So lets begin with looking at what was wrong with it. Well in the time I had owned my computer its performance had fallen of gradually but significantly. The computer now took a lot longer to boot up than it had done previously and program's were much slower to respond than before and frequently crashed with the message “program has stopped responding”.

 

I had of course thought about replacing the computer but this seemed to me like an expensive option epically as I was not trying to do anything which the computer had not been capable of in the past. So I began to search the Internet for a solution and I came across www.fix-this-computer.com a web site offering advice on getting the most out of your computer. I took a good look around the site and tried the virus checker and the spy ware checker. These scans didnt find anyhting but then i cam across the section of the web site about windows registry errors. I read the text in this section and the symptoms sounded just like mine so I decided I probably had registry errros. I visited the the link offering a free scan and was directed to a software site where I downloaded software that scanned my computer for registry errors. The program found an amazing 307 errors on my computer. I elected to purchase the software to fix these problems and upon purchasing a license was given a password to upgrade the software from the trial version. Once I had the software it was easy and the software was scanning my computer in minutes. It took about ten minutes to fix all the errors and since they were repaired the computer has ran like a treat.
