Recommended Posts


my laptop has gone slow and sometimes wont display pictures and when it does it loads a little at a time very slowly,any ideas.

 

mine as well, but its only on here. I go on other sites and its lot faster no prob, some say its the (server) on here what ever that is, or could be (virus) slowing it down, i am on (Nod...) anti virus which does the virus auto. So i think it could be just this site . :yes: sometimes its that slow its not worth coming on, and you carnt move the pages .??

Here's a few things you can do to generally cleanup your computer:

 

1) Run a "Disk Defragment". this will compress all the files on your computer freeing up a potential goldmine of space.

 

2) Go to Control Panel > Programs, delete any programs you do not want or need. A lot of updates carry with them useless programs that are installed when you update your software. Go through the list and delete any you do not need.

 

3) LAST RESORT: If you've done the aforementioned tasks and still your computer is slow try buying more RAM (Random Access Memory). This is what is used when opening web pages, pictures, viewing videos etc... it will make your computer run faster based on how much you buy (1GB, 2GB etc...). But be sure to check how much more RAM your computer can handle, and buy the maximum amount.

download CC cleaner, it's free, run and clean up your history ect, go to the registry checker and scan for issues, when it asks do you want to back up before changes always backup. Go to the uninstall section and uninstall any programmes you don't use anymore, rerun the cleaner again. down load malawarebytes, its free again, and run a full scan, can take hours but it will check for any malware which can slow down your pc, check that your antivirus checker is upto date, if not update or if it costs download a freebe like Avast or AVG, if you bank online the banks often give you a years free anti virus like Kaspersky (Barclays) Uninstall any old antivirus before installing new ones as they can clash and slow down the pc even more, beware of Norton as this can slow down your PC. If your pc has had an automatic update check it hasn't updated to IE10 as some website don't support this yet, if so download chrome, hope this helps and as someone has said above defrag you hard drive, do it overnight as it can take forever depending on the size of your drive. ps all the above should be done at least once a month if not every week to keep your pc running fast
