Dear Reader,

Is your computer overweight?

Many people look back with nostalgia at the first day they used
their brand-new computer. It worked like a charm. The boot process
only took about ten seconds. The Start menu and Windows dialogs
appeared instantly. However, after about a year of heavy use,
people often discover that their computer shows serious performance
degradation. The boot process takes longer and longer. All the
Windows dialogs also take longer to appear. The computer emits
prolonged grinding noises as if it were contemplating if it's worth
its while to carry out the task you requested.

The modern computer is an intricately-constructed system, much like
the human organism. If you consume large amounts of products from
questionable sources, you increase your fat intake, and quickly
become overweight. You can't run as fast as you used to. The
computer likewise slows down with time. Actually, there is no such
thing as a certified software product for computers. The software
"certificates" really only guarantee that the software product is
authentic and not that it is of high quality. There are no medical
organizations for computers which can certify that programs are
harmless. Even the large and reputable software companies can
produce software that is harmful to your system and that place
"fat" on your computer. So if even the large companies are guilty
of making your computer "fat", there's no telling the harm that
could be caused by software downloaded from the Internet from
dubious sources!

Computers, unlike humans, can be saved from their grim fate simply
by formatting the hard drive and reinstalling the operating system.
Though this is an option, it is far from ideal. Formatting the
disks will cause you to lose all the programs installed on the
computer, as well as preference settings and system integrity. But
what are the alternatives? Something analogous to a private doctor
for your computer, which can administer help without killing the
computer can be found in programs such as PC Doc Pro. This is a
complete remedy for your computer, and can be found at the
following link:

Scan your computer with PC Doc Pro

If we return to the body fat analogy, what should be considered as
excess fat for the computer system and how does it enter the
system? The computer's Registry is analogous to our blood system,
upon which all the other system parts (or organs) are dependant.
This unified database stores crucial system information, which all
the Windows applications poll from. There is, however, a
disadvantage in this system. Usually, users log into their systems
with full administrator privileges. These administrator privileges
are imperative in order to configure system and network settings,
as well as installing new software programs. This means that the
applications that are run on the computer also receive full
administrator privileges.

So each program you run can actually change virtually any section of the Windows Registry, such as the settings of other applications. These privileges are abused bycertain malicious scripts from the Web in order to change the Homepage or Search page of your Internet browser. As time goes by, the computer Registry can even be affected by normal applications from well-known vendors, which leave traces in the Registry, that can make your computer "overweight". This is also true when it come to uninstalling programs, as most software never uninstalls completely and removes all its components. Since most users are  unaware of this issue, they rarely complain about it, so program developers don't have to worry about doing a tidy job with the un-installation process. They are just oblivious to the issue.

If there are no complaints, then everything must be ok. However,
things are not quite ok. A year of heavy use will make your
Registry considerably overweight. The Registry takes up more space
and the access of the programs to the Registry becomes lengthy and
cumbersome. This is what slows down the performance of the
applications and increases the time it takes for them to start up.
Even more adverse to your system is the fact that some of the bits
and pieces left in the Registry refer to damaged or nonexistent
objects. For example, right-clicking a file in Windows Explorer
will cause a contextual menu to appear. Contextual means that the
menu displays actions which are specific to the type of file you
selected.

When a program is installed, sometimes its handlers are added to
the systems menus of Windows. For example, image viewer programs
will add handlers enabling you to open a file with that
program("Open with..."), archive programs will enable you to
manipulate files ("Send to..", "Compress with..."), printer drivers
have their own handlers, etc. If, in the process, Registry entries
will point to non-existing objects, Windows will search for these
entries all the time. Some sections of the Registry indicate to
Windows which programs to run during startup. You may not see them and so not be able to remove them manually, but Windows will try to load them every time it starts up.

What is the remedy? Start using PC Doc Pro. The program is easy to
understand and to use. Clic,k the "fix" button and two options will
appear. Begin with cleaning the Registry. The tool will fix the
problems mentioned earlier and more. It will check broken links,
device drivers, fonts, ActiveX components, analyze them and fix or
delete them if necessary. This will ensure your database is
unfragmented, compact, and that all links are correct, which will
improve your system performance.

Scan your computer with PC Doc Pro

However, the Registry is not the cause of all evils. A shortcut is
a special file type in Windows. The Desktop and Start menu are
mostly composed of shortcuts. When the Desktop is loading, or when
the Start menu is accessed, Windows will check the shortcuts and
look for the target they are referencing. If a shortcut has a
broken link, or if it's referencing an object which is no longer on
your system, then Windows will spend time looking for the object,
finding its icon, etc. PC Doc Pro's second option is to enable you
to scan and fix broken shortcuts on your system.

The "Clean" section of PC Doc Pro helps you clean all the junk
files which are left on your disks. Some applications leave
temporary files on the system instead of deleting them. PC Doc Pro
goes over the directories of temporary files and deletes the files
they contain, or it can search for temporary files on the computer
by scanning the files for certain extensions. Cleaning temporary
Internet files is recommended if you are worried about security,
because it deletes cookies such as autofill data, etc.

The "Optimize" section has some tools which are useful to improve
system performance and enable you to fine-tune hidden settings.
These settings are actually not available through standard Windows
dialog or from the Control Panel. For example, it's possible to
select if you want the Windows account to boot without your having
to input your password, or if you want Windows to display the login
screen with or without a password prompt. Some more advanced
features are available in the Uninstall and Startup Entries
Editors, which are otherwise not accessible using the standard
Windows configuration applets.

Another tool "Boost Windows" provides continuous monitoring of the
computer memory, eliminates unusable blocks and de-fragments
blocks, in order to enable quicker access. If you enable this tool,
it runs in the background and performs system memory optimization.
This tool also prioritizes the processor to give maximum priority
to the active window. This means that your computer won't pause a
movie you're watching in order to perform all kinds of background
tasks. As a rule, processor time is distributed equally between all
the active applications, but in order to enjoy multimedia
applications you will want to give these applications prioritized
access to the processor.

So is your computer too "fat"? Has it had it's fill of junk files,
irrelevant Registry values or broken shortcuts? If so, you can
provide the treatment!

Dear Reader,

Is your PC causing you untold stress?

Does the simplest task take an age to complete?

Do programs take forever to startup?

Is your PC constantly crashing, freezing or slowing down?

If the answer is yes to any of the above then it's time to take control and make a change, optimize your system and improve the performance of your PC!

The following fail-proof methods for improving your PC's performance will certainly bring you results you'll be extremely pleased with.

These 6 methods will definitely result in much better computer performance. Follow these instructions regularly and you'll.

Breathe new life into your PC.

1. Empty the Recycle Bin

Empty the Window's Recycle Bin regularly. This simple action frees up hard drive space and improves the your PC performance.

When you delete a file, Windows first transfers it to the Recycle
Bin, rather than deleting it totally, giving you the chance to restore the files on your computer, in case use change your minds.

For better performance, make sure you empty the Recycle Bin at
least once a week, or even daily if need be. Emptying the Recycle Bin is easy to do, simply right click the Recycle Bin icon on the desktop and choosing "Empty Recycle Bin" from the drop down menu.

2. Defragging your hard disk

When programs are stored on the PC hard disk, fragments of files
are saved in the empty spaces nearby.

When you wish to use a program your PC has to find these fragments and piece them together, this all takes time and slows down your PC's performance.

This can be easily solved by running the Windows program Disk
Defragmenter. This tool assembles all the fragments of these programs and places them back in the correct order.

Once this has been completed, the hard disk can find what it's looking
for easily, allowing files and programs to load more quickly.

To start the defragmentation process, click Start, All Programs,
Accessories, System Tools, then select Disk Defragment. Once the
program has started up, click Defragment.

The defrag can take well over an hour, which is why this usually isn't carried out too often.

For best results it's recommended to defragment the hard disk at least every couple of months.

3. Run Disk Clean Up

To improve your PC's performance, Window's comes with Disk Clean Up utility which can be used, this initiates regular maintenance tasks like deleting Setup log files, Temporary Internet files etc..

You can use Disk Clean Up by double-clicking My Computer, right
clicking the 'C drive and selecting Properties from the drop down
menu, then clicking Disk Cleanup. Your PC takes a few moments to conduct a self-analysis.

After the self-analysis, Windows displays a list of areas which contain files for cleanup. Simply putting a tick at the check box next to an area means Windows will clean the files there. You have the choice to leave files undeleted by simply removing the tick from the checkbox and click OK.

Your system will start the removal process - which could take a few minutes.

4. Empty the Prefetch Cache

To improve the time required for programs to load, Windows
attempts to guess which files will be needed next and then loads
them into a cache, a process known as prefetching. Though this
process works well, as time goes by, the Prefetch Cache may become
full with files which are no longer required. This causes a noticeable slow down in your Window's startup.

To optimize startup you can clear the Prefetch. This is done by choosing Run from the Start Menu, and typing "Prefetch" in the text box that appears.

This will result in a window filled with many icons. To select them all press Alt+A and delete them.

The cache will resume its regular use and gradually refill with files and links required by Windows. The result will be that your PC will be more responsive and your systems performance will improve.

5. Uninstall Unused Programs

Most people are quick to install new programs on their, however few remember to uninstall these programs once they are no longer required, leaving them unused on the hard disk.

Most programs have an uninstaller, and can be removed by going to
the program's entry, accessed from "All Programs" from the Start
Menu.

For programs that don't have an uninstaller, from the Start Menu,
go to the Control Panel and select Add/Remove Programs. It
takes a few seconds for the PC to compile a full list of all the
programs installed on your system.

Once this is completed simply find the program you want to remove, click it and select Change/Remove.

Since many programs leave uninstallation traces in the Windows
Registry, it's very important to clean up the Registry after each
uninstallation process - this will ensure optimum performance.

6. Clean up the Windows Registry

Most PC users don't realize the importance of cleaning up the
Windows Registry, mainly because Windows does not come with
a Registry clean-up tool.

While the Windows Registry is often forgotten about, it is probably:

The single most critical PC maintenance task.

Whenever you install a program, changes are made to the Windows
Registry, which is a large internal database that holds all the
Windows settings. These settings, which has thousands of
entries, controls how everything in your system appears and behaves.

Regularly installing and uninstalling programs , "Messy" uninstallation
of programs (traces are left behind), Hardware uninstalls which leave

entries in the Registry, Drivers which are no longer required ,
Spyware or other malicious programs that appear every time the

computer is booted up, may all cause Registry contentions and as
a result - Slow your PC's performance.

The Registry can be edited manually using Regedit, a Windows
program for editing the Registry; however this requires a
considerable amount of skill and experience to complete successfully.

Not all PC users have this.

PC Doc Pro is an auto Registry Cleaner, i.e. a program that scans
the Registry for all redundant files or invalid entries, locates all these entries, and then removes all the unnecessary stuff which is clogging up your system. After this is done (usually in a few minutes) all you need to do is to restart your computer to discover...

Wow! You've breathed life into your PC. It is runs

(well, almost...) like new!

How to increase more memory 

One of the key things to making any PC run faster is making sure it hasa sufficient amount of RAM installed. RAM allows the system more temporary space to load files, making it multi-task more efficiently.

Therefore, one of the best ways to speed up your PC is to add a stick or two of RAM to the motherboard.

Unfortunately, RAM can be expensive and should in no event be installed by anything less than an experienced computer tech.

But there is a way that any user can seemingly "increase" their system's RAM, and this is called "Virtual Memory". Virtual

Memory is the process used by Windows to create a file on thehard-drive which can be used to read/write data much like normal

RAM does. So, basically, it uses a chunk of your hard-drive to act as a stick of RAM.

------------------------------------------------------------------

How many times have you almost punched your Computer Screen, because some program wouldn't do what you WANT it to do?

Virtual Memory is the process used by Windows to create a file on the hard-drive which can be used to read/write data much like normal RAM does. So, basically, it uses a chunk of your hard-drive to act as a stick of RAM.

Step 1: The first thing we need to find out is how much physical RAM you already have, to make the best use of the Virtual Memory feature. We need to open up the "System Properties" window, which will display some quick info regarding our RAM. Hold the Start key and press the Pause/Break key to open this window.

Step 2: At the bottom of the text, we can see it says "384 MB of RAM"

(it will likely be different on your PC. Remember that number, and let's go to the Virtual Memory settings. Click the "Advanced" tab.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 3: Now, under the "Performance" heading, select the "Settings"

button.

Step 4: And select the "Advanced" tab on the "Performance Options"

window.

Step 5: At the bottom of this pane, you see the Virtual Memory status.

Right now, it's been set at only 192 MB. This is quite low, so to change it, select the "Change" button.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: Make sure "Custom size" is the selected option, and then change the "Initial size" and "Maximum size" numbers. What numbers should you use? The most widely recommended formula is to have 1.5 times the amount of physical RAM available for Virtual Memory. In the case of the screenshot below, since we have 384 MB of RAM, 384 x 1.5 = 576, so that is what has been entered. Also, to prevent fragmenting (which will slow down the system), set both the Initial and Maximum sizes to be equal. This creates a static-sized page file (Virtual Memory).

Now that you have your desired settings entered, hit "Set" to apply the changes.

And now you have customized your Virtual Memory settings. Close any open windows, and enjoy the enhanced performance!

Today I would like to share an insider's secret and present you with:

How to Jumpstart Your PC - Removing Startup Programs

Have you been finding that your computer takes longer to boot?
Does it run sluggishly in normal everyday tasks? Then you may
have to eliminate some memory-hungry but unnecessary programs that install themselves and run in the background.

Occasionally, you should check to see what is starting up with
your computer and eliminate any frivolous or harmful entries.

How do you remove these items? Most entries are embedded in the
Windows Registry, and if you eliminate them manually, you risk
damaging other critical parts of your computer. Fortunately,
there are some very handy utilities that allow you to view and
disable the different startup processes safely and quickly.

One such program that will be demonstrated is PC Doc Pro, a
nifty computer-maintenance package available from
http://www.pcdocpro.com. This tutorial will assume that you
have a working copy of the program installed and running on
your system.

If not, then download it from
http://www.pcdocpro.com/download.php

(Please save the program before installing it)

Step 1: Start the PC Doc Pro program by double-clicking the
icon on your Windows Desktop, or selecting the correct shortcut
in the Start Menu. Allow the software to load and get to the
main screen, as shown below.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: PC Doc Pro includes a Startup Manager program which can
be activated by clicking the "Advanced Options" button on the
white bar as shown, and then selecting "StartUp Optimiser".

Step 3: Now you will be presented with a list of programs
scheduled to run every time your computer boots. Many of these
won't be necessary, and can be disabled. To disable a startup
item, simply uncheck the white box next to its entry. In the
example below, I've decided to disable the Windows Messenger
(MSMGS) and QuickTime Task programs from automatically
starting.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: To finalize the settings, press the exit button at
the top-right corner of the PC Doc Pro window and close the
program. Then, reboot your PC and the extra programs should no
longer be visible or eating up memory.

If you're not sure what to do with any of the programs in your
list, then check out this website
(http://www.sysinfo.org/startuplist.php), which will try to
explain the function of almost any startup program you come
across and recommend either disabling or keeping its startup
entry.

Today I would like to share an insider's secret and present you
with: How to Stop Unnecessary Services

Do your games run just a little too slow? Maybe you could use
just a touch of extra speed. What you need to do is stop some
of the many background programs that aren't required for games.
Then, when you are done playing, re-start these programs to
allow Windows to run normally.

There are many tiny programs (called "services") that hide in
the shadows, eating away resources, and making your games run
sluggishly. Unfortunately, these programs are needed for
Windows to run, so we can't eliminate them permanently. But there
is no reason to not just stop them temporarily. What's the
easiest way to do this?

Step 1: The simplest way is to make a couple of batch files (a
mini-program that runs a series of DOS commands), one for
stopping the services, and another for re-starting them when
you're finished with the game. To begin, open up a Notepad
window by clicking the Start menu and selecting the "Run..."
command. Then, type in "notepad" (without the quotes) and
press enter.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 2: In the blank Notepad window, copy and paste in the
following fourteen lines of commands:

NET STOP "Cryptographic Services"

NET STOP "DHCP Client"

NET STOP "DNS Client"

NET STOP "Network Connections"

NET STOP "Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect Service"

NET STOP "Print Spooler"

NET STOP "Protected Storage"

NET STOP "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager"

NET STOP "Shell Hardware Detection

NET STOP "Symantec Event Manager"

NET STOP "Task Scheduler"

NET STOP "Themes"

NET STOP "Windows Management Instrumentation"

NET STOP "Windows Time"

Step 3: Select the File menu and select the Save item. At the
top of the Save As dialog, you will see the words "Save in:"
and a box to the right. Select the drop-down arrow on the
right side of the box, and select "Desktop" from the list of
options. In the "File name:" text box, type in "Stop
Services.bat" (WITH the quotes) and press the "Save" button.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4: You now have a file on your desktop called "Stop
Services" that will stop all the unnecessary services when ran.
Next, we need to make a batch file that will re-start the
services. To do this, repeat steps 1-3 using the fourteen
command lines below and the file name "Start Services.bat".

NET START "Cryptographic Services"

NET START "DHCP Client"

NET START "DNS Client"

NET START "Network Connections"

NET START "Norton AntiVirus Auto Protect Service"

NET START "Print Spooler"

NET START "Protected Storage"

NET START "Remote Access Auto Connection Manager"

NET START "Shell Hardware Detection

NET START "Symantec Event Manager"

NET START "Task Scheduler"

NET START "Themes"

NET START "Windows Management Instrumentation"

NET START "Windows Time" 

Step 5: Great! Now we are ready to test our batch files.
Locate the "Stop Services" file on your Windows Desktop, and
double-click. You should see a black window pop-up and
scroll some lines of text as it tries to stop the various
services. After a few seconds, the window should disappear.
Now you'd be ready to begin playing, hopefully with an added
boost of speed!

Depending on your system configuration, stopping certain
services will require you to stop other related services as
well. The batch file will confirm this, asking for your
permission. If this occurs (as shown below), type "y" (without
quotes) and press the Enter key.

Again, due to different configuration settings, when some
services (such as "Themes") are turned off, your desktop will
change appearance. This is normal, and your desktop will be
restored when you re-start the services.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 6: As soon as you have finished playing, you'll want to
select the "Start Services" program to allow Windows to
operate normally. Once more, a black window should appear,
scroll some text, and disappear after a few seconds.
