My computer was running so slow,
so I downloaded a registry cleaner from ccleaner.com and my computer hasn't run this fast since I bought my computer. Just thought I'd share. The best part is that its free!!

ccleaner is good...works like a charm on my XP outfit.
you might also try lavasoft.com to download a free spyware program that does a decent job
of getting rid of spyware which also slows down your computer.
There are doubless other programs which do the job as well...but these two work for me.

Re: Have you tried...
Have you tried deleting you cookies that are on your computer? You may also try rebooting you 'puter also.

That CCleaner is just great. I run it once a month and every few days run your disk cleanup and the disk defragmenter.
Have a Great week

And don't forget your registry
If you want a tool that will improve the performance of your computer, try Registry Mechanic. You'll be amazed at the problems it will find. It costs money, but it's worth it! Believe me.
You can perform a registry scan for free:
http://www.pctools.com/registry-mechanic/rmlopb/
It will show you the registry errors, but it won't fix them. But once you see how many errors you have, you'll be tempted to buy it. I run it everyday.
Something else that will improve the performance is to do a disk defragmentation. It takes a while, but that will enable your hard drive to access files quicker.
Good luck.
