Is Your Computer Running Slow Because of Unneeded Applications That Use Your PCs Memory Up?

By Kim Wilmont

It is tough to meet important deadlines when our personal computer may not stay up with our chaotic work tempo. And our awareness has increased today with more home based businesses or just higher everyday demands for our home computers. Also it is truly annoying when they are so sluggish they very nearly die whenever we apply some data intensive programs requiring a lot of memory capacity or RAM.

There can be many reasons for a computer running slow problem. And it's in recognizing these causes that we may find real solutions - even the simple fixes we may do ourselves. Of course not having to spend money is very important to us all.

Also the new personal computer can be performing below normal, particularly when the manufacturer of your PC installed some unneeded applications before your buying it. What you may want to check out is to start up your computer and look at the notification part of the lower task-bar (this would typically be in the bottom right corner, but depends on how you have your task-bars arranged). There are probably some icons concealed in the task-bar that actually runs in the background when you are doing your work. This means that it may well eat up some of the free memory from your computer, making it perform much slower as multiple programs are running.

To be sure, right-click on top of the task-bar and also then pick "task manager" and the Windows Task Manager will pop-up. You can also get into this by mashing the shortcut "control-alt-delete" when the computer is running but be careful and simply depress the shortcut key just once or your computer will restart itself. Now you should be able to see just how many applications operate in the background (this includes the number of memory resources they utilize). Also, merely shut down unneeded programs by highlighting the single program and then clicking End Task.

And of course there are additional causes for a computer running slow but doing these things will most certainly help your Computer perform quicker than before. - 30432
