8 Easy (google adsense) Steps To Speeding Up Your Laptop
No commentsBy Simon Burdett
It seems that the longer you own your laptop, the slower it gets!
There are a lot of people, including me, who will keep using their existing notebook until it runs so slow, they just upgrade to a newer model, thinking that newness equates to better speed. This is not always the reason.
Some believe like the reason it is getting slower is because it is getting older, when this is clearly not the problem. There is no why your notebook shouldn’t be running just as fast as when you first switched it on! all you need do is apply these 8 simple steps, and your PC will be operating as it ought to be! - that is, not freezing up! laptop.
1. You ought to empty your Tempory Files on a regular basis, at least once a week to be safe. You need to empty this storage space, since it gets filled up with junk files your PC just doesn’t need to run, usually from startup. This will slow your notebook’s processing ability, or run-time, thereby slowing down the launching of your programs and applications. To clear your Temporary Internet Files, you go to your Control Panel and double-click the Internet Options icon. Then choose to Delete Cookies and Delete Files. This will empty all of your Temporary Internet Files.
2. To further speed things up, shut down any applications you aren’t using. Unused programs and/or applications that you leave running simply eat up your pc’s run-time, or processing speed, thereby slowing down everything else.
3. Scan your hard disk(s) for errors.In general, nearly all PC’S only have one hard disk, although you can buy another exterior hardrive for additional storage.
For a Windows 95 onwards, double-click My PC. Right-click your C-drive, and then click on Properties. Click on the Tools tab and choose to check your laptop for errors. For Windows 2000 and XP, double-click My PC. Right-click the C-drive and click Properties, then click on the Tools tab. If you choose to do a Comprehensive Scan, this will check your pc’s hardware for any physical disk damage or sector damage. You may then choose to fix any errors it finds. Click on Check Now. You will then have two check boxes. The top preference is for the file check, and the second choice is for the hardware (physical disk) check. Check either one, or both. At least check the top one. Hit OK, reboot your notebook, then let it run
4. If you can’t afford software to tune up your PC for you, they can be pricey, if you have Windows XP, you can streamline the performance yourself. By default, alas,EVERYTHING is turned on in Windows XP. It isnt very efficient for performance, but rather for appearance. That’s just Windows for you, like it or leave it. You can turn off a few of the redundant features, and Windows will still work just as well, and possibly even faster.
To do this, right-click on My computer and click on Properties. Click on the Advanced tab. Under the Performance section, click on the Settings button. On the Visual Effects tab, you will see a list of check boxes. By default, these are all on. You really dont need any of them for Windows to run. Go through the check boxes one by one, and determine which ones you can and couldn’t live without.
6. Use a high-quality AntiVirus product to prevent viruses from taking over your system, such Norton 360, which I use.
7. Prevent Spyware. Most notebook users have Spyware and dont even know it, and when they’re desktop alerts them to this fact, they have no idea how to get rid of it. If you’ve been taken to websites that you had no intention of going to or you get pop-ups when you arent even on the Internet, or if your computer has been running extremely slowly lately, for no basis, you probably have Spyware.
In some cases, when the Spyware has become too entangled into your system, at this point, all you can do is just backup your essentials, and do a total re-boot of your computer’s operating system. This is the final, desperate act, only to be done if you have (a) backed up everything first, and (b) think you have no other preference. It is a difficult thing to do, trust me on this, because you know you will only have to set up your desktop exactly the way you like it, and this takes time. Again, this is a last resort, so pursue all other avenues before doing this.
8. Last but not least, Defragment your hard drive(s). NOTE: Your PC needs to have at at minimum 25% of free space for the Defragmentation to execute. The defragmentation will still work with only 15% free space, but it can take quite a bit longer. If you can, delete any unnecessary files before deframenting your drives.
a. To defragment your hard drives (in any Windows operating system), double-click on My Notebook, then right-click on the C-drive and click on Properties. Click on the Tools tab and choose the bottom button, to Defragment Now
If you follow these steps, your PC must start to run a lot faster and more efficiently. It almost certainly won’t be running at the speed when it was new; that takes the purchasing of registry cleaning program for that, or an IT person to “clean it out” for you.
Happy ‘puting, everyone!
