rlemmon:
Hi guys. Can anyone recommend a good PC speedup/problem finder program. Freewere would be best but I'd pay for one if i knew it would work. Thanks
AtomSmasher:
The best one is your windows cd....reformat and reinstall ;D
RayB:
Free:
The problem is the user.
Solution:
Wipe drive clean, re-install OS.
EwJ:
Are you having a specific problem?
What OS are you using?
There are a few obvious things you can (for XP for example) do such as:
1)turn off system restore.
2)defrag your hard drives.
3)turn of all unnecessary services (per black viper or other)
4)turn off indexing on drives and service.
5) run spybot (free)
6)run a full virus scan (free avg 7.5 or antivir are free and not too bad)
7)ctrl-alt-del and check all processes running - check them against a reliable startup program database (plenty of sites on net)- disable all unnecessary.
8)check for things that are set to run automatically on bootup - disable in software settings or services - if they're not needed running in background all the time. if no option or service to disable, goto start>run> type msconfig and disable from there.
9) run a decent firewall
10) fdisk/format/reinstall OS anyway :laugh:
EwJ:
Probably wouldn't hurt to clean the registry with something like regcleaner/Regsupreme or Ccleaner will probably do that and more.
You can tweak a few things in tweakui/tweakxp that might help a little.
If you're not worried about eye candy, goto control panel/system/advanced/ select adjust for best performance.
Heh, there's about a million things you can do to help speed things up a bit - mostly shutting off the superfluous services.
You did ask about problem finder software - if you post specific problems, someone may be able to post specific solutions.
Good luck!
