  • Answer:

    1, delete temporary internet files 2. defragment hard drive 3. do scans for spyware and viruses to delete 4. go do add and remove software programs and check to see if you need the programs if not delete them 5. Check to see if you have unecessary items in your start up menu that start up like realaudio update or google task bar or other add on things. 6. check the inside of your computer if it has dust bunnies clean it! you can vaccum it or use that spray air in a can.

Yes do upgrade your memory to at least 256MB of RAM, and add a second hard drive. Re-install your operating system (after backing up your data). Also, take this opportunity to install a second operating system on your computer. Get UBUNTU, it's free, reliable and up to date.

Hi ... Please do steps below:- 1. Use the Disk Defragmenter each week. 2. Use the Disk Management each week. 3. Delete all the temporary files. 4. Delete all the cookies. 5. Use only one Anti Virus program. Thank you.

Upgrading/increasing the RAM will only alow you to open up applications program simultaneously but will not make it faster. It is the processor that makes it faster. Upgrading your old one will cost you almost buying new one. Change your computer with a new one with higher specs.

Do the disk Defragment, disk clean up and delete all you temporary internet files and cookies. Then clean your registry. I use Eusing Free Registry cleaner. just download it.

Adding more RAM should help. Make sure you have atleast 256 MB RAM. The more the better.
