Registry
-
I'm not sure where this goes, but this is the closest forum I could find to what I wanted/meant. I have been having lots of issues with my xp box at the office. We've tried many things, including a new nic. It seems to do everything slower than it's older counter parts. Next thing we are going to try is a registry cleanup. I don't know any good ones. Suggestions? Any free one's would be good, mostly since we are not sure it will even work.
If it moves, compile it

Easy enough to install and use. It'll take a me a couple days with some of our normal processes to test, but stuff seems to be a bit snappier already. I was surprised at how many issues I had in my registry. I know nothing of ms registry :(

Well, it seemed to work for some things. Including boot/startup time, browser speed, and programs opening. However, that was not my problem :( It's whenever I do things like spreadsheet processing, vb6 modules, etc. These exact programs work with the same data and all situations , faster on the other computers with smaller specs. This one is just slow for some reason, and I can't figure out why.

Thus the "Start with". :) I am not an expert, but thought the tip might help.

Right. The registry cleaner seemed to do exactly what it was supposed to. I liked the disk cleanup options as well. it did make an improvement on my computer. I just don't think it was the root problem. You're solution did directly address the issue I was asking about. I just asked the wrong question it seems.

You should check Task Manager and see how many services are running in the background. CRTL+ALT+DEL or right-click the taskbar on the bottom of your screen. If Office is bogging down try running a repair on it through thr tools option in either Word or Excel. Defrag your drive lately? I usually run it two-three times in a row once a month, or setup a schedule. People tend to forget that drive speed/age can have a nasty effect of a PC as well. **Note: Before doing any manual registy cleaning > Right-click on MyComputer in Regedit and export the entire registry tot he C:\drive in a folder like "C:\REGBACKUP\, so if you have to do a commandline fix it'll be there. Check in Regedit under HKEY Local Machine\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\run and see how many "things" are trying to run on startup. I get rid of all of the Adobe, Java, iTunes, HP, or any other Updater that's in there. You can also post what your's shows for us to look at as well.
Something worth reading, albeit it's invincible!
