speed up pc performance ?

[jayanta_sarkar]

is there any software that really speed up windows performance ??

[skghosh44]

I dont know if there is such software available or not. But u can do something like removing unnecessary registry entries through CCleaner.
Disk defrag atleast once in a month. unnecessary programme which are running in background. If u are able to find out that file.
Lets see what other say,

METHOD 1
1. go to start
2. click "RUN"
3. type "MSCONFIG"
4. goto startup tab
5. deselect all
6. goto services tab
7. click hide all microsoft services
8. click deselect all
9. click OK 7 RESTART


METHOD 2
1. key press "WINDOWS+PAUSEBREAK"
2. goto advanced tab
3. click setting under performance
4. tick - setting for best performance and then make sure only 7th, 8th and last 2 options are ticked
5. OK

and there u go with doubly speeded BRAND NEW WINDOWS

I would disagree with the first method.msconfig is meant for troubleshooting.Disable startup apps from within the program itself.

troubleshooting ?
wud u plz elaborate wat do u mean by troubleshootin in dis context only

I dont think number of OS installed has anything to do with system performance.

[Cool G5]

Installing more than 2 os doesn't degrade system performance.It's just a myth.

[QwertyManiac]

What he probably meant was that Dual-Boot timeouts slow your PC down.

[Cool G5]

^u mean the 30 sec before the default os is started?BTW one can always select the required os to cut down the time.
