| 1135837 | 2010-09-09 11:39:00 | E.G. Turn off un-necessary services, anything? | Question (15792) | ||
| 1135838 | 2010-09-09 11:57:00 | You could always go here for some ideas:- http://www.blackviper.com/ As always my advice is that if it's not broken don't fix it! Otherwise uninstall programs you don't use if it's a brand name PC which very often comes with a pile of trials and the likes of Norton for example. |

| 1135840 | 2010-09-09 20:38:00 | Also list your system spec's as win7 on a older comp is not going to run as quick as a newer spec machine | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1135841 | 2010-09-09 20:43:00 | Also your Windows Experience Score under Performance in Control Panel | Lawrence (2987) | ||
| 1135842 | 2010-09-09 20:50:00 | Disable windows search, you dont need it. Remove anything in windows features, you dont need /want | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1135843 | 2010-09-09 21:15:00 | Agree with the second suggestion "Remove anything in windows features, you dont need /want" But not always the search, I use it every day, and I know lots of other people that do as well, it works good when used correctly, and to be honest I have not seen any speed difference between it on /off. |

| 1135844 | 2010-09-09 21:26:00 | As well as turn off unnecessary services under msconfig | Renmoo (66) | ||
| 1135845 | 2010-09-10 00:26:00 | Uninstall Windows, replace with Puppy Linux...sorted :D | KarameaDave (15222) | ||
| 1135846 | 2010-09-10 00:36:00 | NOT a good idea turning services off under msconfig. If you want to disable any, disable them under services. This applies to XP, Vista or Win7 | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
