Click Start> Settings> Control Panel> System> Advanced. In the Performance section, select Settings. Well, remove the check mark except the following options:- Show shadows under menus.- Show shadows under mouse pointer.- Show translucent selection rectangle.- Smooth edges of screen fonts.- Use drop shadows for icons labels on the desktop.- Use visual styles on windows and buttons.Then select Apply, then click OK. If it is still less, remove all the check except in the section "Use visual styles on windows and buttons". But if you do not need a beautiful and just want an agile, just select Adjust for best performance option or uncheck all there.
ClearTypeIf you use a good LCD screen LCD monitor or notebook, or Plasma, you can get the increased sharpness of text with ClearType enabled using the method of sharpening than regular font or anti-aliasing.Instruction is through the Start menu> Settings> Control Panel> Display> Appearance then Effects. Check the boxes for "Use the Following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" and select ClearType.
Page FileWindows XP uses the paging file is set by the system. The file is a backup of RAM memory where the operating system stores data temporarily. In today's operating systems, including Windows, programs, applications and system processes using virtual memory which is considered as RAM. Only the core of the operating system kernel that uses the physical memory directly. That is, virtual memory or page file is always used, although the memory required by all running processes is much smaller than the main memory (RAM) embedded on the motherboard.
By default, Windows XP will automatically control the amount of page file to the following sizes based on the amount of RAM that is attached to the system:
Less than 1GB of RAM- Initial size (MB): 1.5 x amount of RAM on your system.- Maximum (MB): 3x the amount of RAM installed. 32-bit operating system has a limit of a maximum of 4GB page file.1GB of RAM or more- Initial size (MB): 1x the amount of RAM on your system.- Maximum (MB): 3x the amount of RAM installed. 32-bit operating system has a limit of a maximum of 4GB page file.Page file will not be bigger if you set its initial size to a size sufficient. Using the automatic option for the page file also will avoid or minimize the appearance of an error message "Out of Memory" when running many applications or opening a lot of data.
Provide initial size is too big also no negative impact on the system except waste space on your hard disk when not in use, and has nothing to do with performance. Then, how to know if the RAM is still enough or not?
How, to use the computer to move for several hours without a restart. After that look in Task Manager, in particular on the Performance tab. If the Commit Charge - Peak larger than Physical Memory - Total, then your system requires additional RAM. But if you use the option that the amount the page file is made automatically by the system, then Windows XP will automatically enlarge the page file for you.
The next problem that arises is, the maximum size of page file on 32-bit operating systems is 4GB. What if still less well? If you have more than one hard disk or partition on the computer, create a second page file on your hard disk. Windows uses an internal algorithm to determine where the page file is used to manage virtual memory optimally.
According to Microsoft, the optimal solution is to create a page file that is stored in the main system partition and create a page file again on another partition on your hard disk or partition that is rarely used.
Disable Indexing ServiceIndexing Service in Windows XP do the index on the files you to shorten the time when you do a search on your hard disk. For example, when you want to open a specific file or seek a sentence that is in a document file. However, the continuous indexing of the files on your hard disk it will reduce system performance because it uses the page file space in large numbers and also consume processor resources.
To disable the Indexing Service, open My Computer, then right click on the entire hard disk or partition that does not want you anymore index. Next, click Properties and then uncheck the "Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching" and click Apply. Then select "Apply changes to the sub folders and files". If there are files that can not be updated, just select "Ignore All".
Raising the Mouse Pointer SpeedBy default, Windows sets the speed of the mouse pointer at an average speed. Although pretty, sometimes it can slow down time when we need to move the cursor to different areas of the screen. Increasing the pointer speed will allow you to more quickly clack-click on the computer more efficiently without the need to move my hands a lot.
How to do this, click Start> Settings> Control Panel> Mouse. On the Pointer Options tab, in the Motion, drag the slider from 1 to 5 steps towards the option "Fast". Then put a check in the "Enhance pointer precision" and click OK. Supposedly, you can now move the mouse pointer without a lot of physical moving your mouse.
There is no definite setting for this option. Since you are using a computer, the speed of movement of the mouse pointer is not necessarily according to the settings used by other people. What is clear, the common mouse cheap mouse that is outdated or has a limited level of responsiveness. If raising the speed of the mouse pointer does not have much effect, it's time to replace the mouse.
Startup MenuThe options on the Startup menu (Start> Run> msconfig) is an application that will run every time you turn on the computer and go into the operating system. More and more check in there, the more it will slow your computer to work because the entire program is run, either directly or running in the background.
We recommend that you remove all the check that there is, except for security software such as antivirus, antispyware, firewall, etc. as well as applications that are very frequently used, such as instant messenger software or printer driver.Besides increasing the speed of the boot, clean check in the Startup menu will also improve system performance significantly. After all, if there is a deleted centangnya and it turns out you need, you can give the check back to the desired option.
If your computer is available on more than one user account, you can also set any applications that run at startup of different users. The trick is to select the User and the account you want to edit. But of course you need administrator rights to be able to do this.
Disk DefragmenterAfter a long use, and create or move data to a computer, the management of data placement on the hard disk on your system will fall apart. As a result, the hard disk will work harder to read and write data to the system. To tidy it up, Windows already has a Disk Defragmenter is adequate for the task.
How to use the double-click on My Computer, then right click on the drive or partition you want to defrag. For example, after right click on drive C:, click Properties> Tools and select Defragment Now and Defragement. Another way is from the Start menu> Run, type "dfrg.msc", then press Enter. Select the drive you want to defrag, then click Defragment.
Since Disk Defragmenter is very hungry for input-output operations on the system, then most likely you will fuss if did defragmenting while working. Should do the defrag when the computer will you leave it in a long time, eg at night before you go to bed.
Now, if this was still way too slow, try to see again your computer specs. Is it meet the needs of the Windows XP operating system? Do-do yet. If it is enough to meet and the steps above does not help, please use another way. For example, using software tweaking or format and reinstall.
