The reason why Windows 7 runs slowly is not because you have too many programs installed or your hardware is slow. Windows 7 is a very robust system and was designed to be "light weight", in that it can run on very old / slow computers. The problem with this system is actually an issue which has been a problem since Windows '98 – the "registry". This is a database which stores settings for your computer and is constantly being damaged and corrupted, making your PC run slow.

The registry causes Windows 7 the most problems, and is why most systems running this OS are not able to run fast. The problem is that since the 'registry' is used constantly by your computer to remember everything from your latest emails and your desktop background, many registry settings are actually being damaged and corrupted on your system. Every time you use your PC, 100's of registry settings are used and because so many are open at once, Windows gets confused and saves a lot of them in the wrong way, which causes your PC to be unable to process the settings it needs when you next use your PC.

The problem of corrupt registry settings may not seem like a big issue, but it's the main reason why Windows 7 runs slow. Have you ever noticed how new PC's run really fast? It's because they do not have any damaged or damaged settings inside, allowing them to read all the settings that need instantly, allowing them to run extremely quickly. The hidden trick that many Windows 7 PC users can use to make their PCs run faster is to clean up all the damaged or corrupted registry settings that are causing your computer to run slowly.

To fix your PC and make it run like it did when it was new, you can use a 'registry cleaner' tool to fix any of the damaged registry settings that are making your system run slow. These programs are designed to scan through your computer and allow it to fix any of the damaged or corrupted files that are inside your PC, and can create the conditions needed to help Windows 7 run like it did when it was new. To use this trick, you basically need to download a registry repair program from the Internet and then let it scan your Windows 7 system. It will fix any damaged registry settings and make your PC run like new again.
