Faster PC

It is common knowledge that new computers are fast and very responsive.  Unfortunately, it is also true that after 6 – 12 months (depending how often you use your PC) these same computers start to lose speed and we notice considerable slow down.  It takes longer time to boot up Windows and it takes longer time to start applications (i.e. games, IMs, programs, …).  By fixing and optimizing registry, you will bring back your system to the original almost-good-as-new state.  With optimized registry system your computer’s performance will improve significantly.

When you buy purchase a new PC one of the first things you notice is how fast it is compared to your old machine. In fact, one of the main reasons people buy a new computer is because their old pc is too slow. And it can be that just after a few months of owning this brand new PC you realize that even this new computer begins to lose some of its speed. The question is why does your computer gradually slow down?

How Registry Impacts Computer’s Performance

Each time you install and uninstall applications and devices, your registry is updated – more specifically, the entry (or entries) for corresponding file is modified. In some cases, even after uninstalling the application the registry references will not be removed – in effect creating a dead-end path that computer still checks even though there is no application behind it. This can also refer to start up programs. A registry reference will instruct your PC to load the application even though this same app was removed from your system a long time ago. Computer always checks and executes on instructions provided by registry, even when this registry is incorrect or corrupted.

 The direct consequence of non-optimized registry is a general computer slow-down. Your PC slows down not because it is old but because its registry becomes inefficient. Just by fixing the registry references you will see a noticeable improvement. The process of cleaning and repairing registry is simple.  The registry needs to be “cleaned” of registry values that are no longer required or that have become obsolete.  For example, if you delete a program from your hard drive, you also need to delete registry values that correspond to this program.  Many times the process of un-installation will remove these registry values automatically, but it also happens that these values remain in the registry – negatively affecting your computer’s performance and speed. Process of repairing the registry refers to invalid entries and values that have somehow become corrupted.  By repairing these keys and paths, you will get less errors and less chance of your computer crashing.

Manual vs. Automatic Registry Optimization

You may choose to repair and clean registry yourself.  All Windows systems come equipped with Registry editor program.  Using this application you get a complete view of the registry as well as ability to modify registry values.   Going through the entire registry is a tedious and time-consuming process since registry contains hundreds sometimes even a thousands of entries.  You also have to be careful not to delete or modify valid entries.

A great alternative to manual registry editing is a registry cleaner application.  It is a quick and efficient way to optimize your computer.  Some registry cleaners also allow you to get a free registry scan before deciding to spend money for a complete registry fix. With registry cleaners there is also less chance that you will lose a valid registry entry.
