The 2 Easiest Ways to Make Your PC Run Like New

A slow computer is one of the most frustrating things in our modern day life.
Typically we purchase a new personal computer (PC) every few years and love how fast it starts, loads websites and runs the programs. Eventually we notice it slows down until we are practically yanking our hair out waiting for it to complete routine computer tasks.
Why does this happen you may ask? As it turns out the answer is relatively easy and you don't have to be especially technical to see the causes and understand the solutions.
The good news to reveal is it's not the hardware in the computer that causes the problem. Usually the hardware in your machine is in fine condition and just needs a little care to restore it to its former faster working self.



The main problem lies within an accumulation of invisible changes that happen to the software in the PC. The following are the two most common causes that create the slow down:

1. The most common problem: Registry errors in The PC:

Every time you (or the kids) download a program, play a game, or open a file, the software registry of your PC gets updated by new instructions necessary to operate that program. But, after that item is later removed, those instructions can invisibly remain inside your PC. If you run your computer, your machine attempts to execute these instructions again and again, but, because the older program can't now be found, it will now cause a registry error. Thus, your PC is doing a bunch of invisible working on old, partially deleted programs, way more work than it should be, which ties up your system needlessly which results in a much slower computer.
One of the fastest ways to fix this problem is with a cool little tool from a company based in California via their website: xxxxxxxxxx (see below). They named it ARO 2013 and it first scans, then identifies, and finally fixes registry errors on your machine-cleaning up file fragments and returning your computer to almost as fast as when you bought it. The software is quite easy to install and recently won an award by CNET's editorial staff for the 4.5 star rating (4 out of 5) and has now been downloaded over 30 million times.

You can obtain a working version of the software for free, which can scan your PC and find the various registry errors that bog it down and keep it running slow. The free version will scan for any junk pieces of leftover files and further checks the baseline security status of your PC. Their software is set up to only eliminate the first 50 errors with the free version. If it finds more errors than that which you want to clean up or if you want to set up the program to run itself on a regular basis you can then upgrade to the more complete version for only $29.95. Following that, there will be few, if any partial files left on your computer and you will notice how much faster your laptop works.

2. Spyware and viruses problem:

Viruses and Spyware are software programs that are secretly downloaded onto your computer without your permission or knowledge. Their nefarious various purposes include:

• Switching a different default search engine in your browser
• To track your surfing habits on the Web, then showing you targeted advertising
• Illegally using your email program to blast out spam to email addresses
• Stealing your personal identity information
• Most viruses and spyware got into a computers via files we downloaded from the Internet or as an attachment to an email message. These malicious programs use up a lot of power in the computer and thereby slow your computer down that is very noticeable.

There is a basic rule of thumb that needs to be followed which is to never download any software programs that are free from companies you do not personally know or trust, particularly emoticons, screensavers and similar items. Further, when in your email account, you should never open the attachment to an email until you are 100 percent certain you know or trust the sender of the email message. Everyone should have an excellent anti-virus/spyware removal tool running all the time. Some of these programs are free and others for a small payment.

Speed Up Your PC Boot Time

Are you irritated of your personal computer while booting it up?
Do it take too much time to boot or start up ?
You must be thinking that it is infected by some kind of virus or some files have been corrupted, this might be a reason but there are also some other reasons.
To improve the booting process of your computer,you need to follow these few tips .

Disable Unwanted Start Up Programs

To remove all unwanted programs from start up, Simply Go to Start Menu and Select RUN(Win 7 users should directly type the command in search box). Type msconfig and a window will appear show you a list of programs that start it self when your computer boot up. Remove/Uncheck the unwanted programs that you dont want on start up like yahoo messanger,live messanger,Google Update,Gtalk, utorrent etc and Apply OK.
If you dont have any idea simply download and install this software.
Speed Boot Time

Upgrade RAM

Whenever computer boots up, it load all the necessary files in RAM. So the more capacity you provide for computer to load programs, the less time will it take to boot up.Lower capacity of RAM can decrease the booting process.
I will suggest to use a RAM above 512MB.If you are using window XP it is appropriate to use 1GB RAM while for Windows 7 and above use at least 2GB RAM.

Avoid Low Disk Space

Due to non availability of space to Primary Drives , computer will look for free disk space if it did not have free disk space .i.e there is low disk space then it will slow down the booting process of your computer.So, it is good to check the free space and delete all the unnecessary files (temporary files) and try to use the other drives for back up or copying anything other than the primary partition.
I will suggest to maintain a huge space especially for primary partition.

Perform Disk Defragmentation

Defragmenting your hard drive regularly is the important part of maintenance.It is actually the arrangement of fragments of a file on your hard disk.
Whenever your computer slow down or having trouble while opening a large file then you must perform defragmentation on your hard disk.
I will suggest to perform defragmentation on your hard drive once a week.

"The Disk is write-protected", Remove write-protection from USB drive

Have you ever encountered this problem while using your USB drive , memory card or other Removable Storage media?

"The disk is write-protected. Remove the write-protection or use another drive."

Here are some solution to overcome this problem.

1. Using Lock Switches :

Some USB drives and Memory card come with a built-in switch that is used to lock the drive for write protection or to prevent any changes to data in the drive.
Examine the Drive or MMC closely, if you find a switch lock, turn it to the other side to unlock the write protection.

2. Check Permission of the Removable Storage Media :

a. Right Click on Removable Storage Media (USB , MMC etc) and select properties in the explorer windows.
b. Now in the Properties window, Select Security tab.
c. Select 'user' under user name and click on 'Edit'.
d. Now make sure that the 'Full Permission' or 'Write' option is checked. 

3. Using Registry Editor :

a. Go to Start Menu.Select RUN.
b. Type here REGEDIT and Press OK.
c. Now Registry Editor window will open. Naviagate to the following path.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\StorageDevicePolicies

d. Now in the right pane, search for the WriteProtect.
e. Check its value.

Writeprotect = 0 (0 means Write protection is off)
Writeprotect = 1 (1 means write protection is on)

if its value is 1, change it to 0 . 
that's it :) .

Sometime after navigating through the path :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ 

you came to know that the key StorageDevicePolicies does not exists.
in that case you have to create a new key at that path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ 
Create a new key and name it as StorageDevicePolicies. Now open this newly created key and right click in the right pane.select New , then DWORD. Name this DWORD as Writeprotect and give it a value of 0.
