You're going to have to make the screenshot bigger!

Unfortunately there is no real guide for what you should or should not disable it's all trial and error.

ok thanks so much

90% of items unchecked in that Autoruns won't make the slightest difference in my experience.

What exactly are you trying to do?

I tune up computers for a living, and I guarantee my customers a 100% increase in system performance when I'm done. (over an 'Out of The Box' PC)

There is NO one thing or One area where you're going to get that kind of increase.

If you're going for max performance, you're going to need at least one gig of ram and a SATA hard drive.

There's a whole list of Services that can be Disabled or put into Manual mode....

see my own list on My Webpage

that takes a huge load off of the CPU.

Then there's those totally redundant TSR's that load when you boot up the PC and run in the background.

Some may even show up as Icons in your system tray.

You can shut down the ones you don't need in "MSCONFIG".

Then you can go to the registry and start tweaking.....

Again, you'll find some really good ones on my web page.

Then you can go to Add/Remove programs in your control panel and UN-Install every factory installed program that you don't want or need. For Sure, get out all the Demo's or Trials.

Once you've done all that give your HD a really good cleaning and defrag it.

Then run a good Registry cleaner like Easy Cleaner

And, then follow that up with a registry Optimization with "NTREGOPT.exe" from the same site.

The entire process takes me several hours, so you're not going to get it done in a few minutes, even if you do everything I do. (and you won't)

But if you do what I've outlined here, using the programs I've given you access to, you'll have a much improved PC.

Oooops! Much of what I've outlined here is for the XP operating System, but

The Easy Cleaner program works equally well on Windows 98, 98/SE or even ME.

Then get my "Hoover.bat" cleanup program from my site.

That little guy is now running happily in over 14 countries.

Then there's always this little routine that I use for all my customers, still using those older OS's.

**********************************************

Tweak Win 98,or '98/SE, to make it run more effeciently:

1: START---Settings---Control Panel

Double Click "System"

Click "Performance" tab

Click "File System" Button

Set, "Typical Role of this computer" to 'Network Server'

Click the Apply button

Then:

Click the "Floppy Disk" tab

Un-Check the little box in 'Settings' window

Click "Apply",,,,,,then click OK

Click OK again

(this change will become permanent after a Re-Boot

2: START---RUN--- type in Sysedit , and then press ENTER

Maximize the "System Configuration Editor" window

Maximize the "System.ini" window

Scroll down till you can see the entire [386Enh] grouping

Place your mouse cursor on the first blank line at the bottom of the group

Then, type in the following line....

ConservativeSwapfileUsage=1

(type the line exactly as shown,,,with NO spaces and caps where I've put them)

Then press enter.

The above line will help Windows to use RAM more effectively.

Click "File" in the upper left corner of the Editor window. Then click "SAVE"

Close the Editor window and Re-Boot your computer.

After a re-start, windows will now operate at 15% to 30% faster and more efficient than it did before.
