persona PC running very sluggish
Hey guys,
My personal PC is running very slow. Not many if any at all new programs installed but it gets worse and worse the longer it runs wihtout being rebooted. Once I reboot it runs great but after a day or two it starts to get very sluggish again.
Can anyone tell me whats causing this and how to fix it??

I agree with Jim-R, NEVER user Registry cleaners to fix a problem. They will almost certainly cause more problems. I would tend to agree also with garycase that there is a memory leak if it tends to slow predictably over time. Open msconfig.exe and click the Startup tab. Revove (uncheck) all but essential apps.
another way is simply to reboot daily (that's what i do) unless there's a reason not to?
