Let's discuss the conditions of our computers!

[A Forgotten Legend]

I use:
My Grandfather's desktop (XP),
My Grandmother's laptop (XP),
My Dad's desktop (XP),
and my dumb computer with Windows 98 First Edition (with no internet access) in my room.  I can barely use it for anything.  And my midis don't sound very good on it.  It makes me sad.

oh yea if anyone remembers when I made a topic long ago about building my own pc and asking for advise, that pc in that pic is the pc I built it was fun and I learned a lot.

I don't get it...Chi's almost brand new (bought Chi on December 28), and I defragment Chi on average 2-3 times a week (have System mechanic professional), but Chi's.......really.......slow to turn on! And, on Saturday, after a whole evening of playing emulators, watching 3 anime episodes, and a few hibernations in-between, Chi...wouldn't turn off....


....I couldn't have downloaded THAT much anime/pics/'H', can I? I mean...it says I've got about 19% of my total memory left on Chi. WTF?!

Go into your start menu, and select Run. Run "msconfig" and look under the "startup tab"

(if its a PC of course)


Check everything thats running in a google search to see if its a necessary process.

Make sure the box is Not ticked off if its not necessary.

This is a fun way of finding annoying hidden spyware and viruses and crap too

Djanki....Do you have an excess of like, Movies or Music?

Go through everything in safe mode. Go on a deletion binge if you have to.


And when all else fails, Reformatting is nice sometimes.

You know...it may be the movies and music....

I might want to buy an external hard-drive next month...


....Reformatting? Wuzzat?

[HackersTotalMassLaser]

Killing your pc, and giving it life again.

Or, pretty much wiping out everything from it so you can start it fresh.

I use that as last resort on viruses, even though its recommended to do every 3-5 months or so.

I haven't done a reformat in about 3 years, i hate loosing stuff cauuse well I am a pack rat.

I just Back up the essentials and then have fun robbing my unit of its soul
