Tips that are already commonly known helpful to speed up a slow computer are not what I want to share here, but two exclusive tips!
<1>Reset transfer mode to DMA
I was having lunch with a colleague one day, he asked me if I could give him some tips to speed up his computer, I felt weird, because I had been monitoring our network all the time, there was no sign of virus infection, why would he ask me for tips to speed up his computer? Later on, he was a little embarrassed and told me, the other day he brought his young daughter to his office, and had to leave her alone for just two minutes to go to men's room, just during that two minutes, his young daughter had messed his computer, some of the files were completely ruined, and the computer ran slow ever since. He also told me he had scanned For virus and nothing was found, and used the tweak tool to clean out registry and system garbage, it was a useful tips that I gave him to speed up his computer sometime before, he told me, in most cases, his computer should be restored to former normal performance, but why not this time! I was confused and went to check and check his computer myself, finally, I found that it was the transfer mode that somehow was set to PIO which slowed his computer down. I think, I should write it down and share this rare tips that helps to speed up your slow computer when other common solutions don't work.
