Microsoft Word can be sometimes cumbersome to even load up. Especially if you're on the older machines and older OS, such as the Windows XP or Mac OS X 10.3 Tiger. So, here are a couple of tips on how to speed that process up.
First, delete some stuffs. When the disk is more than half full, it gets slower. That's why the old machines run really slow because it's full.
Second, delete some fonts. If you have loads of fonts, it takes just forever to load them!
Third, delete some templates. In my case, and especially for the newest versions of Word for both Mac and Windows PC, templates takes a really long time to load. Deleting the ones you don't use really help. You can always get them back later from the Microsoft website when you need it.
Fourth, try clearing some processes. Many background processes running at once will slow your computer down, and by a lot. This is especially problem if you have many programs checking in the background such as network.
And lastly, remove some of the unused extensions. Without extensions, the newest version of Word starts up in 4 seconds. Extensions take about 10 seconds for each of them.
This applies for all Microsoft Office components, that is, the Word, Powerpoint, and Excel.
Hopefully you'll find this useful and you speed up your process!

25 Tips When The Youtube Starts Being Slow
Today for the blog I got ways to prevent Youtube from being slow and stop loading the movie/video you are trying to watch.
So the problem all begins when the red bar starts to catch up with the grey bar.
1. Youtube may not even load at all at the start of a video. In that case, refresh the page by pressing F5.
2. If it's still not loading, try scrolling up to 0:03 or some part of the video instead of letting Youtube load from the beginning.
3. Check your internet settings. Many of the times it is because of the internet connection problem.
4. But will it blend?
5. Many of the other times, it is the fault of Youtube. Close your browser and start again.
6. You should try disconnecting from the internet and connecting again. This clears the problem 90% of time.
7. If it still doesn't work, then try rebooting the internet router. Internet routers are also computers like your laptop, PC, iPad, etc, so sometimes it needs to be rebooted.
8. Oops, the router took an arrow to the knee.
9. Be an adventurer and restart your computer. This step might be horrendous for you if you're running Windows XP. Your computer is now safe to turn off.
10. Try unplugging your router with your Modem.
11. If it's still doesn't work, it is recommended that you contact your ISP!
12. KNIFE!
13. Try updating your system software and/or your browser software. This should have been the step 7.
14. Sometimes it is good to change video resolution lower. Try it.
15. If the red bar is still catching up, you need to scroll it forward instead of backward. The reason for this is that Youtube don't load movies/videos when the black bar is ahead of the red bar. Most of the time.
16. You were expecting something funny in this step.
17. Try smacking the computer like back in the ol' days.
18. If you are willing, replace some parts of the computer with newer parts, such as RAM(really important).
19. Smacking didn't help? Then try smashing! Word of caution: when smashing, only use the bats. Don't throw your sister onto the computer.
20. Clearing the computer might help. Drop it from the top floor.
21. One actually useful tip: delete some stuffs on your computer. It is proven that computer is more likely to malfunction and be slow when the 2/3rds of the disk is full.
22. Now back to the practical tips: ask your parents for some money, regardless of your age.
23. Infiltrate Microsoft and reprogram the whole OS.
24. Blow up the disk, and insert a new one.
25. If you're still having problems with loading a Youtube video, then blame the world because it's clearly their fault.
