How can I make my computer faster?

computer is slow. tried defragmenting but it won't help. what can I do to make it run faster and quicker?

Sometimes a 'hard to detect' virus sneaks in - sometimes the programs on your computer are duplicating or counter-acting each others functions - cache built up too much - registry filled with unecessary functions - a multitude of things....your best bet have it diagnosed by a competent Computer expert.....Good Luck !!

what are your sepcs? that always helps. but RAM is a large issue. (depends what you use it fof though)

u probably don't have enough memory to run a lot of programs anymore. I'm not a comp expert but my computer is doing the same thing and I know that mine is doing it because I need more memory so in the middle of trying to download something my comp freezes up and I have to start all over and it tell me that my memory is full. I need to upgrade.

go to start>run>dxdiag>save it... it should make a .txt file... copy and paste it here so I can analyze it (it doesnt give me information on how to hack you or anything it just tells me about your hardware information)

oh yeah... add more RAM, install another hard drive, uninstall/delete stuff you dont use
