Tips for Extremely Slow Computer

Sometime you log into your computer and notice that your window desktop runs very slow. Here are some good tips to improve your computer and also for your Internet use.
1. Check on your Device Manage. Where can I find that in my computer?
Click on the Start Menu at the Bottom Left----> Click on your computer---> in there you will see your hard drive and disk drive below that you should not have anything else---> you right click, go the bottom of your menu on properties---->  It should pop out your system information on another tab---> In that tab you should see your Device Manager and click on it.
There should be a list of hardware that suppose to be install in your computer. If you see a yellow question mark which mean your hard drive are not install or are install incorrectly. Therefore you will have to find the hardware driver for that driver because probably  your program run without that driver which cause your computer system running slow or sometime corrupt your application and program  run. Every hardware you got in Device Manager you should have every device for it from where you buy it, I mean it comes with the computer you bought.
2. Check Up On Your Start-Up Menu. What is Start up menu?
Start up menu is where every program or application you install in your computer. In those application it ask you if you want to start your program in start up. It mean when you log on to your computer or automatic log, your application will automatic start. In this case these maybe your computer to run slow. Why? As you are getting more program to your computer and you don't know about the start up. Your computer run too many of program with boot up to your start up window to your desktop. How can I disable it?
Click on the Start Menu at the Bottom Left----> in the search box type cmd---->it should open a black box where you can type-----> Type in msconfig and hit enter------> It should open a tab of General, Boot, Services, Startup, and Tools. In this case you ignore all the tabs except Startup, so go ahead and click on it------> It that tab you should see all your program listed----> uncheck all the program that you don't want them you run in your startup, even if there are program that you don't know about them just uncheck it, don't worry it is safe. Tips you don't need all of your program to run at your startup because you can always find them in your desktop or your computer program and open it. These are the only one that slow your computer when you log into your desktop window. After you click ok you will be prompt restart your computer or later. Restart it and you will feel the different. : )
3. Mark sure that you always clean out your Internet trash, I mean your Temp file and cookies. Sometime it is not safe because you leave your information out in those file. So, delete it why? Because it help you keep your info to yourself than in some file that are not trustable. Furthermore, it also help deleting file that might have spywares, and virus. How those get in there? Okay when you go into your Internet. You type in a website that you think is not a safe website. In that website your Internet will automatically download the pictures, files and text words, but you don't know. In those file it might contain spywares, keylogger and etc. It might cause your internet lag or slow your internet. In my recommendation is that you delete it. How? I use a free program call CCleaner http://www.piriform.com/ . It is free and spyware free. One more thing for those CCleaner user make sure you use Registry clean up too because it help clean file that are corrupted and file that are uninstall in your system and improve your file to run smooth so those file don't have to interrupt your other files.
