u sure can make your computer faster 1 way is to add more memory and delet all the cookies and temp files evey outher day .. and get a spy bot to remove any spy ware u may have yahoo has a good spay bot just down load the yahoo too bar on yahoos home page asso ifu have cable modem rest the modem evey 30 days and the modem will refresh and give u a faster speed its called a power boost and it works for me also about the speed it depends on how hold your computer is hope and slso take of the junk u dont need like games or saved pics if u dont weant to loose the pic u have just save them to a disk pics and games have a lot to do with the speed of computer in outhers words the more u have on the computer the slower it will go also u can go to msconfig on your computer and where it says start up or seltive start up un check the things u dont need to start up no worries the programs will still work they just wont start when u reboot your computer j hope this helps and god bless

select start and click on control panel and double click on add remove and a new window will appear and any program you dont use click remove. this should help your ram not have to boot up programs you dont use. or you can spend a bit of money and buy some ram and/or processor.

stating the processor speed would have been nice, but as a rule I always recommend memory over processor. 256mb of memory is the minimum taht you should use with WIN XP. The more (up to 1gig) the better. If you machine can take it, put in at least another 256. You will see a remarkable difference

Yes.... You can decrease the number of programs starting at startup ( whose icons appear on the taskbar beside the watch ) Start-> Run -> Type "msconfig" -> "Startup" tab-> UNcheck the boxes beside the programs you don't want to run at the startup... -> Click "Ok" -> Restart... When you restart.. a message box will appear to you... Check the box... and click Ok...

The small icons on the system tray (the bottom right) have programs that are resident in memory. Right-click them and click close on any program you don't want. Also, you can defragment your hard-drive and get rid of any programs that are in your startup folder (start-programs-startup).

You could try defragmenting the hard drive. I'm not sure what OS you're running, but try right clicking on your Local Disk and going into properties, then Tools and defragmenting. It may help. Other than that, I'd say go to a store and buy another memory stick. They're not that expensive.

Defragment your computer. But, that will only do so much. Memory is by far the best investment for your computer. :o)
