Hello. Using Win7 home premium. First you can't change the services settings in any Win7 version below home premium.
Second, I did go to a few sites as mentioned below, used that plus a paid PC services professional to maximize the crap services you can disable without it being noticeable to you other than better performance. I believe my list is the most aggressive yet without being over the top aggressive such that your PC perf /Wifi etc is affected. If someone wants that list pl ping me directly at [email protected]. thx. yes I d Prateek -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dan Rossi Sent: Monday, November 14, 2011 6:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] msconfig and the services tab You should do a google search for windows, your OS, services "turn off" You will get a number of web sites with explanations of every service, what it does, and weather or not it is a good idea to turn it off. I have an old PC, very little RAM, very old and slow CPU. But, by ruthlessly turning off every service I didn't need, like print spoolers and such, removing every possible program from startup, stripping out every possible item from the Windows config, all keeping security in mind, I was able to run that box for years beyond what all the recommended parameters said I could run. IE, I was able to run later versions of JAWS and Internet Explorer, even though there was only 384 meg of ram on the box. You do need to be very careful about what services and programs you shut down though. Some of them are important to the proper functioning of the system, or even for the security of your system. -- Blue skies. Dan Rossi Carnegie Mellon University.
