Would you like to know how to make PC run as good as new again? Well join the party, because you're not alone. So do countless millions of other Windows aficianados across the world. Fortunately for you there is a very simple solution.

Do you remember when you fired up your new system for the first time? Do you remember just how fast and how efficiently it ran? Can you remember how smooth each click of the mouse was? Remember how? Remember how fast Internet web phone: Clean buttons and display, latest technology.

However, over time, your PC's performance degraded. Internet websites would take a longer time to finish loading. The OS would take longer to load. Windows takes forever to power off. (And quite often even ignore your command to shut down!) Your mouse pointer would freeze up into the dreaded hourglass icon, even if there were nothing obvious on your PC that could conceivably be slowing your system to a grinding halt.

You have already searched your PC for viruses and spyware and it has turned up nothing. You have already cleared up some of your disk space, defragged your hard drive, and tweaked your virtual memory parameters. You have even tried to uninstall some programs on the hops that it might help improve the system's response time..

Alas, no matter what you do, your system seems to now have become "tainted".

So would you like to know what you ultimately must do to make your Windows system run as good as a new PC?

The solution lies in a critical part of the system referred to as the Windows system registry.

The registry is a database. It's the master DB which Windows leverages to save the configuration for literally every piece of software and hardware that has ever been loaded on or connected to your system. If anything were to happen to this database, it has a detrimental impact on your system's speed.

With the passage of time, the Windows registry database continues to get larger and larger, making queries against the registry even slower and slower. Also, over the course of time, it is inevitable that errors will start to creep into the database. These problems can cause programs to crash or to hang.

Optimizing and repairing the system registry database solves these problems, and thus eliminates the source of your machine's sluggish lack of responsiveness.

Searching your system registry database for errors with a registry repair utility is the easiest solution how to make Windows run like new.

Tuning the Windows registry is one of the least known aspects of maintaining the Windows system in optimal shape, to keep it processing at optimal performance. You always remember to take your car for a change of oil and a tune up on a routine basis, don't you? In a likewise manner, your Windows operating system needs to be tuned up frequently, to keep it running smoothly as well. Failure to do so over the course of time leads to serious performance deterioration of your computing experience: The Internet web browser will run slowly, pages taking too long to finish loading, the system will take what seems like an eternity to launch, the system may ignore your request to to shut off, applications might stop responding for several minutes at a time with no explanation, or may crash suddenly without prior warning, and your web browser will be plagued with pop-ups that keep on respawning no matter how hard you try to clean up your operating system.

The Windows registry is like your computer's "DNA". Each key / value pair is like one of the pairs of chromosomes on a DNA strand, that determines each of the operating system's behaviors. If any of the data bits in the registry were to get corrupted then it can destroy your entire operating system, in the same way that a single mutated chromosome can cause to the emergence of cancer.

And, to elaborate on the DNA analogy for all its worth, the ideal "cure for cancer" of your OS is to repair the Windows registry by using software to optimize , whose function is to "fight off" the problem registry entries by cleaning up the registry, optimizing it, and repairing any broken links contained therein.
