Computer Speed up Tips
Make Your Computer Run Faster With Our Computer Speed Up
Articles
Windows XP and Vista are very flexible operating systems
when it comes to tweaking it to get the maximum performance.
There are a number of very simple tweaks that anyone can do, to
get more performance.
The first thing to do is to
modify system interface
Go to Control Panel ( Start Menu and you will see
it on the list )
double click the System > Advanced >
Performance
This will take you to Visual Effects you have a number of
options from here,
for pure speed you can select Adjust for best performance
my personal choice is to select Custom and then remove
ticks from all but the very bottom box, this will still look
like XP but it will remove a lot of the unneeded operating
system visual effects.

articles, see bottom of page ..
The next option we have is to set a Fixed page file, you can do
this from the System in Control panel again
Select the Visual Effects >
Advanced at the bottom you'll see a section labelled
Virtual memorySelect
Change system managed size should be
selected, Select Custom Size and set the minimum to 500mb
and the maximum to 2000mb.
Stay in Control Panel
select Display
under the Themes tab, set this to
Windows Classic under the Desktop tab,
set the background to None
under the Settings tab, check the colour quality, is it set to
Highest 32bit if so change it to Medium 16bit
stopping the indexing service
go to the Start Menu Select Run, now type
services.msc
after a few seconds you'll get the services box, from here
search for Indexing service double click on it,
now you'll be under the general tab, under
service status click Stop also where it says
Start-up Type change it to manual
These are all basic XP tweaks that will make you computer run
faster, any of them are fully reversible at any time.
