Best Way TO Improve or Fix PC Speed with Less Registry Errors

[beanodino1]

I run  disk scan, disk fragmenter, delete my Tempory files, added correct maxed memory sdram, main drive {only} is at 2.1GB possible max 4GB but the 98' dell Dimension L400c desktop gets slower day to night!  I have heard there are some performance PC download tools that might could HELP or is it just a farce?  I have seen Reg cure  to some measure to be the best, most  program is the best!  WHATs OR WHERE THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON CLEANING, FIXING, IMPROVING MY PC WITHOUT HAVING TO SPENDING AN ARM & LEG!?  THANKS!

Please provide more information - what processor, what size hard drive and how much free space, how much memory, what operating system? Is this a new problem? Have you made any hardware changes or installed any programs?

I wouldn't trust any software that say they can improve computer speed.
Also, I don't think there is a Registry fix to make the computer faster.

Are you running Windows 98?  I suggest you at least get CCleaner.  See Carbon Dudeoxide's link for info on it. CCleaner is both a disk cleanup utility and a safe registry cleaner.

As I see it, with a registry cleaner, computer will run smoother with less error and that is enough to make it faster (if it's only just a feeling)

Most tests have demonstrated little or no performance improvement from registry cleaners. And, there are many. many case of computers rendered inoperable by the use of registry cleaners. The registry should be left alone for and by the vast majority of computer users. "Feeling" that the computer is faster is not a sufficient reward for the more likely case of de facto harm, imo.
