Frustration increases as your laptop gets older and slower.

If your Registry is a mess you can end up with a very slow Windows 7

Your windows operating systems contains a very important file called windows Registry. It holds data about your computer. The location of all the software you have installed, the DLLs files, program short cuts that reside on your desktop and in the Windows start menu.

Almost every action in Windows is recorded by Windows Registry. E.g. the path to the latest documents, videos and images used, in addition there are information about the programs you have currently installed and the programs you have previously uninstalled.

Many things can cause a PC to become slow, and they can hit any PC.

You can make your computer fast again using professional tools.

A professional solution normally follows these steps:

• Analyzing the computer looking for known errors that usually makes a computer slow.
• Reparing the errors
• Finally you PC has become faster, it may even boot faster and it no longer contains registry errors.

Additional factors that can cause your Windows PC to be slower

Sometimes it is not your Windows Registry that you can blame for your slow computer.

Occasionally anti virus software is causing your computer to be slow because it is configured badly

The anti virus program can be configured to analize irrelevant files, this will cause the program to waste a lot of valuable CPU time.

Add to that your anti virus software may be set to scan both your local harddrives and all network drives.

Regular scans of your network drives takes a lot of your CPU time, the reason is that network drives are much slower than local harddrives

Beware that normally there is only a minor risk involved if you set your anti virus program to disable analysis of your network drives.
