How can a make your super slow laptop Toshiba computer quick and fast?

Answer 1

Try installing a different operating system for it based on ur PC specs (and vista can slow some pcs down) try Linux distros or an older version of Windows.

Another answer:

If you take off your startup programs, it may help. On Windows XP go to the start button, run and type in msconfig. At the top of the window there are tabs choose the tab that says start-up. Uncheck what you want. Unchecking everything will not harm your computer. Click apply then ok. It will tell you to reboot your computer when it reboots a window will appear that states "You are using selective start-up" there is a box in the middle of the window that says "Do not show this message again" click that.

More input:

Sometimes the real reason why a computer dramatically slows down is because its hard drive begins to die. Buy a new disk, clone your old one onto it, and enjoy your "new" laptop again. If you are upgrading, you might as well upgrade to a 7200RPM disk. The laptop will be faster than new. However, if it doesn't seem faster after changing the hard drive, it could be because Windows has defaulted to PIO mode instead of UDMA mode. You'd need a utility to delete that registry entry which is slowing down your PC.

Answer 3

Check how much RAM your computer has. Is it measured in gigabytes (GB), or megabytes? (MB) Gigabytes are larger than megabytes, and the more you have the better. Also, check your processing speed. Is measured in GB or MB? If your computer is PC, then I advise you to look at this site. http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/10-quick-fixes-to-make-your-windows-computer-faster/
