How to speed up my computer

is there a way to speed up my computer so I can play games, its an old computer, but it used to run faster, sometimes it freezes, what is it please?

original title: STUCK, what it takes to please

How much RAM (memory) your computer have installed?  Any more, 1 GB is a minimum [practice] and 2 + GB is desirable.   With too little RAM, your memory needs will overflow in virtual memory and your hard disk light will be constantly, slow down your machine to a crawl.  If this is your case, your only viable option is to add memory to your motherboard.

    PSU Corsair CMPSU-850AXUK 850W

    Pioneer BDR-205 / 12 x internal SATA Blu - Ray BD - RE drive

    Is there a reason why he does not just more quickly, and is there settings you can recommend for me to do, especially for the rendering time?

    Thanks in advance :-)

    HOW KNOW WHAT PROGRAMS ARE SAFE TO REMOVE, SO YOU CAN SPEED UP YOU COMPUTOR

    Ouch! Please do not yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally, in different cases.

    You can remove any program that you have installed, but do not use. As long as you do not remove your security or components of Windows software, there is no security problem.

    But note the following. Removing a program will save you a bit of disk space, but it does not speed up the computer. What are the programs * race * affects the speed, not what you have installed.

  • How to speed up my signal for Auntie plu photon strength?

    Original title: problem with Auntie photon more net connection

    How to speed up my signal for Auntie plu photon strength? My net is too slow & very dull.

    Hi shilpadarbar,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Communities. From your problem description, I understand that the internet connection is slow. Before you start the troubleshooting steps, I need the required information:

    ·         You get the error message?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

    Follow these methods to the problem of slow internet connectivity.

    Method 1: Follow these steps:

    Step 1: Start the computer in safe mode with network and check if the problem persists.

    Step 2: If the problem does not persist in safe mode with networking, perform a clean boot to see if there is a software conflict as the clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    Note: After completing the steps in the clean boot troubleshooting, follow the section How to configure Windows to use a Normal startup state from the link to start the computer to a Normal startupmode.

    After the clean boot used to resolve the problem, you can follow these steps to configure Windows XP to start normally.

    (a) click Start, run.

    (b) type msconfigand click OK.

    (c) the System Configuration Utility dialog box appears.

    (d) click the general tab, click Normal startup - load all services and device drivers and then click OK.

    (e) when you are prompted, click restart to restart the computer.

    Method 2: Temporarily disable the security software.

    Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you do not disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network during the time that your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

    Method 3: Follow the steps in the article.

    You can also see this article for more information.

  • How can I make my computer run more efficiently?

    Hello

    Okay, so I asked recently how I could make my computer faster. I have a Compaq Presario SR1601NX with HP ha17 monitor. It runs Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3. I installed CCleaner and Defraggler on my computer. I use CCleaner at least twice a week, especially after using the internet. I also run Defraggler at least twice a month. In addition, I have Microsoft Security Essentials, that I keep up to date, as I do with Windows Firewall, automatic updates and Virus protection. I went through and remove all programs that I don't use, and I run chkdsk, find no problem. After you run CCleaner and Defraggler, my computer seems a bit faster. However, after some time, it is once more quite slow. Anyone know anything else I can do to make my computer run faster and more efficiently. I don't want to clutter up my machine with random programs. I'm also looking for things I can do for free. I prefer to buy a new computer than to invest money in my only current. It is just better to buy a new one? If so, what kind of computer should I get in? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

    CCleaner is a program to eliminate the stuff that you don't need, and so
    save you disk space; It really doesn't do anything to improve
    performance. Maybe defragment the hard drive can speed things up
    some, but how effective is it is depends on how you use your computer.

    With very few exceptions, all the programs that are designed to speed up your
    computer is nothing but snake oil powder and are likely to be a problem.
    I recommend that avoid you them like the plague.

    Without a lot more details, it is very difficult to know what is causing your
    problem, but maybe you run modern software and your former
    Material XP - era is really too slow for her.
    With Windows XP support this ending coming April, purchase a new
    computer and run the latest version of Windows (Windows 8)
    probably makes the most sense. It will give you a modern material and a
    supported Windows version.

  • How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed?

    Original title: I need a market to resolve the problem remove the instrument.

    How can I get my computer my external USB drive (portfolio) after that I repeatedly get the message that the device "can not be removed? I have closed all other programs and waited for varying amounts of time, and tried all of the fixes that have been proposed on this site. Nothing works. I don't want to turn off the computer whenever I have to remove the device.

    I can't know what "all patches" you've tried, but:

    Make sure that the system restore does not monitor the external drive.  SR does need to control the system drive and to the system drive, SR has only about 1 GB of space max.  Make a right click my computer and select properties then the System Restore tab to configure SR.

    Make sure that the Indexing Service is turned off (at least for the external drive).  To disable disk indexing completely, which will also speed up your computer a bit, see http://lifehacker.com/031440/turn-off-indexing-and-speed-up-windows-xp.  For the external drive, right-click on the drive icon in my computer, select properties and uncheck the indexing disc

    There are different workarounds short to shut down the computer, but you might want to try this third-party app first:
    http://safelyremove.com/index.html  Among other features:

    The device cannot be stopped now. Why? Never encountered the situation when Windows does not allow you to remove a device? Unlike Windows, USB remove will show you programs which prevent the device to be stopped and let you close these programs or just files that they opened on the device.
