    • Faster processor.
    • Fastest hard drive.
    • Faster or more RAM/memory.
    • Less things loading at startup.
    • Appropriate and the most recent hardware device drivers.

    In XP, you can cleanup and optimize it in some way, by using the following tips:

    Search for malware:

    Download, install, execute, update and perform analyses complete system with the two following applications:

    Remove anything they find.  Reboot when necessary.  (You can uninstall one or both when finished.)

    Search online with eSet Online Scanner.

    Use Autoruns to understand this all starts when your computer's / when you log in.  Look for whatever it is you do not know using Google (or ask here.)  You can hopefully figure out if there are things from when your computer does (or connect) you don't not need and then configure them (through their own built-in mechanisms is the preferred method) so they do not - start using your resources without reason.

    You can download and use Process Explorer to see exactly what is taking your time processor/CPU and memory.  This can help you to identify applications that you might want to consider alternatives for and get rid of all together.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

    It is possible that you have corrupted cache files; You can try to delete the cache folder and check if that helps. You can also temporarily disable your firewall and check if all of the parameters of the firewall is a cause.

    Help!  I did an update recommended this morning... There were 2... not computer saavy, so do not know what they were called. But, it has changed our e-mail window & I do not like change. Also, if I scan a picture to send by e-mail, something which is called SkyDrive is used and it cuts the top of each scan on my end and the recipient, & on end recip, it shows pictures too small to see how no matter how much detail & they can't find a way to enlarge it. I need to this scan and send to work.  I can somehow get rid of these windows updates?  If this is not the case, can I at least get rid of the sky drive so we use it not for a scanned image? We use Windows Live Mail, so when I saw Windows Live for the update, I thought it was just for the e-mail program and I had to do. However, I had to sign up for Windows Live, & I have no need of all _'s done it now.  I want my old program back without losing anything that is stored in the process, like electronic program records complete. If I knew it wasn't an update of simple e-mail program, I never would have it.

    I don't want all the other stuff that comes with the essentials.

    I have Windows Live Essentials on my computer and I do not run or use all that and it doesn't cause problems for me, so one option would be to simply not use the other stuff.  The only negative I can think of is that it would take place a small amount of space on your hard drive. The other option would be to uninstall the things you don't want.  You can go to the control panel > uninstall a program and select Windows Live Essentials and then click on the Uninstall button very early during the uninstall of the process and you will see a window where you can select individual within Windows Live Essentials to uninstall programs.
