Speed Up Boot Windows XP
Windows XP might be one of the oldest operating systems, but it’s still one of the most popular – with millions of people using it every day around the World. Using this system is good because it’s reliable and simple, but it has a tendency to run slowly. This is a problem which you can fix quite easily, and here are 3 of the easiest ways how.
1) Uninstall Unwanted Programs – XP is great if you want to install a series of different programs on it. However, if you install too many, it can actually slow down your system. The problem is that having different programs on your PC leads the system to run slow as these programs take up valuable memory and CPU speed. Even when they are not running, many programs are on in the “background”, which all takes its toll on the speed and reliability of your system. This means that if you have a number of programs on XP, you should click on START > CONTROL PANEL > ADD / REMOVE PROGRAMS. It’s important that you remove any program you don’t want, and if you just want to get your PC running as quickly as possible, it’s advised that you remove all the chat programs like AIM and SKYPE, because they use the most processes.
2) Remove User Accounts – Although XP allows you to have several different users on one machine, the presence of these users will actually cause your computer to run slower. That’s because each user that your computer has will actually add more settings and files to your PC that it needs to constantly process. If your computer is running slowly, you need to cut the user accounts and to do that, you should click on START > CONTROL PANEL > USER ACCOUNTS. Remove all the ones that are on there apart from the administrator account.
3) Clean The Registry – The ‘registry’ is actually one of the biggest causes of a slow system. That’s because it’s a central database inside XP which is constantly being corrupted and damaged, increasing the time it takes to read the files that are in there. The registry is a very important part of your system, but it’s also the reason why so many XP machines run slowly and with errors. It’s all down to how many registry files are opened every time you use your computer – and how opening too many of these files makes Windows confused and leads it to save many of them wrongly… causing your PC to become damaged.
The registry is the most common cause of slow systems, and is actually pretty easy to fix. You need to clean out all the corrupt registry files that are lurking inside the XP system & slowing it down… and to do that, you need to use a registry repair tool, which scans through all of the registry files and fixes them for you. To use one of these tools, you need to find one from the Internet (you can see one below) and then install it. You should then let it scan your system and it will reveal the number of errors that are inside it and slowing it down. If your PC has 500+ errors, then its advisable that you let the cleaner remove them.
