Cool Tool To Speed Up Your PC..Worked for Me!

By
Real Estate Agent with Wilkinson & Associates, Wilmington NC

Are you feeling like your PC has lead feet? Tired of waiting for your click throughs to click through? 

The 4 month old Desktop PC which I purchased after my last one crashed was running so slow and freezing up a lot.. At first I thought it might be Vista, or IE.  I switched to Firefox to see if that helped..nothing. I was so frustrated!

I put up with this until I was ready to pull my hair out, then we took it back to Best Buy for a "tuneup" which they performed for free. They removed some startup programs which I did not need and who knows what else. There was some improvement but it still seemed way too draggy for me!

I looked into what I might be able to do to get it up to "speed". I was thinking of posting to AR to ask, and then I came across what looked like it could be the answer to my problem.

 RegCure Registry Cleaner

 When it went into do its thing it found 900 plus errors that it cleaned up! Now My PC is off to the races. button

Check it out.... You can get a FREE SCAN

 Click the Button and if you like it, its 29.95 a year..

Hope it moves you! LOL!

Julie, I'll bet that was a lot easier then reformatting which is what we usually end up doing.  I had a reformat just a few weeks ago.  It is always so hard to get everything back on.

My laptop is also running slow, I suspect time for a cleanup.  Where is that son-in-law when I need him.  I will show this to him, thanks.

Ginger, Luck you!!  That is when you take everything off your computer, back to factory settings and then put everything back on.  We end up doing it once or twice a year on my computer.  I should have bought a MAC (lol).

How safe is it?  I've heard horror stories of registry cleaners that screwed up the OS & other programs.  Did such a great job of cleaning the registry, the computer didn't work anymore!

What do you do with all of the files that are in error?  I'm always afraid to get rid of anything.

I personally use Registry Cleaner for the same price! Works great. Also try CCleaner.com might help do the same thing for free.  The "c" is actually for "crap" - I guess they wanted to clean up their marketing act!

Thanks.

I'm curious, after you ran the free scan did it find many errors?  It found over 850 on my laptop.  When you paid the 29.95 and removed the errors did it affect any of your programs or files negatively?  I'm a little wary of losing valuable info.

Glad to see you sped up the computer and aren't living and breathing Activerain.  It's nice to enjoy life every once in a while.
