One of the most common slow computer problems is that some machines take forever to start up. I know people who start up their computer and than walk away and make some coffee.

Are you wondering, “Why is my computer slow? How can I fix my computer?” I’m going to help you figure out how to speed up your computer and solve those slow computer problems once and for all.

Computers are wonderful devices that allow us to do many things but things can get rough once the garbage that comes in through our internet connection begins to stop up our system. I have put together a step-by-step PC maintenance procedure for cleaning all of this out.

Follow the steps below and you will see a noticeable improvement in your PC performance. If you’re looking to really speed up your PC — like make your computer twice as fast — check out Computer Secrets Unleashed. Remember if you run Windows XP, keep the registry clean. Enjoy!

  1. Download Microsoft’s Anti-Spyware program, Adaware, and Spybot Search and Destroy. Microsoft’s program can be downloaded at Microsoft Windows Defender. Adaware can be downloaded at Lavasoft Downloads. Spybot can be downloaded at The Home of Spybot-S&D. All of these programs are free.
  2. Install Microsoft’s anti-spyware program now, but not the other two.
  3. Run MSconfig. To do this, select Start>Run and type msconfig into the space. Select the Startup tab and get rid of all unnecessary programs. The way to determine this is to go to ProcessLibrary.com and check it against their database.
  4. Boot into Safe Mode. To do this, restart the computer and press F8 continuously. Select the Safe Mode option from the list and continue to desktop.
