Although there are utilities that are supposed to do, in my
experience, none of them work perfectly. So, I recommend that you do
do not try to move them, but rather to uninstall, then reinstall

Hello
I know that for your computer to start faster, you can disable in msconfig certain applications or auto-start services
I also know that to make your computer faster to do a virtual and half larger than the memory size, more you will need to start it and the value of the same size virtual memory, for example start value 3000 end value3000.
I know also some malicious spyware can slow down your computer.
In addition, you can add more memory to mke your computer more fast, your drive hard must be empty of 25%.
In addition to these things I mentioned before nested thing wat do I check to solve the problem of slow computer?
can you give me some?
Thank you
Johan
The size of the virtual memory required will depend on the type of requests and is influenced by the installed physical memory. The 1.5 times value really applies to computers with a limited amount of ram and the use of virtual will decrease with an increase in physical (but remove never virtual memory altogether) while Shawn says investigate fitting over RAM.
Setting the pagefile identical to max and min values will reduce fragmentation but was so moving to a less actively used by car.
http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/ff382717.aspx
The largest suites 'internet security' may have much more impact than the plain simple AV (that's why I use MSE).
By far the biggest kick in performance should be move to the SSD, it reduces by half my boot time.
If a desktop computer fits a discreet graphics card, she discharge the graphic CPU and restores memory used.
As well as Msconfig, check the contents of the process in the Task Manager tab. Most will be perfectly legitimate, but you can identify the odd thief of uninstalled programs.
NOT tempted by claims of speed countless programs available. Rarely, they make a significant difference and can do serious damage.

Whenever I try to open a new tab in Safari, it closes in on my previous page. How should I do so that I can have several tabs open?
What version of OS/Safari do you use?
Try a reboot.
Make a backup using Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure that data files can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try to set up another admin user account to see if the same problem persists. If back to my Mac is enabled in system preferences, the guest account will not work. The intention is to see if it is specific to an account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolate a problem by using a different user account
If the problem is still there, try to start safe mode using your usual account. Disconnect all devices except those necessary for the test. Shut down the computer and then put it up after a 10 second wait. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the SHIFT key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. Startup is considerably slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a check for directory and disables all start-up and connection, among other things. When you restart normally, the initial restart may be slower than normal. If the system is operating normally, there may be 3rd party applications that pose a problem. Try to delete/disable the third-party applications after a reboot using the UN-Installer. For each disable/remove, you need to restart if you do them all at once.

Slow computer, with a lot of not Respondings
All of a sudden I feel some very slow computer operation, randomly, but occurring essentially (like big breaks when you type this note while I couldn't type - several times). This is just an example - here's more:
-take several seconds (sometimes 10-15 seconds) to appear in the email preview pane
-take 10-15 seconds for a PDF file is displayed after double-clicking
-sometimes for 10 to 15 seconds to close a window
-sometimes 10 to 15 seconds when you click homepage, folders, display, count tabs on Windows Live Mail
-also 10 to 15 seconds discovers a photo after double clicking on a jpeg image file
-delays when you type in the search for box
-sometimes very slow loading of programs (and most of the cases above have to do with something loading)
-(don't know for the sake of typing (i.e. of the breaks in the middle of a line)
-Many do not respond (IE 10.0, Live Mail, Windows Explorer, Adobe Reader, almost everywhere)
I got these things in the past, but only very rarely (not more than a few times a day, if that), but now they are chronic (but random) - like constantly for a few minutes and then they clear up for a few minutes. For these last days, they have been more frequent in the late afternoon or early evening, when I'm more active on the computer.
In fact, they are so bad that occasionally they make my computer almost unusable.
I ran Malewarebytes and a Microsoft Security Essentials - no virus scan. I have delete just maybe 20,000 electronic messages in the Live Mail folder deleted, but that did not help. I have just some time he put a floor fan extra on the computer where there is a kind of heat problem (the House temperature is in the high 70 years), but tht didn't help either (at least so far).
I have published the Task Manager and have been watching process CPU usage (on my 2nd screen). Most of the time is to be spent in the system idle process - and you know how he flashes every second or so (when he's done things), sometimes when things were locked u (frozen, whatever), the display of the process seems to have stopped for several seconds - as she did not answer either.
Can you offer any help or advice. As I said, sometimes the system is pretty unusable. And randomly. I got 3 messages "(Microsoft.com ne répond ne pas de) when typing the 1st paragraph of this note, but have not had any problems since."
Can it be a heat problem, graphics problem or something like that - because it seems to stretch across everything I do.

Think about it an absolute must - manually update your drivers.
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: run DriverView - define the VIEW
for the drivers Microsoft hide - updated those without drain in their names. (Also updated
the BIOS and chipset drivers.)-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.htmlFor 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.

get new manually if you wish.Stop Windows 7 to automatically install device drivers
