If you want to speed up the performance on your PC you need to know the minute you start to use it will start to slow. This is because of the way programs are installed and how they run and you can fix this in minutes.

Slow performance on your windows XP PC is caused by a corrupt registry. The registry is where all the settings and the location of files and folders are stored for your computer. Once errors occur in it windows begins to report errors, runs slowly and locks up on you.

Speeding up Windows XP performance on windows is not a really hard job. You may not know much about computers but you do not need to if you follow these instructions.

#1. Remove any programs you do not use. This can be done from the windows control panel using add and remove programs. Once you have done this remove any files, documents games and images you do not need. This will free up disk space and release memory that is being hogged by these programs.

#2. Run a check on the hard disk drive. You can do this by going to the windows start menu. Then going to where it says run and type in chkdsk /f. This will then tell you that you need to restart the computer to run this. Once it restarts it will check windows for any errors and fix them automatically.

#3. Once you have run the first two steps the next step is to clear out the registry and speed up your computer.

Run a free registry scan. This will detect any errors in the registry and the first time you run it there can be a hundred or more. These are what cause poor windows XP performance and make your computer behave strangely and report strange errors and stop working. These errors can be fixed automatically in minutes with no technical knowledge at all.
