Christian — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 09:15:32 +0000

Sudden slow down, blue screen of death, programs not responding – these are just some of the most common PC problems that we encounter everyday and most people think that the only way to fix these errors is to wipe the disk clean and re-install Windows. But actually, there’s a better and easier way to fix these problems without the need to re-format your PC or call your computer technician! Do the repairing yourself with the all new TuneUp Utilities 2012 (we got some free license keys to be given away at the end of the post).

TuneUp Utilities 2012 – repair, optimize, and tweak your PC for better performance

TuneUp Utilities is one of the most popular and leading Windows system optimization and tweaking programs available in the market today. I’ve been using it for a few years already and for me, it’s the best “Computer Technician” ever since it helps me fix common PC errors in just a few clicks.

And with the release of its latest version, it just keeps getting better and better and I’m so glad that they’ve added two awesome features that takes PC optimization to the next level.

TuneUp Utilities 2012 – favorite features and what’s new?

TuneUp Utilities is an all-in-one PC optimization tool wherein everything you need to repair, optimize or tweak your PC is here. Here are just some of my most favorite functions of TuneUp Utilities:

TuneUp Uninstall Manager

TuneUp Utilities has its own uninstaller that helps you identify those programs that are rarely used or you never used at all.

Turbo Mode

Turbo Mode is a great feature of TuneUp Utilities that helps you boost PC performance in just one click by shutting down non-essential Windows services that run on the background. You can use the Turbo Mode wizard to choose which services you need and which are simply wasting precious resources.

TuneUp Live Optimization

Live Optimization lets you get full speed, high responsiveness, and zero loading times whether your PC is busy or not. It works silently in the background and improves the prioritization process of all running applications.

TuneUp Styler

TuneUp Styler lets you improve the look and feel of Windows. You can use it to replace all the visual elements on your PC easily, safely, and exactly the way you want them.

1-Click and Automatic Maintenance

This is my most used feature of TuneUp Utilities. Every time I notice that my PC is running slow, I’ll launch 1-Click Maintenance and it will automatically fix everything for me. It will clean and defragment registry (if needed), remove broken shortcuts, delete temporary files, optimize startup/shutdown, and defragment hard disk – all of these in just one click of a button!

And here are the two new notable features of TuneUp Utilities 2012:

TuneUp Economy Mode

Does your laptop battery dies quickly than before? TuneUp Economy Mode helps you end this problem by reducing your processors’ performance and switching off unnecessary background processes that slow down PC performance. It improves battery life on your laptop and helps you save money by drastically reducing its energy consumption.

TuneUp Program Deactivator (Fully Automatic)

TuneUp Program Deactivator eliminates unnecessary slowdowns and makes sure your PC always operates at its peak performance. It automatically deactivates programs that you don’t really need to free up system resources.

How To Speed Up And Optimize Windows XP For Better Performance

Christian — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 04:04:49 +0000

Are you tired of using your very slow PC? You already tried different ways to speed it up yet nothing worked?

On my previous posts, I already showed you the different ways to speed up and optimize your Windows XP and here’s the compilation of those steps:

1. Disable Extra Startup Programs

There are certain programs that Window will start every time you boot up your system, and during the startup stage, they’re all competing for a slice of your CPU speed. Extra or unwanted items in the startup list will definitely increase your startup time.

2. Download A Good Anti-Virus

Are you worried that your PC may not be fully protected by your anti-virus? Do you spend a lot of money for an anti-virus that you thought will protect your PC from any viruses or spyware?
We know that every PC needs a good anti-virus to prevent viruses, spyware, and other malicious software from attacking it.

3. Detect, Destroy, And Prevent Malware

Malware is really scary once it enters our PC. Even some of the most popular and expensive Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware can’t detect and remove this. And do you know that by just visiting some websites, your PC can already get infected by Malware.

4. Defrag Your PC

Is your computer running slow? Do you know that there are many ways to speed up your PC again and one of the easiest ways is to defrag your computer.

Defrag your PC using Smart Defrag or Auslogics Disk Defrag Screen Saver

5. Optimize Display Settings

Windows XP looks really cool but displaying all the visual items is not recommended and it just waste system resources. By turning off other display settings, it can really increase the performance of your PC.

6. Speed Up File Browsing

You may be experiencing a slight delay when you’re opening “My Computer” or “My Documents” to browse folders. This is because Windows XP automatically searches for network files and printers every time you open Windows Explorer. And what we have to do now is to fix this to increase browsing speed significantly!

7. Remove Unused Programs Completely

One of the most effective ways of speeding up your PC is to uninstall all the unnecessary or unused programs on your computer. Windows has a built in uninstaller called “Add or Remove Programs” that you can find in Control Panel. But actually, there is a better way to remove/uninstall those unnecessary programs on your PC.

8. Fix And Clean Your Windows System Registry

System Registry is one of the most sensitive and important part of a Windows-based computer system. The registry is a system-defined database used by the Windows operating system to store configuration information. Most Windows applications write data to the registry during installation, and system components store and retrieve configuration data through the registry.

9. Run Disk Cleanup

If you surf the web a lot, your temporary internet files folder can become quite large, causing your web browser to slow down or malfunction. To prevent this from happening, you have to run disk cleanup at least once a month.

10. Disable File Indexing

Indexing Services is just a small program that uses large amounts of memory and can often make a computer endlessly loud and noisy. This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer.
