Today, you are going to learn about how to speed up a computer unit that has adopted the top speed of a turtle going for an afternoon stroll. This is no laughing matter. Computers do come to this sad and sorry state, and there is a very plausible reason why these types of things happen.

The very culprit that causes your unit to move at a snail�s pace is the operating system�s registry. If you are wondering what a registry is, it is a humongous database that acts as your PC�s central hub. It holds the responsibility of regulating all existing, incoming, and outgoing applications and programs that pass through your unit. Without the registry, your PC wouldn�t run at all. Each command you type in, each application you install or delete, each new file you create are all duly recorded and taken into account by your registry. Unfortunately, everything has its limit, and that includes your registry. Once it is full of all the files and applications it has processed, it becomes full and engorged, thus slowing down all the programs in your computer that you access on a daily basis. You will start to notice that booting up takes forever, and shutting down takes even longer. Your PC will be subject to freeze ups and crashes as your registry tries to cope with its already bloated self.

The next step you have to take involves making sure these incidents don�t happen. Since Microsoft has designed your registry to be one intricate and complicated piece of work, it will be very difficult for you to repair your registry yourself without damaging your whole system. The best option you can take is to get a registry cleaner program that will scan your PC for free, and find out which unneeded and unwanted files are clogging your registry. The registry will also give you the option to get rid of these files, enabling your registry and unit to finally gain the speed that you require. Once the registry cleaner is installed in your system, you will also be gratified to know that it will constantly monitor your unit and keep all slow downs, freezes, and system crashes away forever.
