What can I do to make my computer run faster?

Answer by  Badymaru (119)

If you remove things from startup, your computer will have less programs running in the background which will make it speed up. To remove things from startup, click start, go to Run, and type in msconfig.exe. There you will find a list of programs that start up with your computer. Uncheck the ones that are unnecessary, and then restart.
