Clean And Optimize Your New Computer
Nov 21, 2009When you buy a new computer it is often loaded with extra software that you just don’t need. OEMs are paid by software companies to bundle trial versions in hopes that you will buy the full product. The preloaded junk is a waste of disk space, memory and can even hurt the performance of your new computer so it is a good idea to remove it all.
View 9 Replies View RelatedOptimize - Free From Fragmentation
Sep 29, 2007I've been trying to optimize my XP system to run as good as it possibly can, free from fragmentation, junk files, spyware etc. I've come up with a few programs that I want to ask people about. Spybot S&D 1.5 (the new one), Advanced Windows Care, CCleaner, and Glary Utilities. I have on my computer, only AWC because it can do almost all of what CCleaner does and it also has something similar to the "Immunize" function in Spybot and I heard it's bad to have more than one of those kinds of things happening at once. Could someone let me know how many of these programs I can or should be running? Are they all able to run fully (meaning that I'm able to immunize in Spybot and immunize in AWC and Glary for example) together, or are there some that I can't run if I am running others.

Nov 2, 2006I have used Bootvis in the past with no problems. Today I tried bootvis optimize and it told me to restart like normal, only this time right before windows would have the Login Screen pop up, the computer restarts. Safe mode works great, so I am thinking that Bootvis has some sort of sequence it wants to execute during bootup which is causing a problem. How can I stop bootvis from trying to work on my boot files during boot up

View 14 Replies View RelatedClean Compact - Optimize Registry
Dec 15, 2005The Microsoft Windows registry is a hierarchical database of system configuration data. Many of the programs written for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms require data from the registry. This means it is used often, and some programs really like to hammer the registry. Running a program such as SysInternal's RegMon, which logs access to the registry, can show you just how much some programs make use of the registry. Even Explorer, the file browser built into Windows, makes heavy use and this can have wide impact on performance
