Why Does My Computer Run Slow?

1. System Registry Errors

This was my main problem when my computer started running slow. Many computer users have no idea about what a computer registry is, or how to maintain it.

The registry keys in the registry are just as important as any other part of the system. They containinstructions that tell the hardware or software in your computer how to run. Over time, your computer's registry entries can become very messy, because the computer does not always restore the default settings after running the programs. Over time the problem becomes worse, and your programs will take a very long time to find the instructions to run properly.

I was finally able to speed up my computer after cleaning out my computer registry. If you suspect that you might have errors in your computer registry too, you can visit my website link at the end of this article to learn more about the top registry cleaners.

2. Virus

Your computer could be infected with a virus if you download files from the internet regularly. This is another reason why a computer may runslowly. If you do not have an anti-virus software installed on your computer, you can download an antivirus software by doing a Google search for it.

In the case that the viruses on your computer become impossible to remove, you may need to install Windows on your computer again. Remember to back up your data too if you decide to reformat.

3. Insufficient RAM

Insufficient RAM is also one of the reasons why your computer may be running slow. If this is really the main causes for your computer to run slow, you will need to upgrade the RAM on your computer. If you have purchased your computer yourself, you may already be anticipating this problem if you know that the RAM is low.

For a Windows XP computer, any amount of RAM lower than 512 MB is probably insufficient to provide a good user experience. To check your own computer RAM, you can go to the "My Computer" icon, right click it and choose "Properties".

4. Spyware and Adware

Your computer may be infected by too many spyware and adware. These files cause your computer to slow down. This is another reason that is very frequent amongst computer users who visit many free download websites on the internet. These spyware are meant to sit on your computer and track your browsing activities. They then send back the information to their main sites.

To remove all the spyware on your computer, you can download a spyware cleaner from their website and it should be able to detect and remove all of the spyware and adware.

If you have never installed a Fishfinder before this article will give you an overview of the general process. It is not intended to be a step by step guide for any particular Fish Finder but it will give you an idea of whether or not you have the right skills to tackle the installation yourself.

DIY Marine Electronics-Installing a Fishfinder

Getting Started:
You can purchase Fishfinder installation kits or assemble the components yourself using off the shelf products. The kit usually comes with some or all of the following components:

A rubber grommet or water seal (for feeding the wiring from the transducer to the fishfinder display unit) Some extra wire A waterproof battery packs and battery packbag A foam block (for mounting the transducer in the boat) A heavy duty marine sealant such as Marine Goop or Lexel

Your fishfinder unit may or may not come with an installation kit, but at the very minimum, should contain:

Fishfinder display unit A ram mount and mounting bracket (to attach the fishfinder display unit to the boat) Transducer and power cable

1. Mounting the Fishfinder Display unit

Determine where you will mount the fishfinder. Choose a location that makes it easy to reach while navigating the boat, and out of the way of any obstructions. Some installation mounts have back brackets which must be screwed on for stability. This type of mount requires you have access to the part of the boat underneath the mount so you can tighten the screws.You will need to drill holes for the mount and attach it securely. You can then insert the ram mount and fishfinder unit.

2. Installing the fishfinder transducer

There is more than one way to do this and it depends on your preference and on the type of fish Finder you purchased. Mounting a transducer inside the bottom of the boat involves cutting out a hole in a foam block designed to cushion the transducer. You attach the foam block using a good quality sealant and then insert the transducer into the foam block. The sealant must be applied carefully avoiding gaps and bubbles for the transducer to work correctly. An outside mount may require drilling a hole in the boat. You can use a rubber grommet or a waterseal and plenty of sealant to make the holes watertight.Alternatively you can mount the transducer on the hull at a point high enough to be in the water but out of the way of rocks or obstacles.

3. Wiring up the Fishfinder to the Transducer.
This step involves routing the power cable from the transducer to the fish finder display unit and may involve drilling another hole to keep the installation neat and tidy. Again, a grommet or waterseal may be needed.

4. The last step is wiring up the unit to the battery pack.

You may need to add additional lengths of wire, depending on where you plan to stash the battery pack, the size of your boat, etc. The batteries must be sealed in a waterproof container, such as a waterproof battery pack bag.
