FREE INSPECTION FOR SLOW PC!!!! Contact us Now (Only Uitenhage Residing)
The truth is everyone’s computer is running slower these days.

Windows XP has grown to be a huge program, and most Antispyware and Antivirus software programs have turned into massive memory pigs too. If your computer is old enough to be running a factory installed copy of Windows XP, it certainly has slowed down over the last year or two. My office copy of Windows XP is using 500MB of RAM just sitting here typing a Word document.

Windows Vista and 7 was designed to obsolete most of the hardware that was available when it was released, and it uses about 700MB of RAM just sitting idle. The typical new PC from HP, Compaq and the others will come with 1GB or 2GB of RAM, so your computer is all but out of memory by the time you get it booted up and your AntiVirus software has loaded up.

That is why I feel the question is misleading. If you have been using a computer for the last two years, even if you bought a new one recently, you have probably noticed the machine slowing down. It does not mean it is broken. Certainly it does not mean you should pay for some online software that claims it can remotely fix your computer. I’ve seen these offers made on by independent websites. Please, if you have ever valued anything I have ever written, do not trust some remote software package with your data!

There are a lot of things you can do to speed your system back up on your own, regardless of the operating system you are running.

The first thing to do is to determine if indeed there is something wrong. Just how much has it slowed down? If the system is so slow it has become unusable or it takes an absurd amount of time just to open a program, you should probably bring it in and have us check it. But if it just seems to drag, or you have times that it suddenly slows down to a stop you may be able to help yourself. Have you checked your Antispyware/Antivirus software to see when it expires or when it was last updated? If you find it is expired or out of date, bring it in for a scan.

If you can see the red light (hard drive indicator) flashing furiously on the front of the computer, or maybe you can hear the hard drive grinding away like an animal gnawing on something, you may just have a program that is taking up too many resources. Or you may just need to upgrade your memory (RAM). If the system is older, the hard drive might be getting full.
