Common Causes of a Slow Vista Computer

Your registry is one of the most vital systems of your Vista computer. In fact, you could go as far as to say that it is the MOST vital system of your computer. This is due to the fact that without the registry, your PC would not be able to function correctly. Having said that, if your computer has a faulty Vista registry, don't expect it to be fast and efficient.

It's quite easy to find out whether or not your PC has a faulty Windows registry. The easiest way is to simply use Vista repair software in order to check and actually find out whether or not the registry is corrupted. However, if you don't have Vista repair software yet, the next best way is to check the computer and see if it is has the symptoms of a faulty Windows registry.

Below Are a Few of the Symptoms of a Dirty, Error Filled Registry:

• Random computer crashes -- No error messages, no blue screen of death, nothing; just a sudden reboot.

• "Blue screen of death" -- You will often get the Vista bluescreen of death numerous times during the day. Sometimes it happen during a specific action, other times it will happen for no apparent reason at all.

• Extremely slow start-up and shut down -- What once took only a few minutes (2-3), now takes a minimum of 10-20.

• Random errors -- You don't know what they mean or what they're referring to. All you know is that you keep getting them and they won't go away no matter what you do.

• Extremely slow reaction time -- The simplest of actions, which took milliseconds, now take 10-20 seconds to complete. This includes, but is not limited to: opening files, documents, folders, games, software, as well as opening your Internet browser.

• Failure to launch programs/applications -- Your favorite programs/application aren't just slow, they won't open or load at all. Sometimes they may even cause the computer to reboot instantaneously.

• Frequent stalling -- Several times during your session, the computer seems to freeze completely and then it suddenly returns to normal after a few seconds. A PC stall can last anywhere from 5 seconds to 10 seconds or more.

• No more installing or removing programs -- You can no longer properly install or uninstall programs/applications. Sometimes it's due to errors, sometimes it's not; whatever the reason may be, though, you simply can't add/remove programs any longer.

If any, or all, of these symptoms are plaguing your computer, there is a very strong chance that your PC has a faulty Windows registry. If that is indeed the case, you need to run Vista repair software as soon as humanly possible. If you don't, you're risking even further damage and PC instability. It is your choice as to whether or not you want to deal with a slow Vista computer any longer.
