For people who really need to keep
there computer
running fast.
There are a few things you need to know. If you use your computer
a lot, then you need to have it, running up to speed. Here is what I do
to keep my computer running like new.
If
your cumputer is really working Bad, and crashing.
Start it in Safe
Mode. 1.
I run a Anti-VirusAntispyware
Softwareset
on full system scan. The free version works well.
2. I clean out all the cookies out of my browsers
3.
Go to the Start Menu-Run Type in
"appwiz.cpl" Uninstall
whatever you don't need.
4. Next, go
to Start Menu-Run again and type in "msconfig". Go to the
Startup Tab and uncheck everything you don't want to startup.
If you want, you can uncheck everything, and your anti-virus will still
restart itself when you log on.
5. I do a disk clean up on all my hard drives. This is how to do a disk
clean up. First go to your
Start-All Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Disk Cleanup on XP. Then I
normally put a check in every box unless it would delete some thing I
needed.
7. After that I Defrag all my hard drives. This
is how to do a Defrag. First go to your
Start-All Programs-Accessories-System Tools-Defrag on XP. Then do it
one more time on all your had drives and your computer should be
working
much faster.
8. Finally, make sure your Hard
Drive doesn't have any bad sectors. Go to
My Computer-Right Click Hard Drive-Properties-Tools Tab-Check Now-Check
both boxes and Start. It will ask you to reboot, so
reboot. This will clear out any bad sectors on your Hard Drive.
