I've been able to figure out a lot of them (been doing since early Windows XP) but it takes a lot of research and practice and crashes. Best to leave them alone. If you have to research them (google services) and do one by one. Some you never touch though. [Link] |

Antivirus programs slow things down too; some are a bigger drag than others. Firefox with adblocking and script blocking can be faster than IE, but at a cost of making some websites not work properly (which you can easily adjust case-by-case, but might become hassle/tedious for you). Or maybe you need a more powerful graphics card with more memory. Or maybe you need more RAM. It all depends on what is the particular problem you are trying to solve. If you are a speed/performance freak, for the amount of energy you are expending on examining the intricacies of registry tweaks and services and startup programs and whatnot, you could be learning and installing Linux, which is lightweight and unbloated and therefore is blazingly fast (compared to Windows). Of course you'd need to scrounge around for replacement equivalents of your various Windows applications. [Link] |
| Opium Deactivated User 300 Posts 3/12 | Posted - May 28 2012 : 1:56AM on a side note i'm having a weird problem with sleep mode in windows 7. i had sleep and display set to enter sleep mode after 2 hours (sometimes i come back to my PC after making dinner or something and didn't want "wear & tear" to occur by the PC entering sleep mode only to be wakened again shortly). it was working fine the first few days and then it just stopped entering sleep mode. i did some googling and tried disabling the "wake timers" but that didn't help. so i called gateway and they advised me to set sleep mode to enter after only 10 minutes or even less. so i changed it to 10 minutes and now it's entering sleep mode again. any thoughts/advice on this??
