Ways to speed up a Windows XP Computer!!!
These are guides i have read on the net (wikihow) and find useful to share:
1) Defragment Your PC
It places similar files physically closer on the hard disk to improve load speeds.
Click start >> then click run >> Type and enter "dfrg.msc" >> Click Defragment to start.
2) Disk clean up
Click start >> then click run >> Type and enter "cleanmgr.exe" >> Click okay.
3) Remove unwanted software
Click start >> then click control panel >> Choose add/remove programs.
Find any old software you do not use that can remove
4) Stop unwanted Start-Up programs
Click start then click Run >> Type and enter "msconfig" >> Choose startup box.
Uncheck programs you don't want to run on startup
5) Make Windows load faster
Click start then click Run >> Type and enter "msconfig" >> Click on the "BOOT.INI" tab at the top. Over to the right there will be a box labeled Timeout with 30 in it. Change the 30 to a 3.
6) Speed Up RAM
Click start >> then click control panel >> Choose "System properties" >> Advanced tab then Click the Settings button under Performance. 'Change' under Virtual Memory >> Advanced tab
You will see the 'Initial Size (MB)' and the Maximum Size (MB)'.
Change 'Initial Size' to the same value as 'Maximum Size' then click set.
7) Remove Spyware and Viruses
Scan your Pc regularly. If you do not have tools installed to protect against malware, spyware, and viruses, download a free copy of "AVG Anti-Virus 8.0" (free for personal use).
*** Warning ***
Always create a restore point before uninstalling software.
Be careful when using "msconfig". Do not uncheck unfamiliar items. Doing so could prevent your Windows install from booting!
