Get bootvis tool from microsoft download site. Turn off services you never use, remote assistance etc | rsnic (3780) | ||

| 155977 | 2003-07-05 02:34:00 | I completely wiped out windows a week ago with a fresh install. No more slow bloated SP1. Made a huge difference! My computer works really nice now :) I'll stick with no patches and a good firewall until Msoft bring out SP2 or something. So, go for a fresh install of Xp, and don't update if you like performance :p |

Also you are leaving your self-wild open to hackers & viruses & other bad things… Also viruses can close down your firewall. Here is one of the BIG hole that SP 1 fixes (grc.com) & also under SP 1 you can run different Programs which will not run on XP before SP 1 was release. |

| 155980 | 2003-07-05 07:52:00 | Thanks Stu, I downloaded the Xpidite, and Plug n Play fix and ran them. I know I might be slightly at risk, but I would much prefer that, than have a bogged down computer. I need all the processing powa I can get :) | PoWa (203) | ||
