Windows was one of the first operating systems to introduce a graphical user interface.
This was a revolution, which saw the software become one of the most popular EVER made.
Now, with the likes of XP & Vista, Microsoft is riding a huge wave...
but there's a problem.
Windows has a tendency to run slow, even if your computer is very new.
This is a problem which is affecting millions of computers around the world, and isn't going away.
So how do you fix it? The fact is that there are a few MYTHS running around about how to speed up your computer.
The biggest one is that you need to get upgrades for your PC to make it faster.
This is total baloney, because computers are much like motor cars...
they were designed to run at a certain speed, and keep that speed throughout their lives.
Just because a new Ferrari has been released, doesn't make your older motor run slower.
So if a new computer is released, it doesn't make your machine run slower.
Every PC is made up of hardware (bits and pieces inside the box).
This hardware determines the speed at which your computer runs (much like a car's engine).
So if your PC starts to run slow, do you think you'd actually change its entire engine? Nope.
There is simply no need - because the real reason your computer is running slow, is because Windows is jammed up with a bunch of corrupt files.
There's a part of your PC called the "registry".
This is the central database for your computer and is extremely important.
It's so important that Windows actually adds & updates it every single time you use your computer.
This is great, but the problem is that sometimes, these files become corrupt or lost.
And since your PC *needs* them to run, it has to slow down to find them all again.
This slows your computer down, and keeps making it slower every day that you don't fix it.
Luckily, there's an easy way to get round this problem.
You see, certain tools have been developed called 'registry cleaners'.
These tools actually go into the registry database and clean out all the bad files that are in there.
The more files that are fixed, the faster & more reliable your PC will become.
