I just put into google something like "free up vista" and a few pages came up that I think ANY vista user should check out. It tells you how to stop some of the services that are robbing your computer of precious ram. I used it and it runs quite a bit faster. You just need basic knowledge to know what you're doing!
yep they always alot of stuff running in the background that you don't need xp is the same......good advice basic knowledge of what you are doing don't even mess with it if you don't understand
Yeah I probably should have said that in my OP... If you don't know what a file extension is, you probably shouldn't bother with it unless you have time and money to fix what you fuck up.
you did warn them in your op but it really a good way to make your computer run faster nice peice of advice thanks for posting it
Man, there is so much. It depends on what you need and what you want to do. Do a Google search for "Speed up Windows XP" and be ready for a good 3 hour session. Don't forget to set a restore point. Go slow and be precise. I've tweaked more than a few. If you run into problems give me a shout. Have fun.
On a general google sence, I find all my warez from google. For the people that dont know, warez is movies, games, music, and anything else that can go on a computer. Free. And Illegal.
limewire, kazaa, and warez are all loaded with spyware. Do your self a favor and look into bitTorrent. Azureus is usually a good program to start with if you don't know what you;re doing.
vista definatly needs some tweaking to free up memory. there is so much crap running on vista i dont see why it needs to have so many processes running. ive never had to do any tweaking on XP theres really isnt that many extra processes running. with all my stuff running on windows xp it still uses way less ram then vista at idle. its always a good thing to have a firewall and a virus protector and then something for spyware and adware crap.
