A slow running computer is such a common problem I make it a point to try to help these customers, or potential customers get their computers running at top speed again without making them bring it to me.  It the computer hasn’t become a non-functionally slow computer, I give these callers a tip before I tell them it is necessary to bring their PC to my shop.

The tip I give them is their computer may be suffering from corruption in the Windows operating system’s registry.  First, I have to find out if they have a good virus cleaner installed on their computer and if it has been updating regularly.  Some people truly won’t know this and I may not always be able to help these folks over the phone.

Most people do have a virus cleaner installed since most computers come with one already installed.  I also, have to ask them which virus cleaner it is.  Sometimes a new virus is out and some of the cleaners are not detecting it yet.  Usually, I would know this and this could be the problem.  Another thing is, some virus cleaners are just virus cleaners and spyware could sneak by them undetected.  For this reason, sometimes it is necessary to have both a virus cleaner and a spyware cleaner installed on a computer because any virus or spyware can slow down a computer.  Some of these parasites could slow down a PC a great deal.

After asking a few of these questions and being relatively sure the computer is not infested with a virus or spyware, and if it sounds like the computer is capable of running a software program, even if it does so slowly, I will suggest running a registry cleaner.

There are several things that will make a computer run slower, sometimes, much, much slower.  However, if it is a reasonable guess there is no virus or spyware on a computer that has become slow, it very often is corruption in the registry making the computer’s operating system need to work very hard to get very little done. 

When a  caller seems to be a victim of registry corruption, I will give them a website address where they can go to get a free scan.  If it turns out their registry is corrupt they can pay about $30-40 to clean the registry all they want for a year.  It has been my experience this helps just about all these types of callers to get their computers running fast again for a lot less than they would have to pay for my services.

So, what happens?  Why is it almost inevitable our computers will start to turn on us by getting so slow they are a pain in the neck just to boot up?  What can we do to spare ourselves from this misery?  How can we make these fun to operate machines fun to operate once again?

First of all, usually it isn’t the computer itself that is causing the loss of speed.  In  most cases, nothing has happened to the PC.  So, if this is true with your slowing computer, which it probably is, it is the Windows operating system causing
your woes.  If you were running DOS for instance, your computer would still be humming along at a high rate of speed.  Of course, DOS is useless to us these days, but the point is you don’t have to get your computer fixed to get your computer speed back.  You have to get your Windows fixed.

Also important to note is when you need to get your Windows fixed, you don’t have to take your PC to a guy like me to fix it.  Unless it is really, really in bad shape!  Most times your operating system has developed registry corruption and this is what has made the PC become slow.  By the way, this doesn’t mean you did something wrong that caused your registry to accumulate corruption.  Registry corruption is a normal phenomenon in Windows operating systems in today’s computing world.   It has always been that Windows operating systems were prone to corruption.  However, with the smaller files and speeds of older operating systems, corruption didn’t cause as much havoc as it does now.

Think of it this way; the more speed you have, the more speed you have to lose.  Your old 386 microprocessor running at 33mhz would never support Windows XP, let alone Vista.  So, a slowdown in this ancient mariner of a computer would be hardly be noticeable.  Nowadays, you need all you computer’s resources to push around Windows XP and Vista.  When registry corruption makes these huge files systems even bigger, no computer has enough resources to keep the OS at top speed.

The bottom line is a non-corrupt registry makes for a streamlined Windows operating system.  With no corruption in your OS’s way to bloat it and bog it down, your computer will have enough power to push the OS to its maximum potential.  This means no slowdowns, no error pop ups and no more aggravation.

So, how do we get rid of the boat of registry corruption?  Answer:  We use a good registry cleaner regularly.  That’s all there is to it.  Everyday, more and more people are coming to the realization that registry cleaners are a very important computer maintenance tool. It is even worth having one if you have not yet run into computer speed problems, but if you do have a slow running PC, cleaning you Windows registry is a must!

I’ve tried running other OS’s, namely Linux, but for me, it just wasn’t worth it.  The advantages to Windows far outweigh the disadvantage that I may have to deal with a slowdown now and then.  So, I happily use My Windows operating system and prepare myself for the challenge of keeping it running at top speed.

There are little things you can do to make sure your Windows Vista or XP keeps humming along.  First, when I install a new software package of any kind, I read the small print during the installation process.  Usually, as it installs, the Windows installer will ask you if you want the program to start upon start-up.  In  other words, any time you start the computer.  You should say no to this question.  Why have a program running all the time and stealing your computer’s resources when you can start any program any time you need it by going to the start menu?

Also, make sure you have enough RAM on board and make sure your virus scanner is up to date.  However, the important thing to know about Windows operating systems is their registries become corrupted over time.  This is a more common phenomenon with With Windows XP and Vista than it was with earlier versions of Windows.  Also, there are more ways a registry can become corrupt than there were even just a few years ago.

Knowing all the ways which a registry becomes corrupt is not the important thing.  Understanding that you must keep your registry from accumulating corruption is very important.  It is also important to know registry corruption slows computer processing down significantly and if corruption is let to accumulate over time it will cause errors and crashes.  Registry corruption starts by slowing down your PC.  It could, if let to run wild, ruin your operating system!

The only antidote is running a good registry cleaner from time to time.  This is the only way to guard against registry corruption and it is by far and away the best way to remove corruption that has already accumulated in the registry.  Remember, this comes from a computer technician.  I used to have to remove registry corruption manually before registry cleaners were available.  Believe me, using a registry cleaner is much easier and about a thousand times quicker!

In these instances, improving PC performance makes it necessary to look for other problems.  Even though virus cleaners keep most spyware under check, most virus cleaners will not detect all kinds of spyware.  Because of this, is it wise to get a free spyware scan to see if a poorly performing computer has incidents of spyware on the hard drive.

Also, it has become necessary these days to run a registry cleaner periodically.  This alone has improved the performance of countless sluggish computers.

Finally, if being virus, spyware and registry corruption free does not bring the PC to a point where its performance is very good, I would suspect a bad, outdated or misfit driver.  Tracking down such a problem used to be a mamouth task.  However, now all you have to do is run a driver scanner and this will take care of the problem automatically.

1. Most computer’s come out of the box with virus protection installed on it and most virus scanners find and eliminate most spyware as well as most viruses.
2. Registry corruption has become so widespread in recent years, it is almost a  plaque.  This being the case I would certainly get a free registry scan if I were unsure what was making my computer slow.

It is important to know there are three different ways a computer can become slow:

1. There is some internal problem inside the computer, such as a  bad bank of RAM.
2. There is something mis-configured, such as the virtual memory has ben turned off.
3. The Windows operating system has internal problems.

Two of these three problems could be the result of corruption in the registry.  The second could be caused by registry corruption because most times it is the Windows operating system that keeps such things as virtual memory tuned to the best possible setting.  So, if registry corruption is causing Windows to misfire when making its calculations, the virtual memory may become mis-configured.

The number three way a computer can be become slow is a very popular one.  Corruption builds up in a Windows operating system’s registry for many reasons these days and there are many more avenues through which corruption can gather in a Windows registry than there were, even just a few years ago. 

Corruption itself gives Windows many more obstacles it most sort through when it is performing its operation.  This of course will make a PC appear slow as Windows stumbles around making unnecessary and counterproductive calculations. 

The wise thing to do is to keep the registry free of corruption and the way to this is to make use of a registry cleaner.  With registry corruption out of the way, Windows can perform its operations unimpeded and therefor quickly.  Yes, there are certain internals that can happen to the computer hardware but these are relatively rare.  Most internal problems will shut a computer down altogether.

The first thing that may make a computer run slow is a virus.  Most computers have a virus scanner program installed.  Using a computer without one is computer infanticide.  Still, if your computer gets a virus and it doesn’t kill it altogether, it will at least, slow it down.

The second computer slower dower is spyware.  Spyware is different than viruses.  Many virus scanners will detect and elimiate many forms of spyware from a PC, but not in all of them.  If your computer is slow, at least get a free spyware scan.  You can get one at Best Antispyware.

Finally, registry corruption is very often the culprit behind a slow computer.  However, it is important you are sure you are virus and spyware free before you run a registry cleaner because if you were virus/spyware infested, the results would be misleading.  After you are virus /spyware free, get a free registry scan with a top notch registry scaner program.  You can find a great one here… registry cleaner.

Also, viruses and spyware can cause computer performance to suffer.  Run your virus scanner and if no viruses are
detected try a spyware cleaner.  If you don’t have a spyware cleaner installed you can get a free scan if you search online.

Lastly, a corrupt registry can cause a computer to slow down and perform poorly.  Make sure to clean your registry with a top notch registry cleaner so you can see if the computer’s registry is corrupt or not.  Once again, if you don’t have one, free scans are available.

A person called me up to tell me that her computer is running really slow. The first thing I asked her was if she had a virus scanner installed on her computer and if she had been using it.

She said she was protected against viruses. Also, the virus program she said she was using would protect her computer against the most malicious types of spyware. This is important because spyware will also slow down computer speed.

So, I told her where to get a free registry scan. Unbelievably she said her friend (a customer of mine) had recommended a registry scan with my personal favorite registry scanner and it turned up 838 incidents of registry corruption. However, she didn’t purchase the license to repair the registry corruption because it was too expensive.

Actually, I don’t know the end of the story but I do know this: registry corruption causes more computer speed problems than anything else I have ever seen and I have been in the computer repair business a long time. I also know registry cleaners just aren’t that expensive.

Lastly, I know registry corruption, if left to build for a long period, has the ability to cripple a computer to the point the hard drive will need to be reformatted and I’ve seen it happen.

Using a good registry cleaner won’t assure you the computer will never have a big problem, but geez! Why hurry a catastrophic failure along? Then again, why put up with a really slow computer when you know a registry cleaning will make it fast again? I have no idea!

I told her my recommendation would be to buy the license and get the registry cleaned. Then, I cordially said goodbye.

If I was short of money and had registry corruption but I couldn’t afford a registry cleaner, I would not use the computer until I could get the registry cleaned. Registry corruption breeds more registry corruption. So, using this computer without cleaning its registry will eventually put it flat on its back for the count of ten!

Spyware is one thing that can make your PC run slowly.  Since Spyware can steal private information about you, you
should scan for Spyware to see if any is present on your hard drive.  However, the one thing that I see that is most overlooked and is capable of slowing down a computer to the point of uselessness is registry corruption.

Since you can get a free registry scan with a top notch registry scanner to see if you have registry corruption before you purchase a registry cleaner,  I recommend doing so if your computer has lost some spring in its step.

Does your computer seem like it is running uphill?

Try a free registry scan and see if you have a corrupt registry.

Actually, I probably should hear about it more because many people believe this slowing down process is a sign of age and there is no easy fix for it. Usually, both these assumptions are incorrect because a computer very often will slow down due to registry corruption and ordinary registry corruption is not at all difficult to diagnose or repair when you have the aid of a good registry repair program.

Just because your computer slows down doesn’t mean it needs a major repair.
