Becoming annoyed with my computer

April 25th, 2009

Like most people I have at some points become frustrated with my computer. Until very recently though, the problem was getting to the point of being ridiculous. The computer was so slow it was driving me mad and it was always crashing. In fact if I were to compare my computer to how it was when I first got it, I would say it was 80% slower. In fact the computer had become so slow that it made me think of my of my old ZX spectrum in that I used to turn it on and go off and do something else while it loaded up.

 

Anyway having endured the problems with the computer for several months I finally snapped and decided that I was either going to fix the computer or buy a new one. With new computers being costly I knew I had to consider the idea of fixing my current computer. I began as most people probably would by searching the world wide web. Having searched the net and read lots of articles I put together a list of possible soultions. The first soultion was to de frag the computer hard drive. I did this but it had little effect. The next solution to the slow computer issue was to remove any viruses or spy ware that my be on the computer. I used some software called AVG which did make a diffrence to how the computer ran. The computer was still not as good as it had been though so I moved onto the final potential solution which was scanning the computer for registry errors. Having run a free registry check, the registry checker I used identified around about one hundred and twenty errors. It cost me thirty dollars for the software to fix the errors but it worked quickly and made a significant difference to the speed of my computer. I suppose the lesson is that if you are happy to put time into fixing your computer you can save yourslef a lot of cash.
