Windows might be the most popular operating systems, but it's also the one that's prone to the most problems. The problem of a slow PC is something that even the most advanced systems cannot guard against, but is also an issue which can be fixed pretty easily if you know how...

The 'trick' to fixing the slow speed of your Windows PC is to fix the problems that cause your system to run slow. Not many people realize this, but Windows always runs as fast as possible - it's just that there are some hiccups along the way that often slow it down. Most Windows PCs run smoothly, but there's one problem which causes this system in particular to run slow - the 'registry'. This is a database which stores information and settings for your computer, and is best described as the "telephone directory" for your system.

The registry is basically a database inside Windows which stores information and settings for your PC. It keeps details like your login details, screen resolution and software options inside... making it a very important and frequently used part of your computer. However, the registry is also the biggest cause of Windows' slow speed, and it's all down to it becoming corrupted and damaged.

The registry is like the telephone directory for your PC, except each listing in the directory contains settings for your PC. The reason why the registry makes Windows run slowly is because of how the system is prone to mixing up the registry and making its listings corrupted. Every time you use your PC, it needs to read 100's of settings from the registry, and if any of them are hard to read, it makes your computer unable to process the files it needs, slowing it down. This problem makes your computer run increasingly slowly as your system takes longer and longer to process the settings it requires.

To fix this problem, the 'trick' is to use a registry cleaner to boost the speed of your system. Registry cleaners are software programs which scan through the registry database and remove any of the damaged or corrupted settings that are inside them. These tools basically work to put the registry back into the right order, allowing Windows to read all the listings it needs in the fastest time. If you can get a good registry cleaner, it can make your PC run like new, as new computers don't have any corrupted settings that slow them down. To use one of these tools, you must first download a registry cleaner from the Internet and then let it scan your PC. It will locate all the damaged listings on your system and then fix them for you, speeding up your system.
