For some days my computer is working very slowly , can any tell me tips to regain the original speed , I am using Windows XP SP-3 .

You forgot to mention the Processor's speed, RAM etc. Hardware is the main reason for a slow computer 99% of the time. Upgrade!

I disagree.
This is the cry of a windows user...UPGRADE, UPGRADE, UPGRADE. If your PC was running fast and now is running slower when you have not done anything to it, the most likely cause is Malware/Spyware/Viruses.
Start by getting SpybotSND v1.6 from here:
download all the updates, immunize your system and run a scan two times. This is not the only answer for spyware but it is a big part of the answer most of the time.

Let us know how the system is working after you try this out

The Most Importent thing is RAM.
its cheep and with the cost of 30-20$ you can make your computer be x3 faster.

buy 2 Sticks of 1gb or 1 stick of 2 gb and see the changes.

Also try to format your computer every while.

For a Safer, faster XP Close Unwanted Services, you have to disable unneeded startup services for a safer, faster XP, use the "Services" Admin Tool (Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services). If you are a single user of a non-networked machine, you can disable the following items, with no ill effect.

Alerter
Clipbook
Computer Browser
Fast User Switching
Human Interface Access Devices
Indexing Service (Slows the hard drive down)
Messenger
Net Logon (unnecessary unless networked on a Domain)
Netmeeting Remote Desktop Sharing (disabled for extra security)
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager (disabled for extra security)
Remote Procedure Call Locator
Remote Registry (disabled for extra security)
Routing & Remote Access (disabled for extra security)
SSDP Discovery Service (this is for the utterly pointless "Universal P'n'P", & leaves TCP Port 5000 wide open)
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Telnet (disabled for extra security)
Upload Manager
Workstation

Please note that this should be done when you are non-networked user...

To measure your internet speed and it sheds some light on all the different factors that affect your internet performance. I propose a host of possible remedies that are easy to apply.

1. Virus Scan Program - The most essential thing to have is a virus scan that is run weekly. Most new computers come with a virus scan already installed. If the computer you are using doesn't have a virus scan there are free scans available online, but one really should be installed on your computer if you spend any time at all online. Spend the time learning how to use your virus scanner. Find out how it's updated - most update automatically - and use the options to set it up to run automatically at a set time every week. Most computer problems can be prevented just by having a virus scanner installed.




2. Run the Scandisk program - At least every two months you should run a program called Scandisk. It is automatically on your computer. Scandisk actually scans your files and even your hard drive and can let you know of any problems it discovers.
To run Scandisk, first make sure everything running in the background on your PC is turned off. To do this press "Ctrl-Alt-Delete" and your close program box will appear.

Highlight each item EXCEPT "explorer" and "systray". Click on "End Task" to close the program.

Then go to your start button and choose "Programs". Choose "Accessories" at the top of the list. Move your cursor down to "System Tools" and Choose "Scandisk".

A box will appear giving your choices of what you want your computer to scan. You can have it scan your files only or your entire hard drive. Scanning your hard drive will take longer.




3. Run the Defragmenter program - Another program that you should run about every two months is called Disk Defragmenter. Defrag will arrange your files better so your PC can access them faster. It's best to run this program after the Scandisk program is finished.

To run Disk Defragmenter go back to the "System Tools" and choose "Disk Defragmenter". It's best to run this program overnight as it takes a long time.

You should not be using these programs while using other programs on your computer. If the Scandisk or Defrag program keeps starting over you may need to run the programs in Safe Mode, a special diagnostic mode. Read the manual for your PC to find out how to put your PC into Safe Mode.




4. Use a Firewall program - For anyone on a DSL or cable connection a personal firewall keeps viruses, hijackers and hackers from your computer. Since you are constantly connected to the internet by using these connections there is a constant threat that others may try to access your computer. There are free firewall programs available for download.




5. Run a Spyware program - Anyother important program is a spyware search program. When you download something from the internet sometimes other software is included. This software is called "spyware" and it can do many things to harm your computer, including letting someone from another website see what websites you surf in order to send you advertising. Other spyware tries to steal your passwords or other personal information. You should run a spyware checker at least once a month or at any time you are experiencing problems with your connection or computer speed.




6. Run a hi-jacker search program - Another important program to have is a hi-jacker search program. A hi-jacker changes your homepage to a different search engine page and can also block links to common search pages. They are trying to force you to use their homepage. Some of the hi-jacker's homepages are not pages you would like your children to see. You should use a hi-jacker search program at least once a month or whenever you are having a problem with your homepage.




7. Clear your temporary files - Sometimes your PC's virtual memory will become full. When this happens your computer may run slow. In order to erase this memory you need to do the following steps:

Open your internet browser. Go to "Tools", "Internet Options".

A box will pop open. It should be open to the "General" tab.

In the center of the box is a section marked "Temporary Internet Files".

Click on "Delete Cookies" and "Delete Files" one at a time. This will delete the temporary files that are clogging the PC's memory.




8. Change your history options - Another way to clean out your computer's memory is to change how many days it saves visited pages. You will find a "history" box in your internet options. It asks how many days you wish to keep pages in history. This is the part of the computer that saves all pages you've visited for as many days as you wish. By saving these pages for a smaller number of days you can clear up more of your PC's memory.




9. Clean out old files - Periodically going through the files in My Documents or other folders you have set up and deleting or archiving them on a CD can also help your computer's memory and performance. Do you really need to keep a saved copy of last semester's English term paper? If not, delete it. You can also go through the programs on your PC from the control panel and delete those you no longer use. Don't delete any of the shared files, though, if it asks, because that can cause more problems.




10. Reboot the PC occasionally - The last thing that is very important to do but seems simple is just to turn your computer off periodically. Your PC needs to be restarted in order to reset itself after new programs or equipment is installed. It also erases the virtual memory from the last session and goes through a self-diagnostic to look for any problems. It sounds like a simple solution, but most problems can be fixed simply by restarting your PC.




Troubleshooting your PC's problems doesn't have to cost a lot of money or require technical expertise. By using just a few software programs and common sense most problems can be stopped and you will find that your PC has better performance and reliability.




I hope it work for you : )

If your virus/spyware free, there are a couple things you can do get your computer working faster. If you using your computer for normal stuff and not gaming. You don't always need more RAM you just need to perform a few maintenance task

Clear your Windows cache files, this is your temporary file. It can grow up to a large volume and stop your computer from using RAM properly. In a sense slow it down by preventing it from using free space.

this will help u....

thanks...

You should try to uninstall programs in control panel that you are no longer using. You can also get spybot which is a free adware remover program.

There are many things involve in to speed up computer. Hard disk's partition tables can become fragmented since saving files, creating new ones and deleting the old, as well as moving files and folders can leave fragments of information on their original locations. These actions can slow down your computer because the system will have to look for them each time you access them again.

You can do following things is your PC is really running slow.
Free up disk space by Disk Cleanup tool

One of the most points that is accountable for making a PC slowly is the register of your PC. Many PC customers are unacquainted with this reality. Computer personal computer windows registry, which is known as the leader of a computer, is the middle data source that is located at the middle of Windows.

I have some suggestion for you
1) Disable unnecessary start up programs and services.
2) Install any utility software.
3) Go to my computer >> Tools >> Folder option >> view >> uncheck automatically scan for hardware and network then press ok.
4) Install any free version of antivirus not ****ked and after trial period uninstall and reinstall it again.
