Slow computer problem in Vista
I had purchased a Core 2 Duo based computer. Man it was fast. Turn it on and and the windows screen will come quick. The internet was fast. Then slowly and gradually it will slow down over the time. It was the same machine. Same operating system. Why did it slow down ? This is not my question and your question. This is everyone’s question. Everyone faces this problem. The computer goes so slow that you feel like throwing it away.
Let me try to explain what causes it.
When the computer is new, it is fresh. There is no much software in it. Even antivirus software is not installed in it. Then you install some softwares. Then you install antivirus which slows it down a little bit. After using the computer for a while you install new programs. Some of those programs and games are set to load when Windows boots up and takes up valuable memory and system time by running in the background.
You also get viruses and spyware from surfing the net, checking e-mail, and downloading stuff. Over time those viruses will make Windows that could cause it to slow and not perform at its best. Spyware will take up memory and system time. This is the cause of most people’s computers loosing speed.
Also your file may get disfragmented over the time. The disgfragmented files makes the hard disk slow over the time.
I will also discuss how to fix these issues yourself.
done well
