Slow PC problems

Slow PC getting you frustrated

Why is it that we spend a lot of our hard earned cash on PC equipment, only to find you hammering on the desk in frustration when the PC grinds slowly when trying to do the simplest of things?

WHY DOES IT DO THAT? After all, PC's are supposed to be an electronic brain able to do the computation in the blink of an eye. Well sometimes I could have a good power nap and come back to the PC and watch a nice little egg timer AAARGH!!

Does this happen to you? Am I the computer dunce of the century?

I guess the answer would be ‘Of course not, it’s this stupid machine’ . Well this may be the case and several factors can cause any PC to play a slow hand, slow processor, a full hard drive, limited memory with too many applications running at the same time.

But also we have the Registry. What is that? That sounds like alien talk to non computer nerds and techies, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. Here’s a snippet of information to put you at ease:

‘For most of us the Registry is like the spark plugs in our cars: we know they are there, that they are very important and that they are not something to be played with. Just as a car with a faulty spark plug doesn't may make the car run slower, so a corrupted Registry can have the same affect and can even stop Windows from starting. But if you know what you're doing, the Registry can be a valuable ally in the cause of effective computing.’

Well that doesn’t seem so bad now does it? You now have some knowledge of what a Registry is, but as they say, a little knowledge is a dangerous thing and meddling with anything techical or computer oriented can cause more problems that you are trying to solve.
