How to Make Windows XP/Vista Run Faster - Adjust for Best Performance
(Page 3 of 4 )
If you need speed, you should sacrifice the images, fanciness and cuteness of your Windows XP/Vista system. Sorry, but you cannot configure both at the same time. You should prioritize only ONE for best results. Since this article is all about optimizing Windows XP/Vista for speed, I recommend tweaking the Windows XP/Vista system for best performance. To do this:
Step 1: Go to the Control Panel.
Step 2: Right click on "System."
Step 3: Click "open."
Step 4: Navigate to the "Advanced" tab.
Step 5: Under "Performance," click "Settings."
Step 6: Click the "Adjust for best performance" check box and click OK to apply.
If you have trouble following these steps, your screen should look the one below:
Uninstall Useless Programs, and Then DEFRAG the System
It is amazing that I encounter so many computers powered with Windows XP/Vista that have lots of programs that are not useful. Note that these programs consume your C drive's disk space. Moreover, the fact is that the smaller your available disk drive space is, the slower your computer will become!
You should consider removing or uninstalling those programs that are not needed. Make sure that the disk drive space occupying your Windows XP is not more than 50 percent full.
Uninstall properly by going to the Control Panel, clicking Add or Remove programs, and then restarting if necessary.
