Its safe to assume that the probelm of a slow computer is one which many people have so I ahve written this guiide of how I fixed mine to help people to fix it. So to begin with lets take a look at what was actually going wrong with it. Well over the years the performance of my computer had dropped off slowly but significantly. The computer took a lot longer to boot up now than it had done and program's now crashed a lot showing the message "this program is not responding".

I had of course thought about replacing the computer but this seemed to me like an expensive option epically as I was not trying to do anything which the computer had not been capable of in the past. So I began to search the Internet for a solution and I came across www.fix-this-computer.com a web site offering advice on getting the most out of your computer. I took a good look around the site and tried the virus checker and the spy ware checker. These scans didnt find anyhting but then i cam across the section of the web site about windows registry errors. From reading the text I could tell that the symptoms that were described were the same as mine so I decided I had windows regsitry errors. I visited the the link offering a free scan and was directed to a software site where I downloaded software that scanned my computer for registry errors. The scan took about twenty minutes and found a staggering 307 errors. I purchased the software and when I did this I was given a password to upgrade my trial version which I had downloaded. Using the software was simple and it was quickly scanning my computer for errors. It took the software ten minutes to repair the registry errors and since it did my computer has ran like new.
