Follow these tips and you will
definitely have a much faster
and more reliable PC!
1. Wallpapers:
They slow your whole system down, so if
you're willing to compromise,
have a basic plain one instead!
2. Drivers:
Update your hardware drivers as frequently
as possible. New drivers tend
to increase system speed
especially in the case of
graphics cards, their drivers are
updated by the manufacturer very frequently
3. Minimizing:
If you want to use several programs at the
same time then minimize those
you are not using. This helps
reduce the overload on RAM.
4. Boot Faster:
The 'starting Windows 98/XP' message on
startup can delay your booting
for a couple of seconds. To get
rid of this message go to c:\
and find the file Msdos.sys.
Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any
other text editor. Finally, go to
the text 'Options' within the file
and make the following changes:
Add BootDelay=0. To make your
booting even faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows
logo at startup.
5. Restart only Windows:
When restarting your PC, hold
down Shift to only restart
Windows rather than the whole
system which will only take a
fraction of the time.
6. Turn Off Animations:
Go to Display Settings from the
Control Panel and switch to the
Effects Tab. Now turn off Show
Windows Content While Dragging
and Smooth Edges on Screen
Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP because of the
various fade/scroll effects.
7. Faster Start-Menu Access:
Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type
Regedit and hit Enter. The
Registry Editor will appear on
the screen. Now, open the
folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER \Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay
value. If you don't then do the
following: right click on a blank
space in the right pane and
select New\String. Change the
name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we
have the MenuShowDelay value,
double click on it and enter0 in the value data field. This sets
the start menu delay to 0
milliseconds.
8. Resolutions:
If you are willing to do anything for faster
performance from your PC, then
try lowering your display
resolution. The lower it is, the
faster your PC.
9. Turn off Active Desktop:
Go to your Display Properties and switch to the Web tab.
Uncheck View My Active Desktop
As a Web Page. Since the
Active Desktop option under
Windows 98 uses a lot of
system resources, this option can have a dramatic effect on
the speed of the whole system.
