While they have crash and freeze problems with even newer systems. Hopefully the tips I gave them can help you, too.</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>A registry cleaner program.</strong> This is <strong><em>the best tip I can possible give</em></strong> for how to improve computer speed. It has the added side benefit of preventing computer crashes caused by both slowdown and registry errors. A registry program like <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/product.php?name=regfix">this</a> scans the registry, the brains of your computer, and fixes existing as well as potential problems. Most crashes are caused by a registry problem. But regularly running a <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">quality registry cleaner</a> heads these problems off at the pass, and keeps your computer running great.</li>
<li><strong>Check your disk for errors.</strong> Have a look at your hard drive&#8217;s properties, and then choose the &#8220;Tools&#8221; tab. The top option is a disk error check. Run it now and then to make sure there are no disk errors that could be causing problems. If it finds an error it repairs it. This is any method on how to improve computer speed.</li>
<li><strong>Defragment.</strong> The option below the disk error check is the defragmenter tool. This organized the information on your disk better so that it&#8217;s more efficient in retrieving and storing information. This speeds the system up.</li>
<li><strong>Delete temporary files.</strong> Your computer keeps a cache of many Internet and other files. These accumulate and eat up space that your system could be using to run faster. On your hard disk properties box, can opt to use the disk clean up tool. This lets you delete temporary files and other things you might need to free up disk space.</li>
<li><strong>Reboot</strong>. Many of us, and I am a chief violator here, never turn our computers off. We restart them when they start acting funny. It&#8217;s a good idea to periodically restart your computer, and you&#8217;ll prevent these slow patches.</li>
<li><strong>Install a firewall or use the one built into </strong><a href="http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/bfe523a9-7eec-4d3f-add1-2f68b9cfa1c01033.mspx"><strong>Windows</strong></a><strong>.</strong> This blocks certain push technologies and other contacts that can grind your system to a halt.</li>
<li><strong>Use a good anti-virus program.</strong> Every virus doesn&#8217;t announce itself by erasing your hard drive. There are plenty of viruses that run in the background, doing damage quietly. These viruses, particularly Trojans that let another person get into your system remotely, can drag a system down and easily crash it. Using good <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_antivirus_software">anti-virus software</a> will keep this from happening.</li>
<li><strong>Get rid of spyware.</strong> One of the best methods that worked for me on how to improve computer speed was to run an anti-spyware program. I had no idea that spyware could affect a system so poorly, until it happened to me.</li>
<li><strong>Watch for programs that install along with the programs you want.</strong> Some will install spyware that changes your home page and your default search engine, while others install a toolbar that will slow down your browsing while it sends the owner company information about your surfing habits.

<p>Unfortunately, when a computer freezes randomly it&#8217;s not something that&#8217;s really out of the ordinary. If you use a computer regularly and don&#8217;t take specific steps to prevent freezing, then it&#8217;s bound to start locking up sooner or later. The computer&#8217;s very nature and design leads it down this road.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" style="float: left; border: 0px initial initial;" title="computer freezes" src="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/images/freeze.jpg" alt="" width="279" height="209" /></p>
<p>This is because of the computer&#8217;s registry. <strong>The registry is a very complex and often misunderstood component of Windows. It&#8217;s vital to your computer&#8217;s operation</strong>. Think of the registry as your computer&#8217;s brain. And everything you do on the computer, everything you install or remove, is stored in the brain. When you remove things, very often certain registry entries are left behind, like memories. But these memories are good for absolutely nothing.</p>
<p>The registry hangs on to them, though, and eventually it gets so full that it&#8217;s hard to find things that are important now. The registry is often a source or problems. The registry is probably the culprit if your computer freezes randomly.</p>
<p><strong>To fix this problem, you have 3 options:</strong></p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Format your hard drive:</strong> This gives your system a fresh start. It also erases everything but the operating system, so any programs you have installed, any files, will be erased when you format the disk. You need to back up everything, including the current registry, before attempting to reformat your computer. If something goes wrong, as long as you have a registry backup you can revert to that so your system will run while you figure out the problem. Formatting is probably not a step you want to take, even if your computer freezes, until the only other option is giving up and buying a new computer. Which brings us to option 2.</li>
<li><strong>Buy a new computer</strong>: If your computer freezes randomly and you don&#8217;t want to format the drive, then buy a new computer to use regularly and keep this old one that freezes, knowing that it&#8217;s probably only going to get worse.</li>
<li><strong>Use registry cleaning software to fix the problem:</strong> You want have to format or spring for a new system. It&#8217;s a good idea to back everything up just in case. And in fact, really <a title="registry software" href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net">good reg cleaning software</a> prompts you to do this before it works its magic anyway. This software costs about the same as other system tool programs, which is nothing compared to the cost of a new computer. And it&#8217;s not a one shot expense that you&#8217;ll never use again. Once you have the software, you should use it about once a week to scan and prevent future problems.</li>
</ol>
<p>If your computer freezes up, now&#8217;s the time to get the registry cleaning software, and you can probably avoid having to try the other two options.</p>
<p>I have recommended a few of those <a title="registry cleaning software" href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net">registry cleaning sofware</a> here. Have a look at my recommendation and stop your computer from freezing today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So you&#8217;ve asked yourself, &#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">Why is my computer running so slow</a>?&#8221; and realized that you have no idea what to do about it. Slowing down is a common problem with computers, even if they&#8217;re fairly new. Just using them regularly without doing regularl system maintenance will eventually slow down even the fastest computer.</p>
<blockquote>
<p align="center">
<strong>QUESTION:</strong> <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">Why is my computer running so slow</a>?<br />
<strong> SOLUTION:</strong> Check out the software I personally recommend <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">here</a></p></blockquote>
<p>A slow computer manifests itself in several ways. You might turn it on and wonder when it&#8217;s going to actually load. You might click an icon to open a program and feel your hair grow in the time it takes the program to actually be ready to use. A slowing computer can also make using the Internet a chore, no matter how fast your DSL connection might be. If the computer is at a crawl, it can only process what it finds online at that speed. Many slow surfing sessions are blamed on an ISP or the speed of the Internet, when it&#8217;s really the speed of the computer that&#8217;s at fault.</p>
<p>If you&#8217;re wondering, &#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">Why is my computer running so slow</a>?&#8221; it could be that you have a packed or error-riddled (or both) registry. There are programs I have <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">reviewed</a> that can scan your registry and determine where the problem lies. The Windows registry is like the brain of your computer. Even in a short session of use, your computer writes to the registry hundreds of times. This leaves open the possibility of tidbits of info that are used only one time being stored there, as well as common errors.</p>
<p>On this <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">page</a> you can find programs that will not only scan your registry now and fix errors, but will remove invalid entries that simply take up space and slow your system down. A common answer to &#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">Why is my computer running so slow</a>?&#8221; is that your hard drive is filling up, and one the chief offenders is the registry. So registry cleaning software is ideal for keeping your computer running at top efficiency.</p>
<p>Do you need software to fix your registry? Yes, in almost every case. First, if you knew enough about the registry to tinker with it yourself, you probably would have already done so, right? And playing around in the registry is kind of like doing brain surgery without having gone to medical school (or even taken a biology class). It&#8217;s very easy to make a mistake and completely crash your system.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s no need to spend weeks learning about the registry and how to fix it when there&#8217;s software designed to do that for you. And because the makers of the software I <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">reviewed</a> know how complex the registry is, the software will back up your registry on the odd chance that any changes it makes cause a problem. Then you can easily restore the old copy and get your computer running again.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net/">Why is my computer running so slow</a>?&#8221; need never be a question you ask again, because once you have the registry software you can scan your system regularly to keep the registry in good shape.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net">How to speed up my pc</a>&#8221; is something most people wonder at some point. Even the newest, fastest computer tends to slow down over time. This can happen from too many unused programs or files filling up the hard drive, from things that happen while you&#8217;re online, and from the general way that computers operatea and save information to disk. Fortunately, I have personally reviewed some programs you can use to get your computer running quickly again. There are some other simple steps you can take, too.
  </p>
<p align="center">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<br />
  <strong>I have the solution which is fast, easy and automatic. <br />
  You can speed up your computer in less than 20 minutes by learning how I did it here:<br />
  <a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net">How to speed up my PC </a></strong><br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
</p>
<p><strong>1.	Eliminate Spyware</strong>  <br />
Spyware involves programs that deposit information on your computer to track where you go and what you do on the Internet. It can dramatically slow down how fast your computer can surf the Internet and run at all, because it&#8217;s busy monitoring what you do. It also risks your personal information and violates your privacy, so there are many reasons to get rid of it. Download anti-spyware software or an anti-virus program that also protects against software. There are free and paid versions of these programs that can help next time you wonder, &#8220;<a href="http://www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net">How to speed up my pc</a>?&#8221;  </p>
<p><strong>2.	Clean the Registry</strong>  <br />
Your Windows registry is the data center of your computer, and by its very design it tends to get messed up sometimes. Errors aren&#8217;t uncommon, and they&#8217;ll slow your computer down considerably. You can fix some registry errors manually, but you&#8217;ll have to learn a great deal about the registry, which is extremely complicated, and in manually fixing programs you&#8217;ll run the risk of locking up your computer. Your computer accesses the registry constantly, so keeping it in top shape is the best way to speed up your pc. www.howtospeedupmycomputer.net reviews some programs that can clean your registry quickly and easily, and without you having to read technical computer manuals.  </p>
<p><strong>3.	Clear Disk Space</strong>  <br />
Unused programs eat up space. When you have less free disk space, your computer runs more slowly. A built-in tool on your computer called the Disk Cleanup Tool, under Accessories and System Tools, lets you remove unused programs easily as well as delete temporary files and other files that are wasting space. You can also go into your Control Panel, choose &#8216;uninstall programs&#8217; and remove the ones you don</p>
