I assume that the problem of a slow computer is what that many people suffer from so I wrote this account of how I fixed mine to help. So to begin with lets take a look at what was actually going wrong with it. Well in the time I had owned my computer its performance had fallen of gradually but significantly. The computer now took a lot longer to boot up than it had done previously and program's were much slower to respond than before and frequently crashed with the message “program has stopped responding”.
I had of course thought about replacing the computer but this seemed to me like an expensive option epically as I was not trying to do anything which the computer had not been capable of in the past. So I began to search the Internet for a solution and I came across www.fix-this-computer.com a web site offering advice on getting the most out of your computer. I took a good look around the site and tried the virus checker and the spy ware checker. None of the sans found anything then I noticed the section on the windows registry. I read a few of the articles and the symptoms which were described matched perfectly to what I was experiencing so I concluded I must be suffering from windows registry errors. I visited the the link offering a free scan and was directed to a software site where I downloaded software that scanned my computer for registry errors. The scan took about twenty minutes and found a staggering 307 errors. I elected to purchase the software to fix these problems and upon purchasing a license was given a password to upgrade the software from the trial version. Once I had done this running the software was very simple and it began fixing the errors within a couple of clicks. It took around ten minutes to fix all the errors and since then the computer has been running like a dream.
