How can I make my computer starts more quickly?
It takes an average of 82 seconds to start it is generally faster, I deleted some startup programs and msconfig I tried, but is still slow
Hello
Keep an eye on the programs that want to load in start like many do not really
need to be there. As the Auto program slow updaters (Flash, Java and other)
the trunk down and you can manually check for those. Some programs will be
start-up so they will be faster start that is not that big a question on fast machines of today.
Of course those that also contribute to ensure that you only use them. So startup cleaner
(for example, WinAMP, Real Player and other media players) unless your desire or need them for
be there.
I hope this helps.

How can I make my computer run more efficiently?
Hello
Okay, so I asked recently how I could make my computer faster. I have a Compaq Presario SR1601NX with HP ha17 monitor. It runs Windows XP Home Edition with Service Pack 3. I installed CCleaner and Defraggler on my computer. I use CCleaner at least twice a week, especially after using the internet. I also run Defraggler at least twice a month. In addition, I have Microsoft Security Essentials, that I keep up to date, as I do with Windows Firewall, automatic updates and Virus protection. I went through and remove all programs that I don't use, and I run chkdsk, find no problem. After you run CCleaner and Defraggler, my computer seems a bit faster. However, after some time, it is once more quite slow. Anyone know anything else I can do to make my computer run faster and more efficiently. I don't want to clutter up my machine with random programs. I'm also looking for things I can do for free. I prefer to buy a new computer than to invest money in my only current. It is just better to buy a new one? If so, what kind of computer should I get in? Any information will be greatly appreciated.

CCleaner is a program to eliminate the stuff that you don't need, and so
save you disk space; It really doesn't do anything to improve
performance. Maybe defragment the hard drive can speed things up
some, but how effective is it is depends on how you use your computer.With very few exceptions, all the programs that are designed to speed up your
computer is nothing but snake oil powder and are likely to be a problem.
I recommend that avoid you them like the plague.Without a lot more details, it is very difficult to know what is causing your
problem, but maybe you run modern software and your former
Material XP - era is really too slow for her.
With Windows XP support this ending coming April, purchase a new
computer and run the latest version of Windows (Windows 8)
probably makes the most sense. It will give you a modern material and a
supported Windows version. -

HOW CAN I MAKE MY COMPUTER BURN CDS AGAIN?
I TRIED TO BURN CD, BUT FOR SOME REASON ANY, WHENEVER I HAVE IT TRY STARTS TO BURN, BUT THEN I GET AN X NEXT TO ALL THE SONGS AND THE ERROR MESSAGE ME SAID TO TRY TO CLEAN THE CD USING A NEW ONE OR DO BURN AT A LOWER SPEED AND I ALREADY DID ALL THAT BUT IT STILL THE SAME OR SOMETIMES WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER STOPS ON ITS OWN OR IT ME SAID CONNECT A BURNER AND RESTART THE PLAYER... WHAT SHOULD I DO?
Hello
Please do not type in capital letters because it's difficult to read and considered to be shouting.
You have disk problems as the CD/DVD is actually 4 discs in 1 case (CD & DVD burning and)
Playback of CD and DVD). So it is not unusual for parts from 1 or 2 to not work so that others do
correctly.Used speed, the actual brand of discs, burning and if file Live or mastered all come into
play. A cleaning disc can sometimes help.CD/DVDs have a tolerance + - and your can read/write on the edge outside these discs
tolerances. They may be delivered, but it is generally more economical to replace the disk.===========================================
This troubleshooting could not help if there is alignment and/or wear issues however it
a shot.Step 1: Please do all the same underneath if you did some before as is often total
a process that solves the problem.Try this - Panel - Device Manager - CD/DVD - double click on the device - driver tab.
Click on update drivers (this will probably do nothing) - RIGHT click ON the drive - uninstall.
RESTART this will refresh the default driver stack. Even if the reader does not appear to continue
below.
Then, work your way through these - don't forget the drive might be bad, could be a coward
cable or slight corrosion on the contacts (usually for a laptop) and other issues.Your CD or DVD drive is missing or is not recognized by Windows or other programs
