We recently received a question on this blog regarding what could be done to speed up Windows 2000 or Windows XP computers (view question). So we have put together a quick list of a few things you could consider.

  1. You could increase the RAM of the machine, if it is possible to do.
  2. You could do a disk cleanup. To run XP you should have around 25% free disk space. If you do not have enough then doing a disk clean up could improve the speed of your machine. Click here for instructions.
  3. You could ask your IT supplier for a tune up. If you are a LANcom 770 client all you need to do is let us know that your computer is running slow and we will look into this for you.
  4. Finally you need to consider whether or not your computer needs replacing. Generally speaking the useful lifetime of a computer is 3-4 years. If your computer is older than 4 years and is running slowly you should start to look toward replacing it.
