use memory and computer power – especially TrueType fonts.  Get rid of some of these by going to your control panel, visiting the fonts folder and moving the ones you do not require to a temp directory.  That way you can bring them back if need be !

Slow Down $6.99 SLOW DOWN is a Enhanced CD containing both a full audio program as well as multimedia computer files.Personnel: Keb’ Mo’ (vocals, guitar, harmonica); Colin Linden (guitar, mandolin); Anders Osborne (guitar, background vocals); Joellen Friedkin (accordion, keyboards, synthesizers); Gerald Albright (tenor saxophone); Reggie Young (trombone); John Lewis Parker (keyboards, samples); John Barnes (keyboards); Reggie McBride (bass); Laval Belle (drums); Munyungo Jackson (percussion); Sir Harry Bowens, Sweet Pea Atkinson, Lisa Linson (background vocals).Producers: Keb’ Mo’, John Lewis Parker, Chuck Trammell.All tracks have been digitally mastered using HDCD technology.SLOW DOWN won the 1999 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.Let’s dispel a common misconception right off the bat; Keb Mo is not a blues singer. To call him one would be as limiting as calling Lyle Lovett a country singer. He’s got his finger in too many musical pies to be tied down to one tradition. As SLOW DOWN makes plain, his songs are certainly bluesy, but like Taj Mahal, he takes the style an mingles it with so many others that a new paradigm is created.Keb Mo’s snappy, soulful acoustic guitar is the central element of most of the tunes here, but there’s everything from funk to R&B to ’70s-sounding rock-pop at work in these songs. As a composer, Keb Mo knows how to get down to the basics of human emotions and trials without lapsing into cliche, and his no-nonsense vocal delivery communicates his message effectively. Blues traditionalists may not get what they’ve been led to expect from SLOW DOWN, but if they’ve got butts and feet, they won’t be able to keep ‘em still.
