I do not recommend that you use any Registry Cleaners, Optimizers, Driver Updaters, Tune -Up utilities, etc.

They may do more harm to your operating system than any good that they claim to be able to do.

If you are not completely happy after following bill's advice, I suggest you seriously consider re-installing Windows 7.  Pros know well that a re-install all by itself will always yield a stunning improvement in  performance.  Three years is about the right interval, but no more than 5 years.  While considering that, consider replacing your older hard drive (cost under $100).  Consider it old it laptop is 5 years or older, desktop 8 years or older.  Hard drives fail slowly usually and bad performance is one of the top-offs.

While considering a new hard drive, do not buy a 5400rpm one.  Buy a 7200 rpm one.  Much better for almost no price differential.
