Windows is getting slower is always the problem voiced by my students.  I tell my students that you need tocomputer_help understand that Windows is a very complex operating system that needs lots of help to keep it running.  Windows is always at its best when freshly installed.  Then it starts its slow computer death as you begin to install, configure, surf the Web, play games, run applications, and uninstall programs.  It has a registry that just cannot keep up with all the many demands put on it.  A good registry cleaner is needed to help correct its many ills.  Also one of the leading problems is we have is too many programs and not enough available resources.  You also should be running a good anti-virus program like AVG.  It see free for personal use and is better than most of the commercial anti-virus programs.  Also a good firewall like ZoneAlarm will help to keep both inbound and outbound traffic in check.  I also recommend Adaware by Lavasoft to remove the spyware and data mining programs you pick up while surfing the Web.  I have a HubPage that covers why Windows slows down in more detail at  Slow Computer and another site a Slow-Computer.net you might checkout for further helps.

can use Device Manager to reinstall the correct video driver or other conflicting hardware driver. Then you can restart your computer normally with the video working.

The next reboot computer can reset your computer to its original factory settings by pressing F12 during startup (if your computer has this feature) or inserting a restore CD during startup.  This will take an image and reimage your entire hard drive.  This replaces all files including any saved files.  This is not the best option because you will have to reinstall all your programs and other important files to get your computer back to a functional working state.

The last reboot computer option will restore your computer to a saved configuration that has all your important programs and files.  This is accomplished using imaging software, such as Ghost or Partimage, that saves your current configuration and then allows you to restore all your important files when needed.  I have YouTube videos on Ghost and one on Partimage.  I also have a YouTube video on Reboot Computer that might be of help.
