Slow Computers.

To speed up your computer you must first identify why the computer is slow. Your computer may be slow because of the following reasons:

1) Hardware problem.
2) Heavy Security.
3) Slow Applications.
4) Slow server.

1) If the computer is slow because of Hardware problem you can call H/w Engineer to fix it up.

2) Sometimes antivirus programs like McAfee takes lots of memory and your computer becomes slow because of low memory. Press Ctr+Alt+Del go to "Task Manager" and then go to "Processes" , here you can see which program is taking how much memory and CPU utilization. If any program is taking too much memory or CPU utilization you can "End" that process or 'Set lower priority' for that process.

3) The application program in which you are working may be slow or sometimes it takes lots of memory (games, etc.) - > increase your RAM / check software documentation for Hardware requirements.

4)If your application program is waiting for any server activity and the server itself is slow then naturally your application program will be slow and you may feel that your computer is slow. If you are using oracle application and your application is slow or sometimes hangs because your oracle server is slow, then you can try at least following on server–

"Press Ctr+Alt+Del go to "Task Manager" and then go to "Processes" tab, right click on oracle.exe and Set Priority – "High".
