speed up your computer

This tutorial works for vista and xp.

As your computer gets older it gets sower and you want to make it faster and im going to tell you how.

Lets start:)

First open my computer and right click your main hard drive (usually c:) and click properties and you will see a pie chart. Right next to it there's a button that says disk cleanup. Click it. If your on vista click files from all users. If using vista then click continue. It will then start to calculate which may take some time. Once done select every check box and then click ok. Then delete. This may also take some time. Once your done go back to the hard drive properties and go to the tools tab. Then click defragment now and if your in vista click continue. Then click defragment now. This mat take some time. Once your done, depending on how slow your computer was in the first place it should be a lot faster.

The next steps will affect how your computer looks so if you don't want to change how your computer looks skip these.

If you are using vista right click your desktop and click personalize then theme.
If xp right click desktop click properties and go to the theme tab.

Once your there open the drop down box and change the theme to windows classic, or classic theme. And click ok.

Your computer will now look very different! If you don't like it you can put it back but this makes your computer a lot faster!

Next go to control panel. Then click system. Then go to advanced settings. and then click performance settings. Then click adjust for best performance and click ok.

Also it is very important to have a virus protection software! Because viruses slow down your computer the most! I would suggest free avg if you are looking for a free one because it doesn't slow down your computer as much as some others when you are running a scan.

Thats it! Your computer should be much faster now especially if you are using vista!
Now, if you have a very old computer and its still slow and and it has too many viruses you may want to consider get a whole new operating system.

If you install linux ubuntu on your computer it will make it very fast.
