The frustration of a slow computer

Posted on 17 April, 2009 | No Comments

Like many other people, I have at times become very frustrated with my computer. Until latley though the issue was becoming ridiculous. The computer was running so slowly it was painful and it was crashing all the time. In fact if I were to compare my computer to how it was when I first got it, I would say it was 80% slower. In fact the computer had become so slow that it made me think of my of my old ZX spectrum in that I used to turn it on and go off and do something else while it loaded up.

 

Anyway having endured the problems with the computer for several months I finally snapped and decided that I was either going to fix the computer or buy a new one. With computer being expensive items I decided to pay serious attention to the concept of fixing the computer. I began like most people would be checking the Internet. Having searched the net and read lots of articles I put together a list of possible soultions. The first and clearly most obvious solution to the problem was to “De-Frag” the computer's hard drive. I did this but it had little effect. The second potential solution to the problem was to remove unwanted spy ware and viruses from the computer. I used a program called AVG which did make the computer run faster. My computer was still not up to the standard it once was though so I decided to proceed to next and final possible solution which was to scan my computer for windows registry errors. Having run a free registry check, the registry checker I used identified around about one hundred and twenty errors. It cost me thirty dollars for the software to fix the errors but it worked quickly and made a significant difference to the speed of my computer. I suppose the lesson is that if you are happy to put time into fixing your computer you can save yourslef a lot of cash.
