Guide – 2 of 2 Make your computer faster!

Ok here is the second part of “Make you computer faster!”

We are going to talk about, things that make it start up faster, and use all its power.
Normally you computer does not use all it power, it only uses 1 processor, but most computers to day go 2 or more.

  1. Ok, now open start menu, and search for “msconfig” if your on xp you can click run and type “msconfig” and press enter.
  2. The go under the boot tab.
    1. There is a field called “timeout” this is by standard set to 30 second, but you can set it to 3, this is only for super geeks that know how to cancel a computer shutdown.(maybe i will make a mini tip on that)
    2. Now click the “advanced settings” button.
    3. The “number of processers” is by default set to 1, but it will make your computer faster by using the most. When it is 1 and you got 2 you only use half of your computers force.
    4. When you have done that press ok.
  3. Now go to the tab “services”
    1. Press “Hide all Microsoft services”.
    2. Here you can look through the programs you don't need.( for example if you installed a Nokia software but now you got a Sony Ericson)
  4. After that go under “Startup”.
    1. Here you can turn it all off if you like. But if you got sound driver running in the taskbar don’t shut it off, also look out for internet card driver, and video card driver.
    2. If you don't know what are your drivers here they are just off my head.
      1. Soundcard: Realtek.
      2. Internet card: Zyxle, D-link.
      3. Video card: Nvidea, Avi.
