Dan just had to kick the list server back into operation. I guess my post
today was lost, so here it is again:
--------------------------
Has anyone ever tried something like this little utility to make a windows
OS boot and run faster by disabling programs that have been set to load at
boot?:
Startup Faster 2004 2.4.1
http://www.download.com/Startup-Faster-2004/3000-2094_4-10449673.html?tag=lst-4-10
I just reloaded and old XP image on my desktop, and am now able to play and
do work with multimedia programs that the old 800MHz system was having
problems with. XP had become extremely slow and problematic, and the
difference before and after restoring the image is like day and night. But
capturing high resolution video is still a problem.
I used to be able to CTRL-ALT-DEL, and stop all apps running in the
background to free up enough system resources to get audio, video and
graphics programs to run faster.
But I installed a copy of Norton Internet Security after loading the XP
image, and now can't get all of its components to unload. I disabled 3
items related to it in MSCONFIG and rebooted. But after reboot, TaskManger
still shows a number of related Symantec programs running that refuse to be
shut down.
I don't suppose anyone knows if it's at all possible to disable all of the
Norton Internet Security functions at boot. Support for Norton apps has
gotten terrible since Symantec bought them out. Maybe I ought to post over
in the Compuserve forums too.
Thx,
Matt
