    For running slow there are many causes:
    Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer!
    Spyware/Adware
    RAM
    De-Fragmenting
    Etc.

    Below can help you speed up your pc:

    Manage your startup:
    Open your Start menu -> Click Run -> In the command screen type “msconfig.exe” -> In the “system configuration utility”, click either “service” or “startup” tab -> Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.

    De-Fragmenting
    1. Right click of C Disk.
    2. Click properties.
    3. Click tools tab.
    4. Click “Defragment now”.
    5. Click Defragment.

    Microsoft Registry Problems = Slow Computer!
