Becoming annoyed with my computer

Like a lot of people I sometimes get annoyed with my computer. Until very recently though, the problem was getting to the point of being ridiculous. The PC was going so slow it was painful and it was always crashing. In fact compared to how my computer was when I first purchased it I would say that my computer was about eighty percent slower. In fact the computer had become so slow that it made me think of my of my old ZX spectrum in that I used to turn it on and go off and do something else while it loaded up.

Anyway having endured the problems with the computer for several months I finally snapped and decided that I was either going to fix the computer or buy a new one. With computers costing a fair bit I though I should give serious investigation to the idea of fixing the computer. I began, as most people would do, by searching the Internet. Once I had scanned the web and read a whole load of articles I complied a lits of possible soultions. The first soultion was to de frag the computer hard drive. I carried this out but it had very effect. The second potential solution to the problem was to remove unwanted spy ware and viruses from the computer. I ran a program called AVG anti virus to do this and it did have an effect on the computer with it running a fair bit better afterwards. My computer was still not up to the standard it once was though so I decided to proceed to next and final possible solution which was to scan my computer for windows registry errors. Having run a free registry check, the registry checker I used identified around about one hundred and twenty errors. It cost me thirty dollars for the software to fix the errors but it worked quickly and made a significant difference to the speed of my computer. I suppose the lesson is that if you are happy to put time into fixing your computer you can save yourslef a lot of cash.
