  1. Uninstall and reinstall Yahoo and MSN
  2. If that doesn’t solve your problem, scan your entire disk for viruses
  3. Remove unnecessary items from your start-up
  (Start–>Run–>msconfig)
  remove unnecessary startups and services.
  4. Uninstall all unwanted programs. Download Ccleaner and cleanup your hard disk.
  5. If the problem is still persisting, try re-installing windows
  6. Buy some additional memory

  If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don’t always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task.

  First, if you haven’t cleaned your registry in a while. This is necessary. Your registry holds all the information regarding updates, installs, un-installs etc. Each one of those events produces a key. That key needs your PC’s resources and free space. So, if you clean your registry, you make more resources available for speed. Do a registry scan if you got more than 20 errors you should clean it.

  2. Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.Here is how:

  1. Quit Internet Explorer, Firefox, or any other web browser
  2. Click Start, click “Control Panel”, and then double-click “Internet Options”.
  3. On the General tab, click “Delete Files” under Temporary Internet Files.
  4. In the Delete Files dialog box, click to select the “Delete all offline content” check box , and then click OK.
  5. Click OK.

  3. Manage your startups. Your excess CPU usage is due to too many programs running in the background. You can cut these to barebones by alter your msconfig. Here is how:

  1. Open your Start menu.
  2. Click Run
  3. In the command screen type “msconfig.exe”
  4. In the “system configuration utility”,click either “service” or “startup” tab
  5. Uncheck all programs that your are no longer using.
  6. Click “OK”

  I can sense your frustration. I have had the same problem in the past.

  Some uninstallers for Windows software do not completely remove all traces of the software from the registry. It is possible that these traces may interfere with performance or have other negative impacts. Using a registry cleaner is a way to get rid of these bits. The registry cleaner scans the registry, and picks out the unnecessary and/or damaged pieces and deletes/repairs them.

  There are many registry cleaners on the market today… you can look at some reviews of the top selling products here… http://registrycleanupsoftware.com/reviews.html

  One of these products solved my problem.

  There is also a terrific book called “The PC Secret Formula”. It is very comprehensive and will guide you thru a step by step process of optimizing and securing your PC. This resource is really top notch. I had to dig around to find the link to it but I finally found it… http://askfirstmarketing.com/evaluates/PCSecretFormula

  Hope this helps
