I know my computer has tons of useless background processes. Sometimes I remember to get rid of some in my task manager, but I know there are alot that I don't know the name of and I dont want to ruin something important. Could anyone help me get my computer running faster, especially now that we are looking at Scrimming and CAL-O, I want to get this cleaned up. | ||

kremit is the master at tweaking for speed. ill pass along what i know go to start-run-msconfig, and click startup. uncheck anything you dont absolutely need to load when you startup. if you are unsure, google the process names and itll have a good description of what the process is. second, what OS are you running? if XP, go here: -[link]- if on vista, go here: -[link]- those will guide you through disabling services, which are programs running in the background that doesnt show up in task manager. Again, if you are unsure on something, google it and get a better understanding on what it is. third, get ccleaner: -[link]- and wipe off all the temp files that build up. fourth, uninstall any programs you dont use more than 5-15 times per month, unless you absolutely NEED them. fifth, disable themes, and dont run anything else when playing counter strike. if you still need some speed after all this, get some more ram, but this should do the trick. it worked for me (though i still bought more ram) |

i just went through and made some changes to Startup and that link you had Emerican for Windows XP. Everything is grey now so I think the themes are gone  Also, in my msconfig Startup tab, I googled everything and disabled like 80% of what was there. When I restarted my computer, some of the things I had disabled seem to have reenabled themselves. Things like GoogleToolbarNotifier and "ctfmon". Any way to get these programs to listen to me and stay off? Also I need someone to link me a good, free, Registry cleaner and that will solve something? |
