I've found a great program that can clean your registry your browser history and all sort s of other things that really speeds up your computer. The program is called CCleaner and is a very dependable program. This site trusted and is guaranteed to be spyware free. http://www.ccleaner.com/ Try it and you will most likely notice a difference in speed.

WHEN TRYING TO MAKE A COMPUTER TO RUN FASTER, AREN'T YOU GOING TO CHANGE THE EXISTING MANUFACTURER SETTINGS? IF YES, WONT THIS GOING TO CAUSE PROBLEM TO MY PC?

EDITOR'S NOTE: I'm guessing you are concerned about the warranty. If so, I don't think any vendor is concerned about software changes.

You Rock Man..Keep me posted by sending emails with u r updates

I am using Windows XP OS. I found that some of my files in Windows and system32 folder were in blue colour . Is this is a virus? I scanned my PC usinf Free AVG software.

EDITOR'S NOTE: No, the blue files are just compressed. You may see green files as well, they are encrypted.

The simplest and best way to speed up your computer is to format it and install Ubuntu 8.04 linux and have no need for all the antivirus spyware garbage and no registery. It runs circles around Vista.. Ed

it really worked! kep it on advicing bob!

I am using a new PC with Core 2 duo and 2 GB RAM but still I an get error low on virtual memeory I followed the steps U told about virtual memory but still the error persist. what should I do?

EDITOR'S NOTE: Something is chewing up your system memory. I suggest you start the Task Manager (press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once) and then click on the Processes tab. Now click on the Mem Usage column header and it will sort the processes by the amount of memory used. Let me know what you see as the top memory gobblers.

My older computer (Windows XP) no longer allows me to get into the "internet options" under "tools" on Internet Explorer. It gives me a message indicating I have to check with the Systems Administrator". I used to be able to make changes there, but something happened to prohibit me from getting in. Can you provide any assistance? Thanks, Denise
