• 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.

• Windows Vista Firewall: Uncheck basic network layout would make my computer more secure on the Public network?

  I use the Public network a lot.  I noticed that on my Windows Vista firewall, Core Networking is checked on by default.  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure on the Public network?  I already checked in my firewall settings, block all incoming connections.  Regarding security, I run MSE, like Spyware Blaster in the background.  Automatic updating and Malware Protection are on.  My other security settings are OK.  I do not understand why Core Networking is checked on by default.  This would make an open port, right?  Unchecking it would make my computer more secure?  Thank you.

  Hello

  If you uncheck Core Networking IPv4 and IPv6 will be unreliable or blocked.

  You have a router, a firewall (today, most have them) which is excellent protection
  for your network against external influences. In addition, Windows Firewall.

  Windows Vista Networking-
  http://TechNet.Microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb742618.aspx

  Better to use WPA/WPA2 security if they are available and you can hide the SSID that will help
  help others to see the network (note on some routers more hide the SSID)
  causes of connection problems and if they find out the name he is more useful).

• How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen?

  Original title: How to sleep in the login screen?

  How can I make the computer sleep after 5 minutes of inactivity on the logon screen? Currently, on the login screen, white screen, but the computer is still running. Sleeping would save a lot of energy because the computer is used most of the time.

  Hi Phil.Ganchev,
   
  Using a laptop or a desktop computer?
   
  The reason for this question is, if you have a plugged AC adapter you must set power accordingly as opposed to laptop settings battery operated.
   
  I suggest you head over to the power settings and create your own power management.
   
  a. power by clicking on the Start button, open the Options click on the Control Panel, clicking system and security, and then clicking Power Options.
  
  (b) according to the plan you want to change, click on change plan settings.
  
  c. on the parameters of change in the plan page, choose "Put the computer to sleep" that you want to use when your computer is running on battery (if applicable) and when it is plugged.
  (Change in 5 minutes for the batteries and sector)

  It is absolutely essential that any new module of RAM is fully compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other module of RAM already in the system.  In addition, there are sometimes jumper switches on old motherboards that need to be reset for new configurations of the RAM.  Consult the manual of your motherboard or the web site of the manufacturer for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

  If you can't get your hands on the manual of the computer and the manufacturer does not provide a support web site, you can use these utilities to help determine the right kind of RAM required:

  To identify what loads when you start using Autoruns (freeware from Microsoft).

  http://www.Microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/ProcessesAndThreads/Autoruns.mspx

  With Autoruns, you can deselect an item which disables startup, or you can click with the right button on an item, then remove it. If you clear the check box that you can check back for re - activate the element. It is an approach much safer than editing the registry and better than using msconfig.

  Another useful feature of the program is that you can click with the right button on an item and select search online to get information about the selected item.

  Be very careful that you disable.  I must say that I have disabled the update of Google because it was a real pain he having to download updates on a daily basis.  These Adobe updates are a pain as well, and if you miss a couple of them, it will not be a big deal.  Complete PDF and Logitech camera software updates should be safe to turn off, but I doubt if that would save a lot.  Be sure to not very many changes at once so that if something goes wrong, you have a good idea of what caused it.

  Good luck.
