NUG Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 I'm looking for information on optimizing windows xp to have the most less used resources, and services running in the backround without causing problems. I have seen this before posted somewhere's, but I can not find that post.. Can someone help me?
XtremeMaC Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 stop unneccessary services services.msc blackviper.comdefrag your hddstop running processes. including anti-virusget more ramget faster componentsuse nlite.that should be enough...
Zxian Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 nLite, nLite, nLite.Just remove everything that you don't need on a daily basis and you should be good to go. The only thing I can see possibly causing you problems would be removing IE and IE Core, perhaps...
trickytwista Posted July 5, 2005 Posted July 5, 2005 yep nlite is the way 2 go....get rid of all the bloated crap...cheers
tarquel Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 just a small point ...*ahem*... but make sure you dont remove services that you dont know what they are......you may (and most likely will) run into problems with other things and wonder why - as I've seen a fair few times before on MSFN.Cheers and happy gaming N.
Blam-O! Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 the easiest way to cutt down on windows bloatware would be to NOT install Windows XP....... revert back to win 3.1
ironfist241 Posted July 6, 2005 Posted July 6, 2005 ah windows for workgroups... *reminiscence*back to the topic of getting XP going nicely, there is a small freeware app by the nice people at driverheaven.net (yes, the people include the dude who makes the omegadrivers) called "TuneXP", it doesnt seem to get discussed here much which is a pity cos ive found it to be the smallest/most efficent means of tweaking XP post-install:Driverheaven.net - TuneXPhappy tweaking B)
suryad Posted July 9, 2005 Posted July 9, 2005 nLite, http://www.tweakguides.com/, blackviper guide...and I think you are set.
