Several Ways....\n\nInexpensive ways:\n\n1. Defragment your hard disc.\n2. If using windows, then run a windows registry cleaner.\n3. If using windows, then do not load unnecessary applications automatically when computer starts \n\nExpensive ways:\n\n1. Increase RAM (memory)\n2. Increase Hard Disc capacity (if it is running too low)\n3. Get a faster Processor (CPU)\n4. If you use graphics intensive applications, then get a graphics accelerator.

Defrag if it needs defragmenting then do a disk clean up every week or so. Won't really make your computer go super fast but as fast as it can go. Also get a good antivirus program such as Norton, McAfee or a free one is AVG. You could add more RAM and a better proccesor. If you dont want to spend that much money then go to some websites to try CPU overclocking. Although that may be for experienced computer users and may screw up your computer if done incorrectly. Also spyware slows down your computer. Download Spyware Doctor, Lavasoft, S&D. Another solution buy a faster computer. :)

Here are the standard remedies:\n\nA major cause of slow PC's is fragmentation of the hard drive.\nYou need to defragment the HD at least once a week if not more depending on how much you use your computer, and what you do with it.\n\nOne way is to use the defragment utility built into Windows XP.  It is slow but does the job rather well.  Go to:\nStart > Programs > Accessories > System Tools   and then click on System Defrag to run the tool.  It will take several hours so let it run overnight or simply walk away from your PC for a few hours.\n\nA great program for defragging automatically is Diskeeper 10. It costs $30 but is well worth it. Go to www.download.com and search for Diskeeper. Read the Publishers Description and the tech and user reviews. It can be scheduled to run automatically as the program deems necessary, and if you are using your PC and the program launches itself, it will take a backseat to whatever you are doing and give you the priority for CPU usage. I think you'll agree it's a good program to have. It precludes your needing to remember to defrag at regular intervals.\n\nAlso, another major cause of a slow PC is programs that are running in the background. Here's another really good Microsoft tool.  Go to Start > Run >   type in msconfig in the box and click OK.\nThis will bring up a window with several tabs at the top.  Click on the “Startup” tab.  It will list the programs that are running on your PC and eating up resources.  Look them over carefully and turn off any that don’t absolutely have to be running.  Simply click on the “check mark” in the little box beside the program name.  Clicking on it will remove the check mark.  Once you have edited the Startup list, click on Apply and then on OK.  Once you have exited the window, reboot your PC for the settings to take effect.\n\nAnother good thing to have is a little program called FreeRAM Pro. It is free and is available from www.download.com This program puts a little RAM meter on the System Tray and shows how much RAM you have remaining that you are not using at any given time.  I think you may be surprised at how little RAM you have to run other programs. Also, once it is installed you can right click on the little meter, then click on RESTORE and it will open the RAM display window. You can tweak the settings so it will display your CPU usage also.  Then just click “Minimize” and then “To System Tray” to return to the Task Bar.\n\nHope this helps

Try number 3 as it is the easiest and quickest way to improve speed.\n\n1) Increase RAM (memory).\n2) Increase free disk space (remove unneeded programs from hard drive, delete temp files and folders, switch to a larger hard drive, add a second hard drive)\n3) Reduce the number of programs running in your system tray/at startup. You can do this by going to Start > Run > type "msconfig" > go to the StartUp tab and deselect everything except critical programs like your anti-virus.\n4) Scan for/remove spyware/adware/malware. \n\nCheck out Advanced Windows Care, it will help with most of this automatically and it's free: http://www.iobit.com/

A little bit more... And check out the link for other tips to speed up your machine.\n\nNow to start open up Mozilla Firefox and in the address bar type ''about:config''.\n\n1. Find '' network.http.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n2. Find '' network.http.proxy.pipelining'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n3. Find '' network.http.pipelining.maxrequests'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to 20.\n4. Find '' browser.turbo.enabled'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n5. Find '' network.dns.disableIPv6'' in the list. When you have found it set the value of it to ''True''.\n6. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''nglayout.initialpaint.delay'' Then set its value to 0.\n7. Now right click anywhere within the Firefox window and select ''New Integer'' and call it ''browser.cache.memory.capacity'' and set a value that suits you for a cache size for this browser, I do reccomend setting a lower amount than 50mb as this will increase computer performance.E.g 16mb ( 16000). <- keep this higher  if you want to concentrate on browser performance.

Hi Jeane,\n  In my site listed below under Computer Talk there is a section that you may want to read called Optimizing your systems performance.  There you can learn to do all kinds of things to remove files/programs, and speed up your system. For a great picture viewer, that allows you to do some neat stuff and is free, search for a program called irfanview.  This will allow you to see pics in a slide show, create thumbnails of them, resize and rotate, and a whole lot more.  Hope this helps.

You can upgrade your CPU (higher frequency and cache)\nGet a motherboard with a faster FSB frequency\nIncrease your RAM\nGet exclusively high speed RAM\nDo not install any unoptimized programs\nRun exclusively programs written in assembly (such as MenuetOS)\n\nOr you could:\nNot use warez\nDon't go to porn sites\nMake sure your system is secure and stable - http://protractive.gdshadow.net/Protractive?action=display;board=softsec;num=1143459943\nMake sure your hard drive is healthy - e.g., by 'fsck'ing / 'chkdsk'ing every 30 or so mounts and defragmenting your drive if applicable\nAllow persistent memory caching to reduce costly IO operations (most OSes do this automatically with sufficient RAM)\nRun fewer background processes\nRun fewer processes at the same time\nRun thread-optimized code - instead of forking and other types of IPC, programs should use threads, if useful\nDisabling some types of security software can increase your system speed, but will result in a less secure system

Defrag your hard drive partitions (All of them)\n\nYou can do this by going in:\nStart > Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Disk Defragmenter.\n\n(This may take an awfully long time!)\n\nIt makes your PC run faster.

My advice would be:\n1.Perform disk cleanup\n2.Defragment hard disk drive\n3.Perform the chkdsk from stage 1 to 5\n4.Do a virus scan\n5.Check the virtual memory. Change to minimum 2095 and \nmaximum 4095 this will increase the speed of your computer.

its a waste of money to purchase more RAM if you don't have a need for it. also uninstall that freeware program you have, it is tasking your existing RAM, and i'm sure it being free, it came with some spyware/adware that is also take'n up your RAM. \n\npurchasing RAM to increase speed isn't always the solution, the BUS speed, CPU, harddrive, all play a role in your preformance.

...by doing a search for "speed up my computer" and "clean my computer"\nthere's lots of little changes you can make to speed things up.

Start --> control panel --> system --> advanced tab --> performance.  Change virtual memory.\n\nBut first I would do a disk clean up and defrag (start --> all programs --> accessories --> system tools --> disk cleanup and after completed, defrag.)

Get a faster CD drive or processor and maybe more RAM.

You didn't say how old your computer is or what kind it is, or what hardware you're using, or what operating system you run, so not much to go on. Is it always slow, or at certain times, e.g. during disk access, or only on the internet, etc. Not much to go on here.\n\nIf you're on dial-up service, then DSL or cable will speed up the internet more than anything else.\n\nIf you are running Win XP, and have less than 512 MB of memory, then the quickest, easiest, and cheapest performance boost you can get for your computer is to boost the memory to 512 MB. That will cost you about $70.\n\nIf you upgrade, take the memory chip with you to buy another one of the same type, but bigger size.\n\nTo check how much memory you have in your computer, click on Start, then  open the Control Panel. Now click on  Performance & Maintenance, then click on System. That will open the System Properties window.\n\nIf the General tab is open, look toward the bottom, and it will tell you which processor (CPU) you are running, whether Intel or AMD and particularly note the "speed" of the processor (200 MHz, 500 MHz, 800 MHz, 1.5 GHz or whatever), then after that is the amount of RAM (Random Access Memory) installed on the motherboard. \n\n200 MHz = two hundred MegaHertz, measured in cycles per second. This is a really slow and old computer and not worth upgrading, and probably still running Win 98 or less. It would be too slow to install Win XP.\n\nIt usually takes a 500 MHz CPU or faster to run XP. \n\nI have a second computer that I've dedicated to the internet, that I'm typing on now, and it runs at 1 GHz with only 380 MB of memory, and does just fine. \n\nYou might want to buy just one 256 MB chip first, and install with what you are currently running, to see how it does. It may be all you need, and you can always add another 256 MB chip later.
