My PC's really, really frustratingly slow. Please give me some suggestions. Which one do you use? |
||||||||

Try CCleaner. |

AML Free Registry cleaner, cleans up nicely! |

imo don't. it's only slow starting up right? otherwise, reinstall windows. you should only use it when you know what you're doing, and when you do, you should go through all the entries it want to remove |

Registry cleaners can do more harm than good. Careful what it deletes. |

No, it's not just slow starting up. When I use the media player it goes all jerky and stops for a second every now and again. Pretty intolerable when I'm trying to watch DVDs. I do agree with the point about knowing what one is doing with regisry cleaners, though. I read some stuff about it on another forum, but I was so eager to stop my computer being sluggish, I just did it anyway, out of haste. I will take more care int he future though, thanks. |

Tell me about it! I told it not to delete my internet history and it did anyway. 450MB of stuff was deleted in all. Quite worrying... And it still halts when it feels like it, every now and again. |

might as well be the dvd-player, they always go to crap with me you could try not reinstalling, but another install on a second disk you have, to test the dvd drive i think you've set off the inevitable demise of your windows, expect blue screens in the future (not trying to scare you) |

If its slow starting up try disabling all the programs on start up. I have only one program that starts on its own and its my virus scanner. |

how much free disk space do you have left? |

I won't worry- I have an external HDD, so if it fucks up i won't lose anything. I am going to install Linux soon, anyway. :) |

you're system slows down eventually and you have to reinstall windows because you install and remove all these programs. if that doesn't happen with your mac or linux, it's just because you don't install that much: there's not so much cracks etc. well and maybe it's a better os. point is, it's just natural you have to reinstall windows eventually |

if you have less than 4gigs of free space you might see your system start to slow down considerably depending on how your pagefile is setup. it is best to set it to a constant size so it doesn't fragment and windows doesn't take time to adjust the size. usually 2 GB is good. also turn off system restore and indexing will speed up windows. |

you can speed up your computer if you put your pagefile on a different (physical) drive from your operating system drive, also you can put it on both, and a third |

Pardon? |

, maybe it's hardly noticeable though. it will not solve other problems either. |

I'm with Olrox on this one. I used to use Diskeeper for all my defragging needs, until I let it defrag my registry, and then suddenly I had no operating system. If your registry or master file allocation table is 100% fragmented, basically you need to just save your important data and reformat. All of the knowledgeable people I've asked have said more or less the same thing. |
