Michael, Could you pose screenshots of the Services Control Panel applet, showing which services you have running or disabled? That would be very helpful. Thanks. -- MMM
I have a laptop, so my memory expansion options are limited. I'm trying to reduce the memory footprint as well as speed up my machine. Thanks for your reply. --- MMM
No need to keep Kleenex handy for me. I create images of my C: drive regularly (via Norton Ghost or Drive Image) to save me from catastrophic software changes. -- MMM
Sure, I got to download a free capture program that does not have a big logo. When I crashed my computer doing this service thing...I never re-installed hypersnap... lol Does anybody know of a freebie with no logo? Michael B. P.S. Do you want the pro or home version? P.S.S. the cost for this is to share with me the other services I can make manuel or disable...thanks
Michael, The Services applet has a export list function (Action Menu | Export List), so you can just post the text file that it generates. The Pro version please. If I get any other performance enhancements, I will pass them along to you via this message thread. Here's one suggestions for you: I read in the Qcharts user group that one user was able to reduce the occurrences of 100% cpu utilization by changing Processor Scheduling to Background services, and memory usage to System Cache. I use these settings currently -- I can't say it's been noticeably better, but it certainly hasn't been worse. Thanks for your help. -- MMM
start by putting services in manual mode - if needed they will be started by other processes just not by default some to start with server service - can be disabled if you do not want to share folders/printers - plus adds security to inbound connections task scheduler computer browser - disable and connect to other pcs by ip dhcp client - disable and use static internal ips if you can dns client - need for browsing internet fast user switching - if you dont use it iisadmin indexing print spooler - turn on when necassary telephony
