How to boost your PC speed

The PC speed and performance depends on many factors on every PC such as hardware configurations, number of software programs, computer might be affected by a computer virus/ spyware and many other malware programs. If any of such factor is not favorable or affecting the efficiency and functionality of the system you might experience the speed and performance related issues very often.

Now it is important to know that how to speed up the PC? For speed up your PC speed and performance there are many ways or methods and you also might have used or seen various software programs online or in your acquaintance’s computers. But not all of them really are worth to use and reply upon to speed up your PC speed, rather just handful of the all applications are capable to improve the performance of your computer.

This is interesting to know that any software utility program can only repair or fix limited number of issues and it cannot fix all the issues that affect the PC speed and performance. For an example if you have installed just 1 GB of RAM and your are running Windows 7 Enterprise edition with it you can experience the performance related or slow computer problem often. This issue cannot be resolved unless and until you increase the RAM capacity. There are many similar examples of this sort of problems. And this is the reason we usually hear about the customers complaints regarding any software application and especially the security and registry cleaner tools.

Many times I have personally seen if someone is using 512 MB of random access memory and using Windows vista with lots of other huge applications and then he buys a system utility to speed up PC speed but it proves to be worthless so he thinks this is the software’s issue while the actual problem lies in the system hardware part. Thus beware of any such situation and make sure you have installed the sufficient hardware components.

Some of the most significant aspects or factors that usually affect your computers efficiency and performance are as follows:

• Incompatible and insufficient hardware
• Low memory or RAM
• Computer is affected by virus/ spyware/ malware and various other malicious programs
• Bad, incompatible and corrupt device drivers
• Corrupt OS files
• Hard disk is full and there is no room left in the hard drive
• Too many software are installed in the system.
• Corrupt/bloated Windows registry
• Great number of graphical and Windows Visual effects
• Old and outdated security software are installed in the PC.
• Heat related issues

These are the important causes that usually can affect a system’s efficiency, performance and functionality; however there might be some other reasons such as if a particular process or task is taking too much CPU usage it can affect the speed of the PC. Nevertheless such factors are less frequent and generally do not affect the system.

Thus if you want to boost your PC speed you must ensure that your system is not affected by any of such aforementioned point or factor.

How to make xp startup faster

There are various possible ways to improve or increase windows XP startup rate. Few of them are easy to perform whilst some are little lengthy or contain some risks within them. Making a registry changes is one of such examples. However few of them are very positive and most feasible to perform and they give us the direct and clearly visible outcome out of these steps we perform. Here before applying any method to increase windows startup rate we need to consider what all makes a slow start up in any windows system? I would like to mention that what all needs to start a windows operating system so that it would be easier to resolve the problem. It is not good to try many things before knowing about the actual functionality of it. I have seen people are using too many speedupmypc tools to fix their Pc related or slow startup issue.

Normally whenever a windows starts it needs few basic and important entries and mainly only 3 main files to load the operating system. They are Boot.ini, NTLDR, and Ntdetect.com. These 3 files are necessary essential on prima facie basis. So in this case if essential files are loaded into computer’s memory it will work, i.e. it will be started smoothly for sure. Now you may just check the startup list of any PC and you will find many such programs that are not essential at all for booting a system. Once you know the futility of these programs for starting windows you may just uncheck them from loading when a window starts. It is very easy to do. Go to Start-> Run and type msconfig-> click on Startup Tab-> Click on disable all or u can pick the applications u don’t want on startup-> (You can also disable all, it works best 'coz its windows XP).

Another thing what you can do is- to change or reduce windows Timeout time which is 30 sec by default. This can be done from the same msconfig windows i.e. Go to Start-> Run and type msconfig-> click on boot tab and alter the Timeout value from 30 till 5 sec.

I have another way to increase windows XP startup rate. Without using any or many speedupmypc programs. It is from the windows registry. Though this involves some risk in it however if you are well versed with registry you may try it. I have tried many times and so far did not find any sort of problem with any system.

I am writing the steps to go to the registry editor and change the appropriate value.

Click on start and select run ->Type in there regedit, press enter or OK.

Go to: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/SystemFileAssociations/.avi/shellex/PropertyHandler

Select the value in the right frame and hit

If the system asks for you if you're ok with deleting the value, confirm with yes

And come out of the registry editor.

Note- It is strongly suggested that please do take a backup before making any correction or change to your windows registry. This all can be done without any help from a speedupmypc software.
