WHAT ELSE CAN YOU DO TO SPEED UP A COMPUTER.....(DEFRAG, TEMPS, CACHE, etc.....
 

My laptop is dragging ass. I ran all of the spyware/anti-virus etc....defraged, delete the temp internet files, history, and slapped it around a few times but it still crawls. It's a AMD64/512/ATI9600, etc...it does have a lot of programs, adobe photoshops/premieres/pinnacles...is there anything else simple I can do to get it back up to speed or am I screwed :(

input appreciated-

THX-

Dont fight it dude, dump the puter and get a new one, they are so cheap these days, I change mine every 3 months

I would go with the new MSN Web TV thingy they have

start/run

type msconfig

click startup

click deselect all :thumbsup

Great advice right there

run evidence eliminator. seriously, it cleans out so much junk.

Also, have you ran regclean? might be a lot of old shit loading from your registry that's hogging up the system.

I did those two things the other night and it set back the clock (metaphorically speaking) by a few months speed wise. The system is a bit fresher.

yep yep yep yep

Thanks man, everyone else :321GFY :winkwink:

Disable all the useless services running in the background

I would use this program.

took the words right out of my mouth, should definately do the trick! :thumbsup :thumbsup

Get a faster comp.

Would you REALLY

doubtful you will have to defrag, or if defrag would do much good (assuming you run xp). to me, it either sounds like spyware, malware or a virus. to me, there is something that is definately hogging system resources... just use ctrl+alt+del and check the running processes that looks like something (besides explorer.exe) that is hogging up oogles of memory and resources :2 cents:

goodluck!

msconfig is a not found on my machine???

Every 3 months? That's pretty quick.

I would use Lavasoft Adaware.
Its free, and you can download it from www.download.com
It gets rid of all the trash you have on your PC.
