  I'm not agree with the above statement, that registry cleaners are not necessary. Most of the software built for windows at some point create registry entries - unless they do not need installation and are just .exe to the exodus or portable versions maybe... but...
  The point is, the more you install as much as is written for your victory. Registry. Once u uninstall a program/game for a reason, they get left behind again by official uninstalers. If after some time your registry database is saturated with useless stuff and if you're not careful also, it breaks and it slows down your windows.  I discovered that the best way to prevent these contingencies is that simply do not experiment you a lot with facilities of different things unless it is necessary to absolutelly. Perform a scan to reg after uninstalation of sw. ; remove unnecessary entries, defragment. Reboot, defragment your hard drive. later and you're done until the next uninstall.
  I had very few issues with my pc without any antivirus and anti spyware software tips for 5-7 years - and those that I had were a result of a fake a click. So if you're just a little more intelligent and knowledgeable about what you do online, you won't really miss these kinds of bloatware (s)

  p.s. in another thread, I will post about a glitch that happens with my trash. Maybe it's related.

  The function of Secure Erase of Trash was removed to El Capitan. One of the reasons was that it worked as expected. The other is that it reduces the life expectancy of the SSD.

  I would suggest your download and install OmniDiskSweeper. When you rum ODS, it will tell you the names of the files and folders that use the most space. You can then decide for yourself or ask us what can be detected or moved.

  The first step in the process must be a full backup of everything.

  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 Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
  video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
  cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
  This will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
  own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
  (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the 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 - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
  because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
  pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  Something seems to be continually downloading in the background, and the computer is so slow, it is booting?

  Since the very little information you provided, I do not know why
  He runs slowly. But two points:

  1. first of all, note that you should be concerned all the programs
  starts automatically, not only those who enter in the system tray.
  Not all the programs auto-start manifesting by an icon in the
  Status bar.

  On each program, you don't want to automatically start, check its
  Options to see if he has the choice of not start (make sure you)
  Indeed choose not to run, not just a "don't show icon.
  Optional). Many can easily and better be arrested like that. If that is not
  work, run MSCONFIG from the start. Run the line, and then click the Startup tab.
  Uncheck the programs that you do not want to automatically start.

  However, if I were you, I wouldn't do it just for the application of
  the minimum number of running programs. Despite what many people say
  You should be concerned, not with the way that a lot of these programs
  you run, but who. Some of them can degrade performance severely, but
  others have no effect on performance.

  Don't stop all programs to run willy-nilly. What you need to do
  is to determine what each program is, what its value is up to you which
  the performance cost is its running all the time. You can try
  Internet search and ask questions about the details here.

  Once you have this information, you can make a smart informed
  decision on what you want to keep and what you want to get rid of.

• My computer is very slow and I was told that I should clear up until my departure and eliminate the number of programs that run at startup to the top.

  My real problem is to know how to clean the programs that are run at startup to the top. In addition, any other suggestions on how to improve the speed of my computer.

  Manage your startup:

  Open your Start menu-> click on run-> in the command screen type "msconfig.exe"-> in the "system configuration utility", click on a 'service' or 'Startup' tab-> uncheck all the programs you are no longer help.

  The fragmentation

  1. Right-click the C drive.
  1. Click on properties.
  1. Click on the Tools tab.
  1. Click "defragment now".
  1. Click on defragment.

  You can search what process you use cpu and the end of the process.

  Under steps:

  1. right click on the taskbar.

  2. click on the Task Manager.

  3. click on the processes tab.

  4. double-click on the CPU.

• Computer works more slow due the number of running processes

• Why is-Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

  I just upgraded Production Premium CS4 Production Premium CS5.  Have Windows 7, 64 bit OS, 9 GB ram,

  Processors Intel quad I-7 (over clocked to 2.90 ghz) 2.67 with hyperthreading.  I have nothing of any real substance

  running on my system in addition to Adobe.  I've just loaded in a ton of DVC PRO HD 60 images and am editing 30 minutes

  program.  Once I am in Adobe first Pro CS 5, it works quite well, everything works well in real time.  However, the time

  I click away from Premiere Pro as on my desktop, then try to click back in the Premier Pro, my screen goes white, Premiere Pro says

  "do not answer" in the title bar and everything freezes for a solid minute.  4 CS do not at all.  Anyone know what is happening?

  Eddiem TKS.

  The goal is to help and solve problems for all parties involved so that we can all be more productive.

  I never said or implied at all this:

  To say there is no problem with CS 5 software is just ignorant happiness and to be honest, deteriorate distorted.

  So... I'll put this another way for you then.  I will not have any issues that you and Sacha face with P2 files in particular.

  They review they rank, export etc...

  I have an ongoing project that has 54 GB of mxf source files.  Not a question that sounds like something that you mentioned above.

  It's a lot of files or a large project... I don't know compared to your projects... but combined with mixed graphic files more seq TIFF and tgas, wavs more notice of AEFX... it certainly adds to the top in my system.

  My material is not super computer. This is not even a system RAIDed.

  Must report... I go really far, or, to and from something else that applications of the Adobe Suite in my Suite CS5 but often many of them are open at the same time.

  I had a system glitch that caused 'go a little sleepy' apps, when left UN attended.  It was an advanced power management framework. (some what hidden)

  I also have a NAS, but this isn't for editing where to.  IT has Media Junction in my configuration between suites for the file archive and transfer only.

  Re: Why is-Premiere Pro CS5 slower on my system than Premiere Pro CS 4?

  My experience is that I said previously.  CS5 is much faster than CS4.  I suspect that many others have a similar experience to mine.

  So the question you guys are seen as being a little more unique to yourself.

  Good luck
