Question the performance of Windows XP CD repair

If I run my XP CD and do a repair I'll lose my programs files and application data?

No, your data and programs should remain intact. If possible, a backup of the data must exist before you begin a catastrophic failure.

  • Optimize the performance of Windows 8.1

    Hi all

    I bought a HP Envy dv6 (including Windows 8) in November 2012.

    For all those people who have good experiences with Windows 8.1... I was wondering what software you used to optimize performance?

    In the past I had good experiences with...

    Avast

    Advanced System Care 6

    CCleaner

    IObit Malware Fighter

    Driver boost

    However, in Windows 8, it seems that some of them were because of issues with apps from metro.  I had to reset my computer to factory settings countless times because for some reason any my metro apps can not maintain an INTERNET CONNECTION.

    You guys are using any antivirus software or registry/maintenance software to optimize the performance of your PC which has not caused any problems?  Leave the windows firewall "on" your best option for protection?

    Chrome or Internet Explorer?

    Make adjustments to settings PC (like the game "never notify" in the settings of the user account, etc.)?

    What are some software 'must have' that you found useful?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello!

    Thanks for posting in the forum to Support HP and you thank for your trust in HP!

    I'll try to answer some of your questions:

    For all those people who have good experiences with Windows 8.1... I was wondering what software you used to optimize performance?

    No, it works well on its own. Less you hit, the better. 3 party registry cleaners and optimizers should be used with caution by people with advance knowledge on the subject. More 3rd party (most, not all) optimizers are causing problems more than fix. Remove unnecessary programs, defrag automatically or auto (so HARD, not so SSD drive), run Disk Clean up, clear Temp folder.

    Avast

    Advanced System Care 6

    CCleaner

    IObit Malware Fighter

    Driver boost

    These I wouldn't use one of them.

    You guys are using any antivirus software or registry/maintenance software to optimize the performance of your PC which has not caused any problems?  Leave the windows firewall "on" your best option for protection?

    Light antivirus is ESET and clean of Windows Defender. Windows Firewall (firewall) is essential (critical) part of any system, computer security, network, so it must be turned on. To do this, * no * slow down your computer or your * network * traffic.

    Being without firewall you leave at the open to pirate computer/malware attacks and risk huge data.

    Antivirus software is also a kind of essential program to protect against known and unknown malware attacks. Windows Defender is integrated in Windows 8/8.1 if you don't like it, you can try ESET NOD32, Norton Antivirus...

    Chrome or Internet Explorer?

    They are both very light when it comes to performance. I personally chose IE 10 (my favorite - in win 7 and 8) and IE11. But that's my opinion. Use what suits you best. IE is very safe and stable in the latest versions of Windows. That is to say, I prefer because it is the 1st part, made from Microsoft and works.

    Make adjustments to settings PC (like the game "never notify" in the settings of the user account, etc.)?

    User account control is also very good part of the guarantee. In fact, it helps the principle of "least privilege" security and helps your programs to run with the least amount of law they can. I recommend that you use the value default level3 or the more level '4 always notify when. User account control can help you prevent malicious attacks / viruses / threats.

    What are some software 'must have' that you found useful?

    In my opinion, there is no such thing as software should be - everyone installs and uses what they need. Statistics show that most people (98% or more) use Microsoft Office. Many have some archivers zip/rar as 7-zip, video software like VideoLAN, etc... It depends on what you need. Antivirus software...

  • 'Dimmed' how is the performance of Windows 7 on ESXi 5.1?

    I've never used ESXi. I am considering establishing a laboratory box because soon I will have to deal with ESX on a customer site and also because it looks like very cool software.

    I consider my software development office, which is windows 7, running on this box ESXi. I don't think that my needs are very intense about the software, I starts the day on this day. ESXi box would have a latest i7 processor with more power than the autonomous area, that I use now.

    The question is: how performance would lose I running Windows 7 on ESXi compared to a normal installation? The ESXi server would have 32 GB of ram and I would probably devote 16 GB to this workstation vm, which is what he has now on the dedicated area.

    I would like to see the 'plan' as viable, as long as I don't see a drop off the coast in the performance.

    It runs very well.  You won't see any significant performance decrease.

    In fact, you will probably see a performance increase based on new material.  * Make sure your new ESXi server is on the HCL.

  • Number indicating that this computer runs slowly and asking if I want to move to the base to improve the performance of windows.

  • Question the button of Windows Hotstart - Equium A210

    Can someone enlighten me on the 6 multimedia keys above the keyboard of my laptop Equium A210? I already had from another portable non-Toshiba which had a similar set up. In an engine off the coast of the State, if I pressed the multimedia button, windows media Center started without having to start the full operating system.

    With my satellite notebook, if I press the multimedia keys, media center application or the application of internet explorer opens but only after a full system startup. Is there anyway that my satellite can be changed so that when I press the media button - only the media Center starts and not whatever!

    This is right. The controls buttons Toshiba Launches the Windows media player or other applications like IE once Windows has finished loading.

    Like some other Toshiba Qosmio series laptops or another series is delivered and equipped with the Qosmio player or Express Media Player.
    These players can be looked at separately, without having to start Notepad in Windows operating system.

    How can I improve my computer with hush 2 t discs full of stuff?

    Yes - well - you said you have 2 TB of stuff and research/research of virus could affect all the files you have / designate to the touch.  Defragment and CHKDSK would take time as well - because you have 2 TB of things.  However, every day use applications, etc. should not be affected by your disks are.

    It's like having a nice, well-made workbook... Opening the drawers is not really more difficult as long as the drawers are not too filled where something can hang on a mechanism - but when you start to look for a certain file or find another reason to finger - per each page in a certain drawer (or the entire workbook) - it takes time.

    Can help your processor speed, the amount of memory can help, have indexed the whole disc will help with research (just as with applications other than those built into Windows - there are better there, IMHO) - but analysis all virus files - this isn't something you can accelerate much and will be determined by the speed of the drive the size and the location/organizing files and tastes.

    Wants best performance on a drive - get a SSD, or three or more quickly from SATA and RAID them together.  This will help the speed of these things.

  • Deleting files facilities previous windows, using disk cleanup will disrupt the performance of windows 7?

    I have very little space on the hard drive (about 7gbts) and can win 9.3gbts by removing the previous installation files. However, I don't know if I can do it without the laptop unusable. Any solid info on the subject would be greatly appreciated.

    Files left by previous installations are just a backup in case something does not work
    work properly after reinstalling (resettlement "repair/upgrade") and they can be deleted once
