The simplest ways to improve your computer performance

Most often, we might irritated by slow performance of computer while doing some stuff or process. There are many ways to improve computer performance just that we lazy to do it. These are some simple ways to helping your computer running faster for Window XP users. Remember you need to set up once only, the easy ways are describe as follows:

1. Clear pagefile when system is shut down
To reduce the usage of RAM in computer, Windows has designed in such a way to use system pagefile to swap pages of memory to disk when they are not used which we called virtual memory pagefile.

Although the advantages lead to a more secure system as the pagefile is wiped out every time, but it will slow down the overall computer performance. In fact, Windows allow users to clear all pagefile when shutting down computer. Even though this practice could slow down the shutting down process, but it really can make our computer running faster. The other reason we need to clear the pagefile is to avoid sensitive information being access by unauthorized users.

Detailed steps as follows:

• Go to “Control Panel” via “Start” option and click on “Administrative Tools”. Then click on “Local Security Policy”.


• In the “Local Security Policy” setting page, choose on “Local Policies”.


• There are two panel in the setting up, go to right panel and search and choose the “Shut down:Clear Virtual Memory PageFile” option.

• Double click / right click > properties then enable the option and apply it.

2. Disable Indexing Service
Windows XP will use build index for all the files and content inside computer. This indexing Service is a base service for extracts content from files and constructs an indexed catalog to facilitate efficient and rapid searching. Unfortunately, this indexing service would slow down the computer performance. If you want to disable this feature, just follow the below steps to accomplish the mission.

Detailed steps as follows:

• Go to “Start” and choose “Run” option.


• Type in “services.msc” in the open field at Run form. Another way is go to Control panel > Administrative Tools >Services.


• At the right panel of the services setting page, search and click on “Indexing service” option.




• The Indexing Services Properties (Local Computer) will be popped up as below screenshot, you may go to “General” tab and select “Manual” from the “Startup type” field. The system will take effect after you click on “Apply” button.

3. Disable Error Reporting
This Windows Error Reporting supposedly is the set of feedback technologies built-in to Microsoft Windows to capture software crash and hang data from end-users who agree to report it. System will pop up the windows to ask whether users want to report the problems to Microsoft or not. Sometimes, we may feel annoying on this practice of doing the same option always. Why not to turn off the option if you really do not need this offer? The method is described as follows:

Detailed steps as follows:

• Right click on “My computer” icon, go to “System properties”.


• Go to “Advanced” tab at the “System properties” form.


• Select the “Error Reporting” button which placed at the bottom of the form.
  




• Tick on the “Disable error reporting” and activate the “But notify me when critical errors occur”. Afterwards, click on “Ok” button to complete this task.
