How can make faster Windows XP?
-
i also tried this,after some time pc is again slower. i was format the C:,approx 10 days before today. one more thing this time when after formatting c:, when i installed Microsoft Visual Studio its installed successfully but when i run any code its gives error and display some dll those are not present.

Although XP will run in 256Mb of ram, I wouldn't recommend it (and did notice that the service packs made it worse for small ram PCs). And although the minimum spec for VS is 256Mb that is also the recommended minimum for .NET alone. I would find it painful to run VS in less than 1Gb - it would be really slow. If your ram is that low, then there is a good chance your HDD is also pretty small, which will restrict the size of your swap file - this may cause problems with running VS. My order of priorities for running XP with VS: RAM - 1GB is a good minimum. HDD - 80GB or bigger. Monitor: Big as you can get. Processor - 1.2G Athlon or faster. Basically: the lower the spec, the less you load. Every App you install will slow the PC down a bit, for some stupid reason.

hi all, i have an OS Windows XP. please tell me how can make faster this. thanks.

Go: 1. Start 2. Run 3. Enter "services.msc" (without the quotes) 4. Stop & disable anything you don't like the look of. 5. Restart the computer. If it won't restart, use System Restore, then repeat steps 1-5, but stop & disable a few less things. I'll tell ya, this computering stuff is just too easy!

Install Vista. Use it for couple of days. Now install XP, I bet it will work fast :-D

Only stop and disable the ones that will make your machine run faster.

They're the ones that don't make it go slower or stay the same. But seriously, before you kill your computer, look through this services guide: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm[^]

Every MS OS run very fast, provided you don't install applications. :)

If you want REAL hardware acceleration you can get a good 9.81 m/s^2 by releasing the mass of the laptop from a significant height. Either that or take ot for a drive, in a fast car.

I was going to say something harsh in reply to that. But I'm too exasperated.
I know you believe you understood what you think I said, but I am not sure you realize what you heard is not what I meant.

How much?:confused: Even W7 does not have that amount as a recommendation. Microsoft say: "Microsoft recommends that computers running Windows XP have at least 128 megabytes (MB) of random access memory (RAM) installed. For this memory size, Windows XP has shown itself to be consistently superior to previous versions of Windows."

You could try not beating a dead horse and either replace your PC or upgrade it. Upgrading the RAM alone will help at least a little. But not knowing what specs you have I'm going to assume it's running on a Pentium II and by all means should be put in a wood chipper.

Le@rner, It's clear that English is not your first language, and your question has very little information on your machine's hardware, so many of the posts here are just playing with you to see if they can get you to do something stupid. Don't listen to them. I hate to spoil everyone's fun, but please leave your BOFH hats at the door. I thought this was CodeProject, not 4Chan. Le@rner, without more details about your computer, we can't really offer much assistance. We know you started with 256Mb of RAM, but that's not the only component to a solid machine. At minimum, we also need to know which CPU you're using. The unfortunate answer is that Visual Studio requires significantly more resources than the minimum required to run Windows XP if you want any hope of "speedy" computing. There's no magic software you can install to make your computer run faster. You're likely going to need to upgrade your computer's hardware if you want an increase in speed, and while adding more RAM is certainly a good first step, it may not be sufficient, especially if you're running on a slow hard drive (e.g., 5400 RPM or slower) or an old CPU. Tweaking your Services as recommended by the Black Viper guide posted above me is definitely a "Power User" option, and realistically you won't gain any significant bonuses. That level of tweaking is for the hardcore user who really wants to squeeze every clock cycle from their CPU and they're not afraid of breaking their Windows installation and starting over if they fail to do so correctly. At most, you might see a 5% increase in general computing and a few seconds shorter boot time, but beyond that, the services don't use a whole lot of resources, especially on any modern computer. If you're still following this, please provide us with more details about the computer's hardware and what you're intending to use the computer for and we can more correctly point you in the right direction.
