How to Fix a slow computer

Matterhorn Business SolutionsTel. 587-350-1082Email: david@matterhornsolutions.cahttp://matterhornsolutions.ca/calgary-tech-support/

1.Uninstall unnecessary programs.

The more programs you install, the more space they occupy in the RAM. If your RAM is almost full, your PC will become very slow.

2. Choose small, lightweight programs.

Large programs take up a big amount of RAM space and slow down the PC.

5. Free up the system drive.

If the drive where Windows is installed is almost full, your computer will become very slow. If you have files in the ‘Documents’ or in the ‘Downloads’ folder on the system drive, move them to other drives.

6. Disable unnecessary startup programs.

To stop a program from running at the startup, click on the ‘Start’ button, then type “msconfig” to open the msconfig.exe program. Then uncheck the programs that you don’t want at the startup.
