Adam Davis" Subject: Re: [OT:] Windows XP intermittent performance To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU In-Reply-To: Precedence: list I usually use ad aware to find and kill the majority of spy/mal/adware type programs, and then a good virus program. Then you should disconnect any network drives you are not actively using (often XP will attempt to scan the drive tree when you open any file explorer window, which happens every time you save/open/etc) The only other time consumers I've found have been related to the individual program you're trying to interact with, or in some cases a driver problem (a scanner, for instance, which isn't connected but the driver keeps attempting communication with it which times out and blocks) But in nearly every case where people have payed me to 'fix' their machines, I've been able to: Run an up to date virus scan Run an adware removal tool Remove all programs not currently used Remove all drivers/devices not currently used Reduce number of items on desktop (no more than maybe a dozen) Run windowsupdate (load all critical patches) Turn on the built in firewall Set internet explorer and OExpress to high security settings (no executable attachments - few home users /need/ them) * other stuff In some case, on slower computers, I also reduce display candy, and remove the desktop background (which consumes an astonishingly huge amount of processor time to redraw...) I've yet to see an XP machine that doesn't speed up significantly after this. If that doesn't do the trick, then write down all the programs you use with their license information, backup your data, email, etc (can use the system transfer wizard to backup up nearly everything to a CD) and then reload from scratch. -Adam * Other stuff: Tell them to disallow their kids from loading any sort of music sharing software such as kazaa If they are somewhat computer savvy, explain to them how using a different browser, such as Mozilla, would limit their exposure, and then install it for them - setting it as the default for browsing.

Generally speaking, it runs fine for a few days and then will all at once (normally on a reboot) get into a slow motion state where it takes forever to boot, logon, open a folder, etc, sometimes to the point where it is completely useless. I then go through a regimen of defragging and running various Norton Systemworks tools, etc which typically will bring it back to life for a few days, in which it performs very well and then the cycle repeats itself. In this process I have also turned off the fancy display settings, disabled unnecessary services, set my paging file to one large constant file size, etc. > >Yesterday I had a major slowdown (couldn't even program a PIC with the damned thing), defragged my system dri *** MESSAGE TRUNCATED *** .. .
