Become More Productive with A Faster Windows XP
A slow PC should be ancient history. In this day of innovations and technology, using a slow PC will give you the idea of living through ancient times. It is for this reason that we usually search for ways to speed up their PCs.
If you are on the same road, then you just came to right place. Its true that there are several ways involve in speeding up a PC. But hey, these easy sacrifices are always worth it.
Here is some of the tweaking I did to speed up my Windows:
> Its irritating to wait for menu delays. Lessen the time it takes for menu transitions by right-clicking your desktop. Select Properties and Click the Effects tab. Unchoose the Animate windows menu lists. For Windows XP users, you can do this by right-clicking on the desktop, choosing Properties, clicking the Appearance tab, clicking the Effects option and deselect Use the following transition effects for menus and tooltips, then Click OK.
> Speed up Windows Start Up by cleaning out the programs you dont use at start-up. For those who use Windows 98, this could be done by going to Start and clicking Run. Type in MSConfig.exe and hit OK button Click the Start up tab then deselect the applications you wish to discontinueduring the startup. You see, you can only speed start up Windows if you lessen the softwares that computer needs to run.
> Defrag may be an old school process but it doesnt fail to help anyone who has speed problems. Look for the defrag option under your System Tools menu from the Accessories or Start Tab. Be sure that you provide a time for defragging. Using various programs as the same time as defragging confines the process itself.
> Choosing to install your software is recommended if you frequently experience errors. Run a virus scan before you back up all of your important files In addition, make sure that you have a copy of your hardware drivers and program installers before trying to delete the contents of your hard drive Installing again your application could run for as long as an hour or more.
> Removing programs that you do not use. Programs, though you are using them or not, eat up space in your hard disk. If you arent utilizing them, then is there still a need to keep them?
