How do I get my computer to go a little faster?

My computer is a lap top Inspiron. It is about a year or so old. I cleaned old programs out, cookies, internet files and junk off. But it is still slow when I try to boot it up or start a program.

How do I get my computer to go a little faster?
The greatest performance boost you can give a PC or laptop is to purchase more RAM. Remember, when dealing with memory more is better.





The second best performance boost you can give a PC or


laptop is to "wash your Windows". Once a month do the following:





Defragment your HDD.


Clean up and delete your temp files.


Scan your HDD for errors.


Scan your PC for adware/spyware.





Once a week scan your PC for viruses especially if you download a lot of stuff.





Remove all applications that don't need to startup with Windoze through "MSCONFIG". Do the following:





Click on Start -%26gt; Run.





Type msconfig





The "System Configuration Utility" will show up.





Click on the "startup" tab.





Remove anything there that is not needed to startup. Things such as MS Office, iTunes or whatever is not necessary for Windows or your security. If in doubt, there are websites devoted to these things.





When done, click on "OK" and it will ask you to reboot. Please do so. When Windoze then starts up again it will say that you've done the system configuration utility. Put a checkmark in the box saying "I don't want to see this message every time I start" and click on "OK" to save your changes.





Once you've cleaned out all the cruft, Windoze should start faster than it did.





There is also the step of last resort which is a little extreme and time consuming but it will definitely help. Save what you want to keep in secondary storage then reformat your laptop. You'll get a fresh version of Windoze and it will run faster.

See how much space you have left on your hard drive.


Maybe you have to much on your hard drive.


You could also need more RAM.


How many programs do you have installed also. Some programs are memory hogs, I know Vista is.
