Frustration increases as your laptop gets older and slower.

If your Windows Registry contains a lot of outdated entries, you’ll end up with a very slow XP

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.

Several reasons can be mentioned as to why your PC suddenly get slow.

It just means that your computer needs professional help!

A professional tool usually works like this:

• The tool scans you PC and detects the errors on you Windows operating system (e.g. Windows XP, Vista and 7).
• Fixing the errors
• Finally you PC has become faster, it may even boot faster and it no longer contains registry errors.

More thinks that can make your computer slow

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

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

Your anti virus might be set up to scan harmless files, thus it is using valuable CPU time for no reason.

Additionally anti virus programs are often set to analyza local harddrives as well as network drives.

Scanning network drives is usually very CPU consuming because a network is much slower than a local local hard drive.

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