Why is my omputer being such a moron?


Question:
ok, so me & my lil sis & bro's all share this computer but we all have our own settings, desktop, etc. Now though, when I go to my area, my messenger takes a couple tries just to log in, and when I go to my internet it is SSSOOOOO SSSSLLLOOOWWW. And it seems like every other time I try to open something it waits awhile & then says,"program not responding. End now" so I have to start all over again. What is causing this? How can I get it to stop doing this & just go the speed it's spozed to? It's not spozed to be this slow,its not dialup so I dont even know.every time I switch from one screen to another it shows a box that says, "security could not be verified, continue?" & I always check yes just because its yahoo or myspace. Also, please keep in mind when answering that I know pretty much nothing about computers so I need the idiots guide. If you can help in any relevant way itd be greatly appreciated. Also, please no rude or pointless answers. Thanks so much. (=

Answer:
It will have to be real long answer. Your sluggish system required maintenance, do it the way I say. First of all increase your virtual memory or page file size open control panel double click system folder on opening page click advanced than Tick before Adjust for best performance & click apply(it will take a while). Than click advanced in coming window you will find virtual memory click setting. Select drive on which you want your virtual memory to be.Choose other than primary partion, then click custom and change the Page file size or virtual memory size by typing.
Initial size should be 1024 MB at least & max size should be not less than 2048 MB.
1. Search for temp files( In search box type *.tmp) click search. Delete all files that appears after search.
2. Than as above type *.log & do the same.
3. Search Temp folder Delete all it's content.
4. Search Temprory Internet Files & delete it's content.
5. Run updated Antivirus & Anti spyware.
6. Run disk cleanup from system tools in accessories.
7. Than defragment your drives twice from system tools Defrag.
8. From run type msconfig > enter > click on startup un check all checked field except of antivirus & anti spyware. Choose & click services, Check beside hide all MS Services. In remaining list uncheck all except Anti virus & Anti spyware services click apply click ok you will asked to restart click restart. You are almost done.
This will make your system considerably faster but one very essential action has to be taken and that is cleaning Registry which is the main reason of sluggis system. Dowload
WIN XP Manager or tuneup utilities install & clean. Try with win xp manager,s 1 click cleaner. You can download it from
www.softarchive.net. It requires dotnet fx so you will have to download it also. First you will have to install dotnet fx. It is free & you can get it from site of microsoft. Your PC will become as fast as it was when new or a bit better.
To increase the net speed do the following.
Click start & choose Run than in box type gpedit.msc click ok now in openig window click on administrative templates than double click on networks. Now double click on QoS Packet scheduler than double click on Limit reservable Band Width, on opening click enabled. Now you will get 20% band width limit set it to Zero by scrolling. You have increased your bandwidth by 20%.
use a freeware windows optimzer
Getting something that says program not responding is either going to be a windows issue or problem with the software that caused that. Do the other accounts act the same way? If not, login to the admin account and then delete yours and recreate it. If all are acting like that, you may need to reinstall windows.
You could run Startuprun, freeware from:-
http://www.brothersoft.com/software/nirs...

That will tell you what programs are running on startup and you can disable or delete any you don't want.

It could be your network speed too, if your broadband service provider is having problems at the moment the speed could be down.
