How to speed up my laptop
I looked on google, bing, etc. for free registry cleaners, but they all seem to only offer a free scan, then once you have agreed to scan, results come up prompting you to buy before vacuuming it will clean.
My laptop is so slow and do my internet extremely slow, so that my internet provider always tells me that I am close to exceed my monthly limit.
Moreover, my internet provider has verified my connection broadband and says it's ok.
This means that I have a problem my registry cleaning.
Ideas please
Hello
Away some registry cleaners being more oil instead of the problems that they create and snake
them. More they claim to be able to help the most hype is.

Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.
This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:
This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:
-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html
For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.
Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.
Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)
Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
each installation.
Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
necessary.
Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
manually by model.
Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

How to install a device driver in Vista Device Manager
http://www.Vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-Device-Manager-install-driver.html
If you update the drivers manually, then it's a good idea to disable the facilities of driver under Windows
Updates, that leaves about Windows updates but it will not install the drivers that will be generally
older and cause problems. If updates offers a new driver and then HIDE it (right click on it), then
get new manually if you wish.

AMD A6 Series: How to speed up my laptop for games
Product number: How can J5t41UA #ABA I speed up my laptop without losing too much money?
To provide a little explanation, there is really little of anything you can do with a laptop.
To speed up your desktop for games, you could consider all the following:
(1) upgrade the current processor to a more powerful and faster that remains compatible with the motherboard
2) install faster memory - if it is available and if the motherboard will handle it. If the faster memory is not available, then the current memory overclock (and if necessary, the CPU as well)
(3) install more memory - if you use very little, say 1 GB
(4) replace the integrated graphic card graphics high-end focus on the game - which will be VERY expensive!
(5) replace the hard drive with one of the new, high-end SSD
In a laptop, you can often add more memory, but not enough to actually help gaming performance; and also, you can replace the hard drive with an SSD. But even in this case, comparative tests have shown that game by using an SSD does not result in the improvement of the notable performance during the game with a hard drive at high speed.
So, basically, no, there is really nothing you can do to turn your laptop into a game machine.
Sorry

Step 2: If the question does not persist in SafeMode with network, then put the computer to boot and check what third-party application's driver is causing the problem:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135
Note: after a repair, be sure to configure the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.
Method 2: Run the Microsoft safety scanner to ensure that the system is free of infection by the virus:

How can I secure my laptop when I surf the internet via a public router at work?
How can I secure my laptop when I surf the internet via a public router at work? I mean if I use a router to work and others use too and I use a private laptop! I heard that someone hase the knoladge he can enter my laptop the couscous that he uses the same router I do. you have a special program for that, or is there a place in my computer that I need to enable to avoid the unwanted entries?
If your Windows is updated and your Windows Firewall is enabled and that you have updated anti-virus, that would be fine. In Windows 7, you must check Action Center in Control Panel to see your security status, if something is wrong that it will show a message in Windows XP and Windows Vista, he calls the center of security.
They may only enter your laptop or hack, if your firewall is disabled or there is a vulnerability in your system or a Malware would cause of vulnerability, and in all cases to ensure that your Windows updates and anti-virus is running, you are protected.
Another thing is that if your router requires the password, then choose strong password and change it regularly, if it is public without password or authentication, then you need to careful when visiting Web sites because they could be monitor and publicly display information. Some websites have encryption that in Internet Explorer, it shows as a lock icon pad indicating that your transaction is encrypted and you're safe.
It depends also wireless encryption in your company that will be in service by admin or SOUND Department if it's WPA2 which is good but for WEP or WPA, you should be very careful. I suggest to discuss this issue with your COMPUTER service too.

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?

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.

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.
