Reply to need help improving comp performance in Personal Computing WinCustomize Forums

A whole list of registry tools: http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads15.html I've used Registry Mechanic (it's shareware, so some features are disabled) and RegScrubXP (make sure you make a backup before you make any extensive changes. A lot of people like Erunt for registry backups. CCleaner (don't have a link, just Google it) is also a decent registry cleaner, as well as cleaning out your temp files, recycle bin, etc...

You can also find speed tweaks at speedguide.net, both for your PC and your internet connection if you have cable or DSL connection. http://www.speedguide.net/ If Black Viper's site is still down, the elder geek has a similar list of Windows services, and tells which you can safely disable. http://theeldergeek.com/services_guide.htm

Here are 99 PC performance tips: http://www.pcstats.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=1590 I've used most, if not all, of them, and it definitely speeds things up. As others have said, try to keep your running processes to a minimum. With a little time you can weed out what you don't need better than installing a 3rd party program to do it for you, and you'll become more familiar with your system. <img src="http://images.stardock.co

Reply to going to break my gfx card in half :-P in Video Cards WinCustomize Forums

What happens if you boot into safe mode? (that will bypass your video drivers an run in VGA) Or if your mobo has onboard graphics, you could pull your video card and run from the onboard graphics and see if your problem is resolved.

Julian, send me an email at wormofarrakis at gmail dot com (Yeah, I love the Dune books)and I'll send you an invite. Oh, I use Firefox and Thunderbird. I use Outlook at work and I do like how it uses MS Word as your text editor, but at home Thunderbird suits my needs just fine.

Art is apparently better than fiber in WinCustomize Talk WinCustomize Forums

A Swedish researcher claims that viewing art lowers blood pressure, brightens the outlook, and relieves constipation. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20051014/od_afp/afplifestylearthealthoffbeat_051014141429 So next time you're feeling a little, er...."out of sorts" just take a trip to your local art museum. Who knew.
