Is Windows XP Slow to Start Up and Slow To Run? Are your programs and games running so slow you give up using them?
When your computer starts up the first thing that happens is windows loads all the programs it needs to run at start up. If there are a lot of programs installed this can take a considerable amount of time and until they are loaded you just have to wait until they are finished loading before you can do anything.
The next thing that happens is windows reads everything from the windows registry and applies all the program, windows and device settings for your computer that are stored in there, and the bigger the registry the longer it takes and makes windows XP slow.
If there are too many programs installed or errors in your computer registry it will slow right down and will keep running slowly until these problems are fixed.
Here are three ways to fix this.
#1 Remove programs from windows start up by going to your start menu then programs then startup and right click any in there you don’t want to start up and delete it from there. This will just remove the programs from start up and will not remove the programs themselves.
#2 Remove programs you are not using by going to add and remove programs which is in the windows control panel and then look at the list of programs in there. Remove what you do not need or use as these will make windows XP slow.
#3 Launch the windows task manager by pressing ctrl-alt-del on your keyboard simultaneously. Then select the task manager tab then processes. You will be able to see in there quite clearly what programs are using the most memory that you are currently using.
#4 The next step is to run a free registry scan. This will find errors in your computer registry that are slowing windows down. As windows stats up and runs it is constantly referring to the registry to find out how to load and run programs and what settings are needed for windows and programs. Once errors appear in the registry windows will run with an increasing number of problems.
Each time you add a program entries are added and even after you remove programs the entries remain and windows keep looking for these programs, unless you fix it. By running a registry scan you can find all these entries quickly and fix your PC and make it run faster in minutes and you will no longer find windows XP slow.
