    For running slow there are many causes:

    Microsoft Registry Problems

    RAM

    De-Fragmenting

    Etc.

    Clean windows registry can speed up the computer.

    Registry Cleaner can fix your pc errors.

    Over time, you install new programs, uninstalled unimportant programs, update software's, install new devices,

    download files from the web, etcetera, hence embarking all records in the registry system.

    This is normal, but it is not wise to leave it untouched.

    Once in a while, you have to check and remove files that are no longer in use to maintain the speed of your PC.

    Clean registry make pc faster.

    no, it will not make your computer slower, it might lower you internet connection speed, depending on how big is the video, and how fast is your internet. If you are connected to the internet with DSL, and using a physical connection, connecting your computer to the DSL router with an ethernet cable, then it should not be a big problem cuz youll be in a 100Mb connection, but if you try to upload it on wireless, then in the time of the upload, youll have a really low connection since the signal is about 50Mb, half of what the physical connection is,

    uploading videos only makes your computer slower for the length of time it takes for the computer to upload the video to the device or site of your choosing. The reason is because it takes ram to allow your computer to function so the more things you use on your computer at the same time, the slower the computer gets.

    It is likely to make your internet connection slower, since some of it will be taken up with uploading the video. So webpages may load slowly etc. Best thing is to test it out and see how much of a difference it makes.

    While uploading video, it will use all resources to upload your movies. This will make your internet connection unable to use until it's completed. So run this during bedtime and it will spend the time uploading the video.

    This eats up your computer resources and internet resources.

    Not really, but I am not sure if you mean the internet speed. However, I recomend to not have downloading any file in order to have the upload the best speed possible. Also depends where you are uploading to.

  • OF COURSE IT DOESN'T I DO IT ALL THE TIME!!! THE ONLY WAY OF MAKING UR COMPUTER SLOW IS IF U DOWNLOAD ALOT OF VIDEOS 2 YOUR COMPUTER BUT TRUST ME UPLOADING VIDEOS WILL NOT MAKE UR COMPUTER SLOW MY FRIEND. GO HEAD AND TRY IT AND TELL ME HOW IT GOES.

    It won't make your computer slower, but it will slow down your internet speed.

    It'll make your computer c-r-a-w-l, but only while it's uploading. Not while the host is processing it.
