When you computer runs slow there are several things that you can do. There are free tools and utilites available that can help you with this process of making your computer go faster. The first thing that you want to do is startby cleaning your hard drive up and defregmenting it. Defragmenting your hard drive will move all of the files so that they are not scattered which will allow your hard drive to access these files faster.

This can be done form any Windows operating system by clicking on your start menu> All Programs> Accessories>System Tools. From here you will be able to run both Disk Cleanup and Defragment. You will want to run Disk Clean up first. This will rid your hard drive of all temporary internet files and any thing else that is just cluttering your drive. You will not lose anything important by doing this. Then Defragment you drive.

You can also access Scheduled Tasks to schedule these two tasks to be done for you automatically. It is recommended that you schedule them to run at least once a month to keep your hardf drive clean.
