Corish Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 I'm wanting my PC faster it takes around 5 seconds to load up a picture, about 8 seconds for a song (Y) I removed a lot of shite the other night but it knackered up my msn so i restored it back to the other day, now I'm having trouble un installing s few things. So really what are the best *FREE* prgrams out there that will wipe shit off my pc and make it faster at loading pictures and things. Also while I'm here, When I open a picture thats on my Desktop, it comes up but says "No Preview Available." but if i drag it into "My Documents" it works even using the same program to view it (Windows Picture and Fax viewer or something) Thanks for any help corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corish Posted February 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Adaware Spybot S&D YOU look them up. ← Already have mate, I'm just looking for advice instead of filling up my pc with EXTRA SHITE Already have ad-aware, forgot to mension that. I'll try Spybot. thanks. anymore would be helpful corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomm Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 anymore would be helpful ← start>run>msconfig Uncheck stuff you don't think you need from the startup tab. I only have 6 or so things in there. If you have more, it's slowing the computer down. Don't worry about deleting too many. If you delete stuff you shouldn't have, you can put it back. Spybot is generally a bit better than Adaware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 You can probably keep all of them. I'm not gonna look them all up individually, but there isn't too many of them. Out of those however, I don't think you really need the Winamp Agent (Winampa). Doesn't really do much... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tank_rider Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 my advice would be to run the windows disc cleanup, then try fragmenting your drives, to get all the data in order. I am still yet to find a decent free alternative to windows defragmenter, i know that the norton systemworks one is better but i lost my copy of that ages ago (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMonkey Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 What if I took em all off? corish ← Nothing happens, but I currently have unremovable spyware so I'm in a similar boat of f**king pain and death. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nb88 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Run ad-aware, spybot, norton antivirus or similar, windows disk cleanup and defragmenter. If you really want the maximum speed though, format everything and do a fresh install of the things you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 If you have a large hard disk partion it into 2. I have mine setup as the following... C: 25Gb - Windows + stuff that needs installing D: 124Gb - Music, Movies, Etc, Etc That way when i come to the time where windows is getting old and knackered just format C: and all your data is safe on D: no backing up required (Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use a program called 'Partition magic' for partitions corish, but its not free (unless you umm...download it (Y) ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishwog Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 You shouldn't advise someone to use MSConfig if they know sod all about computers...... :P Just wipe your PC and start fresh. But try to KEEP it clean, if you wonder about whether or not to add something onto your PC, then google it, look on bit-tech.net, OR you've always got me on your MSN to ask.

So, how do I get my pics on the desktop working with "Windows Fax and Picture Viewer" ?? thanks corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomturd Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Done that, but what are the ones I need to keep; Heres the 'still' ticked ones: ccApp SOUNDMAN - Thats my sound card drivers (I think well it was called that when I installed the drivers) jusched MsgPlus - Msn plus obviously winampa NvCpl MsgPlus - Plugin for messenger I think. msnmsgr ← ccApp is norton apparently. Uncheck it and just manually run norton every week or however long if your worried about virus', at the moment its checking for viruses every time you open a file and stuff. Infact id uncheck them all except msnmsgr, ONE of the MsnPlus's and NvCpl (apparently something to do with your graphics). If your soundcard doesnt work after that, check it back in :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will format whole PC anyway soon, just transfer some files over MSN to my adsd pc which is hooked up to the internet through my pc with en ethernet cable so it will go very very fast, already tested and its SUPER FAST things like 1000Mb in like 3 seconds or so :sick: corish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
