If you have a slow computer this article might interest you. I have been helping my neighbor working on cleaning up his computer . The first thing I noticed was that there were three different versions of software to speed up internet connection or optimize a PC . A great deal of programs when installed have an option to load at start up and you really only want them to load when you are using them.

Hp Printer Options and Picture Software
Adobe Acrobat
MSN Messenger
Weather Bug
Internet games
Cd Writers
Tool bars
Just be aware of what is loading.

When I finished with my neighbors PC he had none and he is pleased as punch with the computers improvement . The next step I go through is removing unused and unwanted software . It is unbelievable how much advertising type software comes loaded on a PC you buy in the stores. This so far is really the basics and the crucial points that will increase your computers speed. Now, wait a few days or weeks and use your computer and if you are happy with it clean out the recycle bin . Then go to the Programs Menu and Accessories and do a disk clean up and then a defragment of your computer drives and you will be in good shape.
