Here you can find useful tips you can do to make your pc work faster in a few minutes , just follow these tips and you will definitely have a much faster and more reliable PC!
QUOTE 1. Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead! 2. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on RAM. 3. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 9x , xp' message on startup can delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go to c:\ and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the text 'Options' within the file and make the following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup. 4. Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time. 5. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While Dragging and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP because of the various fade/scroll effects. 6. Resolutions: If you are willing to do anything for faster performance from your PC, then try lowering your display resolution. The lower it is, the faster your PC 7. Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want! 8. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them. This post has been edited by serverph: Feb 22 2006, 05:54 PM |

I read your nice suggestions, but some thing I should mention you is that the only windows which one can restart without restarting the computer is Win98, not other windowses.

Nice tutorial however. I liked the idea of Add BootDelay=0 and Logo=0 to msdos.sys. Second I didn't know higher resolution slows PC. Will check it out.

Another good way to speed up your win is to disable unused services.
For winxp (if in doubt do not disable a service,set it to manual or automatic) QUOTE Automatic: Application Layer Gateway Automatic Updates Cryptographic Services DCOM Server Process Launcher DHCP Client DNS Client Event Log IPSEC Services Plug and Play Print Spooler Protected Storage Remote Access Connection Manager Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Security Accounts Manager Shell Hardware Detection System Event Notification System Restore Service Task Scheduler Themes Windows Audio Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing Windows Management Instrumentation Disable: ASP.NET State Service Clipbook Error Reporting Service Fast User Switching Compatibility Help and Support HID Input Service IMAPI CD‐Burning COM Service Indexing Service Infrared Monitor Machine Debug Manager NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing Network DDE Network DDE DSM Network Location Awareness (NLA) Performance Logs and Alerts Portable Media Serial Number Service QoS RSVP Remote Desktop Help Session Manager Remote Registry Routing and Remote Access Secondary Logon Security Center Smart Card SSDP Discovery Service TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper Telnet Terminal Services Uninterruptible Power Supply Volume Shadow Copy WebClient Windows Time Windows User Mode Driver Framework Wireless Zero Configuration WMI Performance Adapter Any Microsoft services not listed above can be set to manual. |
