Slow Running Computer

A little personal slow running computer experience, by Jay Leger:

I spent a great deal of time investigating my internet connection and my internet speed problem before I came to the conclusion that it was not my ISP’s issue but that my computer was at fault. Two problems – DSL and a slow computer.

What made this decision more difficult was that I seemed to have more problems when it had rained and the ground was very wet. My DSL cable comes into the property underground. And it never seemed to fail that after a big rain our service was out completely or very slow. What I found was that this issue only made my situation worse, but was not the ultimate culprit.

The Internet Service Provider decided that they did have a problem and corrected it. I think it was at a “box” out by the road that was not water proof as it should have been and was in fact holding water after a hard rain. Now cables get wet of course all the time but, if I understand it right, the water became a conductor to a small extent between lines at the connection box.

But as I said this was only the problem when things were wet and I was having issues during dry spells – and we had certainly had a lot of very dry weather. It became obvious that my computer was not performing up to what it should be. One way of knowing this was that an other computer in the house, although older and less capacity, was doing OK.

After trying a new computer virus program and even a new mal-ware program and that not helping very much, I turned to the windows registry in my slow computer. The registry cleaner found over eight-hundred errors and corrected them.

Honestly, I still had a little issue with slow start-up (that I later corrected) but the registry cleaning really helped. I would certainly recommend it to anyone.

Hope this helps.

We recommend
PC Cleaner for a great job of registry optimization.
