Have you ever noticed that your computer is becoming slow without any course even though you have tries to scan it for spyware or viruses regularly? And do you want to optimize your computer and get faster computer speed. Here, some tips will tell you how to realize it easily.

If you do not have a fix IP (Internet Protocol) address, when booting up the computer, it will take some time for the system to automatically search and then get an assigned IP address, which will greatly affect the PC performance and computer speed. So please right click “My Network Places” to select “Properties” -> Local Area Connection -> Properties -> highlight “Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)” and then click “Properties” -> tick “Use the following IP address” and the fill in a fixed IP address. Hence, when starting up the computer the next time, it is possible for you to use the computer immediately rather than stay there without doing anything.

Secondly, please note that when booting up the computer, it will take some time for the system to detect whether there is a second hard disk existing, which slow down the computer at startup. If there is only one hard disk on your computer, you can cancel this action to get faster computer speed. Here is what you can do: right click “My Computer” to select “Properties” -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers -> Primary IDE Channel -> Advanced Settings -> locate “Current Transfer Mode” and then change it from “ Not Applicable” to “None”. You can follow the steps above to reset your “Secondary IDE Channel”.

Thirdly, when starting up the computer, there will be some entries running by default. It is possible for you to get faster startup speed by deleting some entries that do not need to automatically run at windows startup. It is very simple to follow the steps here: click Start -> Run -> type “msconfig” to access “System Configuration Utility” and then go to “Startup” to delete some unnecessary entries. Normally, you can uncheck all expect anti-virus programs and ctfmon (which has something to do with the input method icon. Once deleted, no input method icon will be shown). Hence, this will greatly optimize your PC and regain faster computer speed.

Apart the methods above, you can also go to My Computer -> Properties -> Advanced -> then uncheck all default settings within “Startup and Recovery”, and turn off system restore within “System Restore” to greatly free up more available system resources and speed up the computer.

Above are some settings that you can modify to optimize PC and get faster computer speed. But if there are too many programs or useless files on your C system drive, the computer will also become slow, too. So to optimize your computer, a removal of the unwanted programs and useless system junk files is needed. Besides, a periodical disk defragmentation is also a must in order to make the files on the hard disk store contiguously, and then shorten the time in inputting /outputting data.

Generally speaking, with the easy methods above, you can greatly optimize your computer in daily life. Please do not forget to take points above especially the one — run a disk defragmenter which is neglected by lots of PC users when trying to get faster computer speed.
