COMPUTER TOO SLOW? Your Windows operating system may need a clean up to resume its speed

by Conrad Blomberg

After running their new computer for a time, users often complain that their new machine has slowed down. It just does not run as fast as it did on Day 1.

What is the cause? And, further, what can be done to speed it up again?

The problem is very apt to be in the Registry of your Windows operating system. OK, but what is the Registry?

The Windows Registry is a database which keeps settings and options for Microsoft Windows operating systems. It has information and settings for hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, and also your per-user settings.

There are two basic elements in the registry: keys and values

Registry Keys are like folders - in addition to values, each key can contain subkeys, which may contain further subkeys, and so on. Keys are written with a syntax similar to Windows’ path names, using backslashes to ishow levels of hierarchy.

An example would be (you don’t really need to read this if you dont want to– it will not solve anything):

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESoftwareMicrosoftWindows refers to the subkey “Windows” of the subkey “Microsoft” of the subkey “Software” of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE key.

The most common PC troubles are usually found at locations spread throughout your PC. Now that we know the cause, what is the solution to the problem?

You should get a “scanner” which allows you to scan for invalid registry entries that may be causing your PC to become creakily slow. This is software which will tell you where the errors exist, and what potential problems they might cause.

Good scanner software will then fix the problem and your sloggingly slow computer will suddenly find itself running at full speed.

The result is that both you and your now lightning fast computer will be happy as clams in a mud bank. Well, that is just a saying … computers just DETEST mud.
