1. Many of the applications installed
If you want to install some software on your computer firstly that you should be considered is that software must be an important and necessary for you, do not install too much software that is not used. Because this will take space on the computer so the computer will eventually interfere with the work itself. If the unnecessary software already installed, you can delete them with uninstall the application from the Control Panel.
2. A lot of useless files
Perhaps this is often forgotten by many people, may people not aware of garbage files that should be discarded. The definition of junk files are: file in the Recycle Bin, cookies, history of IE, *.bak files, temporary files, etc.
When we delete files that are not used, actually the file is not automatically deleted from your hard drive, the file is actually still stored in the Recycle Bin folder, we still can retrieve the file, if we need it. You must delete the files in the Recycle Bin because of all the files are still taking the hard drive space. Make sure you have selected the files that are already not used, because when we have empty of all files in the Recycle Bin, the files will be deleted permanently and can not be recovered.
Cookies are also junk files that must be cleaned. These files will always appear when you connecting to the internet network. You can delete cookies in Internet Options on each browser (IE, Mozilla, Netscape, etc). In addition to cookies, history also affect to your computer systems. Store more history make your computer required more memory. History files will automatically appear when connecting to the internet network. Clean the history file on the Tools menu > Internet Options on each browser used.
3. Many applications that are unreadable when Start Up
If we try to install some software usually we see the application often provide choices, namely: that the application icon was added to the desktop or Quick Launch on the Taskbar. We recommend that you do not need put icon program in the taskbar because it can be make your operating system will run slowly when you Start Up system oprating. It will take a long time to activate these programs. Indeed on the face will be easier to run these programs because living clicking on its icon in the taskbar, but actually become a burden because the computer system must provide its own memory. It will slow down computer performance. Arrange a few applications that really needed a way to change. Run from the Start menu and then select Run, type msconfig. Turn off unnecessary applications when Start Up.
4. Management System for Irregular
Computers that are often we used also need a refresher, one of way to doing this is Scandisk and Defragment on a regular basis at least once a month. Ideally once a week, depending on the frequency of computer you use. Although something trivial, but often forgotten by many people. Run Scandisk on a regular basis to fix hard drive crashes are often caused by a sudden power failure or hang.
5. Select Performance or Appearance
For Windows XP users is recommended to user to doing this so to make your computer work faster. Indeed the appearance of Windows XP is very nice, the icons are displayed with colorful glossy effect. Please note, a nice windows interface requires no small amount of memory. So do not be surprised if that make more and more slow computer performance.
Windows XP provides two options “Adjust for Best Appearance” and “Adjust for Best”. If you choose “Adjust for Best Appearance” then the system will run with more priority to performance so that performance is more computer memory. This is an effect on computer performance. Whereas if you select “Adjust for Best Performance” system will run with more priority than the appearance of computer performance so that the view of Windows XP will appear as usual, without shadow effects or shiny as the previous version of windows.
6. Shutdown process does not match procedure
when we use the computer runs very slowly, then abruptly hangs, usually we are often directly do press the power button to restart computer because of all the keyboard keys can not respond.
Did you know when we often turn off the computer with this way, it can cause the operating system does not run normally and the hard drive was damaged (bad sectors). This will exacerbate the situation because the files exist in the system, can also can not be read again. So remember shutdown your computer with correctly.
