What is the FAQ about? (#7687)		(back)
This FAQ was created by me, to help other computer users efficiently use the system resources they have available. All of the following information applies to the configuration of Windows XP Home Edition. If anyone has information on optimizing configurations for their Windows system, please feel free to contact me & I will add the section to the FAQ. WARNING If you feel uncomfortable about changing these settings do NOT proceed, feedback form by Maggs last modified: 2003-07-03 19:48:49
Why do I need to alter my configuration? (#7689)		(back)
In order to optimize the performance of your Windows system, you should only run Windows services that are the essential components of the software or hardware you use. By running services that are not required on your PC, you can cause your PC to crash by overloading the system with tasks to be completed. This can be avoided by disabling services for the programs you do NOT use. feedback form by Maggs last modified: 2003-07-06 23:04:52
