Everyone wants the computer to boot into the Windows system without waiting, or the system will not slow down when it is used. Microsoft also tries to solve the problem that plagues most users: the longer the PC, the slower the PC runs. . However, for a variety of reasons, these desires are often not realized, and even when they are turned on, they are dead or often slower to use. This tutorial will analyze the reasons why the system slows down from three aspects: software, hardware and viruses. Let's take a look at it.
1. Software articles
1. Set virtual memory
One hard disk Very popular data exchange file, it is the place reserved by the system for virtual memory, many applications are often used, so the system needs to make a lot of data access to the main memory, so access this file The speed of the game constitutes a very important factor affecting the speed of the computer! Generally, Windows presets the virtual memory by the system itself. It automatically adjusts the size of the exchange file according to the needs of different programs, but this size will be reduced to the system. Bringing an extra burden and slowing down the system! In view of this, users should customize the minimum and maximum values of virtual memory to avoid frequent changes. To set the virtual memory, right click on "My Computer" and select "Properties", in the "Advanced" option in the "Advanced" option, "Virtual Memory". Make settings.
2, check application software or drivers
Some programs slow down the system when the computer system starts. If it is for this reason, we can start from “safe mode”. Because this is the original launch, "safe mode" is running slower than normal. However, if you use “Safe Mode to start and find that the computer starts faster than normal startup, then a program may be the cause of slower system startup.
3, too many desktop icons will cause trouble
There are too many icons on the desktop will also reduce the system startup speed. Every time Windows starts and displays the desktop, you need to find the icons of the desktop shortcuts one by one and load them. The more icons, the more time it takes. At the same time, some anti-virus software provides the system startup scan function, which will take a lot of time. In fact, if you have already opened the real-time monitoring function of the anti-virus software, then the scanning system will be redundant when booting, or disable this function. It is recommended that you put the less commonly used desktop icons in a special folder or simply delete them!
4, ADSL causes the system to start slowing down
By default, Windows XP will start with network devices such as network cards. Perform a self-test. If you find that the IP address of the network card is not configured, it will be set. This may be the real reason for the system to slow down. At this time, we can open the “Local Area Connection” property menu and double-click the “Internet Protocol” option in the “General” menu to open the “TCP/IP Properties” menu. Configure the IP address of the NIC as a value that is not used in the public network (the default gateway is 192.168.1.1), such as 192.168.1.X. X takes a value between 2 and 255. The subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, default gateway and DNS default settings.
5, the impact of fonts on speed
Although Microsoft claims that the Windows operating system can install 1000 to 1500 fonts, but in fact, when you install more than 500 fonts, there will be problems, such as: fonts from the application The list of fonts disappeared and the startup speed of Windows dropped dramatically. It is recommended that you delete the fonts that are not used or are not commonly used. To avoid accidents after deletion, you can make the necessary backups first.
6, delete the random start program
What is the random start program? Random start program is the program loaded at boot. Random start program not only slows down the speed of booting, but also consumes computer resources and memory faster. Generally speaking, if you want to delete the random start program, you can go to the "Startup" list to delete, but if you want to be more detailed, for example Software such as QQ and popkiller cannot be deleted in the “Startup” list. Go to “Subsidiary Application” and go to “System Tools” and go to “System Information”. After entering, press the “Tools” button in the upper toolbar, and then press “System Configuration Editing Program”. After entering, in the “Startup” dialog box, it will be listed in detail when loading the computer. The random startup program! XP system can also be used in the "running" is to enter the Msconfig call "system configuration utility" to terminate the system random start program, 2000 system needs to copy the msconfig program from XP.
