Frustrated With Your Slow Computer? Here's One Way To Make It Faster Without Registry Cleaners

By Brandon Nelson

Have you ever actually thought about what is slowing down your computer? Well I'll let you in on a little secret - it has to do with your operating system and how it runs. As much as your computers operating system tires to be faster it really just doesn't get the job done. What happens is that your comptuer will start to slow down within time. Why? Well, one of the biggest things is that after using your computer for a few months junk start to build up on it.

By junk I mean useless files that simply just don't get deleted. One of the best ways to make your computer faster is to simply remove some of this junk and then your computer will run faster again. The more junk that you have on your computer, the slower it will perform. So what's the best way to remove this junk? Simple regular maintenance.

So where do you start? One of the best places to start is with your hard drive. Your hard drive stores all of your files and if it fails, then you loose all of your files. This is why keeping your hard drive in a healthy state is critical. To do this we are going to use a programs that comes build into Windows.

Click Start, open My Computer (if your using Vista just click on Computer), right click on the C: and select Properties. In the Properties window, select the Tools tab and then click on the Check Now button. In the Check Disk window, select "Automatically Fix File System Errors" and also select "Scan For And Attempt To Recover For Bad Sectors". Click start and if it says that you need to perform a restart, just restart your computer and when you come back it will launch the program.

By running this program on your slow computer what you are doing is letting your computer check the hard drive for any problems or any potential problems that might occur. Then what the program does is it tries to fix these problems so that they will not develop into larger problems. These types of problems tend to occur as a result from when your computer freezes or when you do something like turn off your computer suddenly. - 2361
