Default Computer Too Slow?


Is your computer too slow? It may be a software issue. Most computer
users have been trained that if you want more speed for your computer,
then add more memory. Well, this is true, in certain circumstances.
But for most of the times, it really is just a bad file in your
registry files. Corrupted or missing registry files can make your
computer too slow.
First off, the Windows registry is basically a database of settings
and instructions for everything in your computer: hardware, software,
operating system, and even the preferences of the user of the
computer. If you have multiple users on a PC, and they each login
differently, then these types of preferences, or settings, are stored
in the registry.
Also, any time you make a change to any of your computers settings,
through the control panel, they are stored and updated in the
registry. So, how does the registry get messed up? Well, let's say you
install a new program, and it then changes one of the registry files
to work with the new program. The new program works like a champ, but
what about the other program. You don't know yet, because you have not
had to use it. But when the time comes to open the old program, and
the required registry file is not there, or is different, the computer
might just sit there. It has no idea what to do. These problems happen
every day to people, even to me. And, this type of problem causes a
slow computer....
