A Fix For Your Laptop Running Slow

by Michael Baker

Is your laptop running slow? Remember sometime around this time last year, or maybe the year before that (if it was before then we’ll just pretend) when your new computer worked perfectly? It only took seconds for your computer to boot up. Now you can take a shower, have breakfast and wash the dishes in the time it takes the start menu to show up. Why is your laptop running slow?

Every computer should have a maintenance program just like you would for your brand new car. If you take the time to do some preventative measures, with anything for that matter, it will last much longer and look much better.

Worst case scenario, and this is probably what you have been told by your friends, is to just reformat the entire computer. This would involve completely erasing what is currently on the hard drive and re-installing Windows. Personally, I don’t like this option.

You could go into the windows registry and fix the registry problems that are probably slowing down your computer. The thing of it is; do you know where the windows registry is and what to fix when you get there?

The windows registry is a central component to the windows system and it holds all of the windows applications, sort of like a large database. And because it is like the backbone of the whole system if you manually change something that you were not supposed to change. Woops! There goes the system, and all your files, and all your music, and all your photos. Oh, oh, now what!

There are programs that help you clean the windows registry on your laptop. These are called windows registry cleaners, and can be found and downloaded to your computer.

Using one of these windows registry cleaners will tune up the windows registry and make your laptop run faster and more efficiently, just as a tune up does the same for your car.

The benefit of a windows registry tune-up is that you can do it yourself, because most registry cleaning utilities are easy to use. All you need to do is, install it, run the program and let it find and list the errors for you. Before letting the program fix the errors, choose the create a back up option, just in case something should go wrong, and then click fix registry and you are done. The program does the rest for you and you wont have to suffer from your laptop running slow again.
