There are many steps to increase your processor speed or system performance.
This post is for those people who are having problem with Processor speed.
If you are using Microsoft Windows xp,then your processor speed may slow down.Why because Windows Xp carries extraordinary large list of unusual,visual sound effects,menu shadows,high resolution, quality color,fade effects and many.These features may slow down your Processor speed.
Firstly disable all the settings in Start up mode.
this can be done by following instructions:-
1)Go to “Run”.
2)type “msconfig” in run.
3)Go to Start up.
4)Disable all startup items except Antivirus.
Prefetch files:-
delete all prefetch files.
1)go to run.
2)type prefetch.
3)delete all files.
If you are not having any with work with resolution better you restart your system in Safe Mode.This can be done by continuously by clicking F8 key more than 5times as soon as restart your system. Then a page will open with many options.Choose “Safe Mode“.If you want to do any Networking then choose
“Safe Mode with Networking“.
These two options may remove all your display,resolution,bit size settings etc.But increase your system speed.
Visual effects:-
1)Right click on “My Computer” >Go to System proporties>Go to Advanced Settings
2)Then click on the Setting in Performance then choose the option”Adjust for best appearance”or you
can choose”custom”.
These options many decrease your system visual effects but increase your system performance.
Automatic updates:-
Even though your system is geniune better to turn off your Automatic updates.There are many reasons
which slow down your processor speed if you turn on Automatic updates.few reasons are:-
1)Most of your RAM speed is used by Xp Operating System.If the resources of your XP is increased then Operating
System may slow down.It indirectly effects the processor speed.
2)If your click on Live Up dates then there may be chances of Virus entering in your system.which leads your
processor speed slow.
Defragmentation:-
This is the major step which increases your Processor speed.
Steps to perform Defragmentation
1)Go to my computer.
2)Right click on C drive. Click on proporties.
3)Choose the option Defragment now.
Removing virus:-
Virus such as Trojan,vorm.exe,sass.exe etc which slow down your processor speed.So download any good antivirus software such as Norton,Spyware terminator,Kaspersky etc.I would perfer Kaspersky it is a best antivirus software.Norton may slow down your system performance.

Uninstall unused programs:
Software programs occupy a tremendous amount of space on your hard disk. This in turn reduces computer speed. Always uninstall the programs you don’t use.
You can use “clean up” software to uninstall unwanted software automatically or manually do this by going to the “add or remove” option in the Control Panel (for Windows users only).
If you’re on a Mac, go to your Applications folder and simply drag-and-drop the unwanted software icons in the Trash Bin. Empty the Trash Bin from time to time.
Check your hardware:
Make sure you have compatible hardware for a particular Operating System. Different operating systems like Mac OS and Windows ask for a specific computer configuration. Failure to meet the requirements generally results in inefficient performance.
Processor, Random Access Memory (RAM), graphic card and hard disk space are a few basic hardware requirements. Secondary hardware requiremensts, like a higher screen resolution, also play a vital role in video playback. Upgrading the processor increases the speed more than any other single element. A hard drive with a faster RPM speed is an easy way to make a drastic difference as well.
Delete Temporary Internet Files:
When we browse the Internet, sites install small tracking files on our browser. Most of them are harmless. Some can be malicious, but the bigger concern is that over time, they take up a good bit of space, and this slows things down.
Go through your browser settings and delete cache and cookies. This can work wonders at times.
Clean Up Mac or Clean Up PC software can do this, and much more, with a few clicks. These programs are highly recommended if you want to stay on top of all the things mentioned in this article.
Defragmentation:
The operating system stores files on the hard drive where there is vacant space. All the files belonging to a particular program may not be placed on the same drive. Defragmentation software reorganizes the disk to ensure that all the files are allocated on the same disk. This facilitates faster and smoother running of the applications, reducing pressure on the processor and random access memory.
Before running this, make sure that all programs are closed and that the hard drive is healthy. Also make sure that there is constant power supply during the defragmentation process. Power failure might crash the hard drive or corrupt the operating system.
