   Support > Your computer is too slow... what to do ?
   
 

In this article we will explore several problems that slow down your PC and we will also suggest you some solutions.

Problem: Not enough RAM memory or Processor Speed

This is one of the most known problems. Depending of the Operating System you are using we recommend you to have:

Windows 98 / Me Memory 64 MB (or more) / CPU PII 120 Mhz (or better)
Windows 2000 Memory 128 MB (or more) / CPU PIII 700 Mhz (or better)
Windows XP Memory 256 MB (or more) / CPU P4 1.8 Ghz (or better)

Problem: Virus or Spyware on your system.

The internet is a wonderful tool, but in the recent years an invasion of Virus and Spyware have been slowing down our computers. Spyware sometimes count in the order of hundreds of program running on you computer without your knowledge and authorization. We suggest you to find a good Antivirus Software and also an Anti-Spyware utility.


Problem: Hard Disk Failure.


One of the worst case scenario problems, but also most common than we would like it to be. Always keep backup copies of your important files on CDs or DVDs. If your motherboard BIOS have the option to activate the SMART technology to detect possible Hard Disk failures, make sure to enable it: it will advise you to backup data and replace the Hard Disk before it is too late.


Problem: Windows XP registry is damaged.


It is not easy to diagnose this problem. Windows XP saves a lot of information into an special file called "the registry". This file can become corrupted, specially when a program installation is not completed or similar errors. The most recommended solution to this problem is to backup your data and reinstall the Operating System.
