Of all the computer problems I hear about most frequently as a computer support professional, the most frequent complaint if that the computer is running slow.
A PC does slow down as it gets older and has more software and patches put on it.
If you have experienced a slowdown, perhaps it is time to check Windows registry entries for errors.
The registry resides as a hidden database inside your computer's operating system.
All of the settings for your hardware and software are stored in this database.
When you check Windows registry entries for problems, it is usually because you have added or removed software or hardware to your system.
You can fix these problems yourself by editing the registry directly, but that is best left for professionals.
You could do more harm than good if you make a mistake.
A better plan is to use one of the many fine registry utilities on the market today.
These tools make it easy to check Windows registry entries for errors, and then automatically correct any errors that are found.
The best programs allow you to do a backup of the registry before making any changes.
Don't put up with a slow computer, but don't ruin the computer in the process of trying to fix it yourself.
Pay the reasonable fee to get a copy of a highly-rated registry utility with a good guarantee.
It will more than pay for itself, the first time you use it.
, and your computing experience will be more productive.
