The majority of the computers I have seen were not running at their full potential. Here are some ways to speed up your computer and internet connection.
1. Removing Startup Items
Go to Start then Run, then type in MSconfig and press enter.
This should open the System Configuration Utility.
If you haven't used this before "Normal Startup" should be selected. If it isn't, that means someone has been in here before you and made everything the way they wanted which is probably the way it should be so I reccomend that you get out of that now.
If Normal Startup is selected change it to Selective Startup and uncheck "Load Startup Items".
Go to the "Startup" tab at the top and make sure that there are no programs in that list that you need running ALL the time. If there is, just check those.
Go back to the General tab at the top. press "Apply" then "close".
You should be prompted to restart. It's your choice now or later, but the changes won't take effect until you do.
2. Reducing browser cache size.
In Internet Explorer-
1.Go to the Tools menu and select Internet Options
2.Click Settings under Temporary Internet Files
3.Under "Amount of Disk Space to Use" put something in between 5-80 megabytes. 5 is to little and 80 is too much. I recommend 35.
In Netscape-
1. Go to the Edit menu and select Preferences.
2. go to the Advanced category and select Cache
3. Change the cache to something between 5-80 megabytes, I reccomend 35.
