Hi All,
I have observed over the years that when I build a new PC it is
very fast, but as time goes by it slows down progressively until it is
virtually unbearable. Then I end up formatting and reinstalling all the apps
(takes a couple of days usually) and a week or more to get back to normal.
Are there any other methods or is there good software for returning a pc to
good performance after a few months or is this unavoidable. I observe good
practise when uninstalling software, using windows uninstall each time. But
the damn registry seems to have a tumour whichgrows and grows until bootup
is as slow as win95 or 3.1 and Im using a P4 2.6 with 512m ram. Any advice
would sure be welcome....John (fed up rebuilding pc`s)
