Naperville Computer Repair Secrets: How To Cure Your Slow Computer Quickly
The first easy thing you should do is power off your computer every few days. By doing this, it will complete a fast cleanup on every powerdown. Next, if you begin to sense a slow down in your computer, I suggest defragmenting your computer. Its not as hard as it seems. To defragment a computer, go to:
Start menu >>>
All Programs >>>
Accessories >>>
System Tools >>>
Disk Defragmenter
Once your defragmenter window comes up, you will have to click the ‘Defragment’ button, and let it start defragmenting your PC! According to this computer repair Naperville company, this is 1 of the smartest ways to fix a slow computer. Once this step is finished, there are a few extra tips for you to attempt to quicken up a computer.
You may not have ample hard disk drive space. Verify that there is at minimum 200-500MB of free hard disk drive space. The available room makes it possible for a computer to have room for the swap file to increase in size and also room for temporary files. You could erase your temporary internet files by completing these steps:
1. Open up internet explorer
2. Click on ‘Tools’ and then go down to Internet Options
3. You will now see a Delete cookies & Delete files button.
4. Click on each one & delete them by selecting ‘OK’. Also type c:WindowsTemporary Internet Files into your address bar & remove anything that might be in this directory.
5. After that, go to ‘Run’ that can be found below the start menu, and type in ‘%temp%’. Delete everything that is in this folder as well. Lastly, delete your recycling bin by right clicking on it & moving down to Empty Recycling Bin. The computer repair Naperville technician says this will sped up your computer in a big way.
Next you need to scan for malware. Today, malware & spyware is a big piece of a lot of computer problems including a slow computer. Even if an anti-virus scanner is installed on your computer I suggest running a malware scan on your computer.
