so now or perhaps it's the time take bold decision . Typically no amount of software solution or hardware upgrade will be able to help you to make your computer faster , in such case you may want to consider one of these three options .
Reinstall your operating system . If you are experiencing a very slow computer , maybe after many years of using your operating system you may have had a virus infection , spyware infection , corrupted registry and maybe even a bad disk sector . The best solution is to start afresh with a new Windows XP/Vista or Windows 7 operating system . By installing a fresh operating system your system will feel like brand new and all your slow computer problems will disappear . You can use a restore CD/DVD that came with your computer or buy a new operating system CD/DVD from Amazon .com . Once a new operating system is installed you should make sure you maintain your computer's performance by performing regular maintenance routine i have discussed .
Another thing you should do to eliminate slow computer problems is to switch from bloated windows application to their portable options . Portable applications are better because they do not write any settings inside your Widows registry and they do not install any background items or start unnecessary services in your computer . You can get many portable options for almost all popular Windows programs .
Lastly if none of the above methods eliminate your slow computer problems then I think it's time to buy a brand new computer . If your computer is 7+ years old , you will not be able to upgrade to use latest components so a brand new computer is the ideal solution.
