This computer used to be pretty fast but it seems to have gotten gradually a little slower. I don't understand why and would like to speed it back up.

On the lower right by the clock are the programs that run automatically on start up......
They can also be memory hogs...not hard drive memory but resident memory.
Run your mouse over them...If you aren't using them...right click and say not to run at start up..
But If I'm not using..I usually uninstall.....thanks
Hope it helps
