5 Ways to Speed Up Computer Applications
Author: Jason Z Bell


All computer users encounter slow performance or a sudden
computer breakdown at one time or another. Quite often, registry
problems are behind this gradual deterioration in your
computer's performance.

When you install or uninstall applications, your system is
infected by a virus, the system crashes, or many such activities
occur on your system, several unwanted, invalid, and malicious
entries get added to the registry that unnecessarily cause it to
grow to a very large size. A large registry slows down, and as a
result slows down your computer. In more severe conditions,
registry problems may also cause various computer-related
errors, which can eventually crash your system.

This can be completely avoided if you perform certain actions
on regular basis to speed up the performance of your computer.

1) Perform Regular Virus Checks

If you are a regular net surfer, and don't care to
systematically scan your system for viruses or malware, you are
actually inviting trouble. Do you know that you can
unintentionally download viruses and malware in your system just
by visiting a website? The chances of infecting your system rise
if you continue downloading software programs, music, and video
clips on your system. Therefore, you must scan your PC for virus
infections by using effective anti-virus software.

2) Use Your System Tools

Before you invest too heavily on various types of Windows
repair software, you should use the System Tools, which are
offered for free with your operating system. For example, you
can use the Windows Disk Defragmenter tool to reorganize your
files and check the hard drive for errors. The Disk Cleanup
tool, on the other hand, helps you remove unnecessary files from
your system.

3) Think Twice About Free Downloads

Though you may find it an attractive option to download 'free
stuff' from the Internet, but there exist many websites that
actually install spyware onto your computer and trace every
activity on your computer and display unwanted popup ads. Many
other programs secretly add programs to your browser or
registry, which can affect system performance and crash your PC
sooner or later. So, practice cautions before you click the
'Free Download' button next time.

4) Troubleshooting Errors When They Appear

Do you know that more than 90 percent of computers contain
corrupt and significantly harmful files with more than 200
errors? If you ever witness an error message on your screen, you
should immediately take action to resolve it. This is because it
may gradually start affecting the performance of your system and
causing you to reboot, among other things. For example, if you
notice a Regsvr32.exe error on your system, you should log on to
the Microsoft technical support page and enter the name of the
error. This would display a step-by-step process, which you can
follow to resolve your problem.

5) Using Computer Repair Software

Using effective computer repair software is probably one of the
most simple and non-technical methods to tackle the slow
performance of your computer. You can opt for an advanced
registry scanner or scan your system's registry. This would also
allow you to deal with multiple errors at the same time while
enhancing the speed of your PC.
