Part 1: Windows From Clean Install To Efficiency

[AwsambTheGr8]

Thanks this really helped me out!

[bladejsc1997]

Another reason to use win-rar is to make portable programs... Don't ask me how watch a video if you want to make one... To many steps.

[defendant420]

Oh forgot to ad, I did all this a few weeks ago and it's still running smooth and fast.

[defendant420]

!st of all Thankyou!I doubled my speed to 9273 kbps, but ad block plus made my pc run like shit!!!! I re-installed windows xp and did all the steps over then put "Firefox Preloader" instead and It was a lot more ideal for me.Thanks again.

[eArtrash]

ad block plus = googles worst nightmare!

[defendant420]

ad block plus KICKS ASS!!!!! Thanks for the upload.Myspace is SO FRIGGIN CRAZY ASS FAST NOW!!!

[M2SEntertainment]

linux is wack

[iRtehSHIZ]

"Flash Shit" Haha!

In a hurry were we?

[NWCollapse419]

this isnt for vista is it?

[DominatorMatrix]

Its mostly except network and other things.

[soulisland]

virtual memory is increased if windows needs it any way?

[darthirakli]

yep, just letting Windows automatically manage the virtual memory size is the best thing to do in most cases.

[lucario101trainer]

is softwarepatch safe?

[thesoftwarepatch]

Yes. The site has been running for about 10 years. Drop me a line if you have any safety issues - the best contact address is on the site.

[Rangerscott69]

On some "services", if I turn them off, I cant open the program like O&O defrag. I have to turn it back on, reboot, then it'll work.

Is there any way to leave that service off and be able to turn it on with out having to turn it back on in msconfig and reboot?

[slashsnemesis]

for a firefox extension i really recommend easyGestures. you can have the back button, forward button, etc. with a click of your mouse and within 2 centimeters too.

[miczpower19]

good video jimmy^^y

[miczpower19]

hey you people don't comment if your comment for him is not good were friends and were a member on this youtube website!dont be jelous of him!...

[mani544]

Hi im have problem whit CClean up im cant u instal it....

[hockeyfreak827]

I have a Imac. What I don't like about Imac's is PC's can download allot more then Imac's.

[frvfilms]

chrispilloww who??

he's got nothing on you! jimbo!

[groovyMysterioso]

Also, Jimmy, don't forget windows versions that have the bulk and crap "hacked" away. TONS of cleanliness and efficiency all up in those.

[theresnoaudio]

maybe not.

[theresnoaudio]

any suggestions on v. memory size. i have 2 1/2 gigs of ram. 80 gig hard drive split 65/15. 250 gig external hard drive. any suggestions. is there too high of a size?

[Hewson60]

Hi!

What size of virtual memory do you recommend if someone has 2048 MB of RAM?

[rob2859]

If you got pleanty of space just put its up loads.

[Hewson60]

Hi!

I have an external HDD. I can only see its content if I start it with Windows. If the computer is already on and I start the external HDD, I hear a sound (of opening hardware), but the external HDD is not in the workplace.

I formatted it, but it didn´t help. I reinstalled even Windows, but I still have the problem (maybe it was an error to let it connected).

Can you help me please?

[dexomus23]

impressive work mate

[pkhamidar2com]

this is real good

because i dont have half of these programs

and so this is real useful

but some of the, are not really useful, like inscape

=P

[hackersdream]

can i do this on windows vista, if so mail me on hackersdream.

[joelee7331]

you probably can unless this stuff isnt compatible on vista

[showmechris0]

Yes you can make your computer faster on windows vista.

Step 1. Delete windows vista.

Step 2. Get windows XP

Now your computer shoudl actually "work".

VISTA SUCKS!!

[hackersdream]

i know it sucks i use it

[legendarySS]

this fight is stupid xp will be out dated but both of them are good so stop saying vista sucks

[cheatonly2win]

@showmechris0 or, just get windows 7

[reeferdk]

Yeah.. but rar does more, also sort of "free"

[xlynx9]

Increasing your virtual memory will not usually make your computer faster. Windows can do this automatically anyway.

[reeferdk]

Winrar is the best in my opinion... but 7zip is also good

[Mrbleach36]

u guys have windows xp i have windows 2000 does that work for me reply..?

[DannyBurgoyne]

"I know a lot of you use Mac or Linux, but you do know somebody that uses Windows, and you probably will eventually have to work with a Windows computer."

I never thought I'd see the day...

[cyncmaster150]

Hey Jim, you ever used Optimizer XP? It optimizes your pc system to its best performance, and does a lot for making things such as your start menus and program tabs work faster.

You can find it at majorgeeks if you Google: (optimizer xp majorgeeks):)

[mohammedbaboor]

lol. 2:16 'Flash Shit'

[elmejormexicano1]

ahaha! didnt notice that! lol

[pjthepimmp]

WHAT Sapce on your computer is bigger?Giga Bites(GB) or Mega Bites(MB)

[CKyzOnLy]

1000, bytes is a mb, 1000 megabytes is a gigabyte, and 1000 gigabytes is a terribyte, gigabytes is bigger dude

[corebore13]

i saw a hard drive at best buy with 1 terribyte it was amazing, and only 300 bucks remember "only"

[mohammedbaboor]

8 bits is a byte, 1000 bytes is a kilobyte, 1000 kilobytes is a megabyte, 1000 megabytes is a gigabyte, 1000 gigabytes is a terribyte.. 1000 bytes is not a megabyte.

[G0DBANE]

8 bits per byte, 1024 bytes per kilobyte, 1024 KB per megabyte, 1024 MB per gigabyte, 1024 GB per terrabyte.

Note it's 1024 and not 1000. That's why you may get a 80 gig harddrive and it'll only really have 78.125 GB (80,000 MB).

[CKyzOnLy]

wow, dont go all awol with them numbers there dude

[schetleft]

GB but Terra bytes are bigger than GB

[xDxIxRxExCxTxOxR]

yea WAYYYYYYYYYYYYY bigger

TB 4 LIFE

[mohammedbaboor]

...wtf.. tb for life?... dude.. uh.. your gay

[mohammedbaboor]

no shit sherlock

[schetleft]

gave u a thumbs up cuz i like saying that =)

[mohammedbaboor]

haha i'll thumb you too =P

[patmysterio21]

um my current memeory is 1137 which is recommended by the computer. but when i changed it i think it got slowr

[RetroKingdomrules]

[RetroKingdomrules]

[Xbox360Overlord]

jimmyr pwns n00bs

[KilleRubberDucky]

now...jimmy jimmy jimmy....what would i do without you?

Great vid man.

[corebore13]

if you guys like the look of the start menus and stuff go down to the bottom one and click it...

[2112deuce]

just a quick question-- why firefox over internet explorer?

[jimmyrcom]

watch my firefox tutorials and you'll know

[2112deuce]

ok.. wow that was fast.

[TheTutorial]

One of your best!

[corebore13]

lol flash shit...

[DeeJaySantana]

About Opera (5:24) I have lots of crashes and delays from Opera. Only Firefox and Netscape is reliable, IMO. K-Meleon browser is something I think is also stable.

[ragnafake]

You should really do a nLite basic tutorial some time. I'm sure you know what it does, so I won't explain. That way people could do their own install discs with all their personal tweaks and programs already installed and applied.

[ragnafake]

Also Jimmy, I really dislike the way you put single frames of random cute animals or worse - Naruto into the middle of your latest videos. I can see its done to do some eye catching and "trick" some people into viewing your videos. But do you really need that? I think you and your videos are good enough without this. Its just annoying to me in the preview when browsing your videos.

Enough ranting, keep up the good work.

[jimmyrcom]

the annoyance lasts 1/30th of a second. Screen captures get worthless thumbnails. People can read the titles.

[darkmaster01]

is that dev-c++?

[clearevil]

the best!!!!!!!!!!!

[einc70]

I don't know about the others I'm just a newb to this. thanks for the tuts.....

[metalchriswpg]

Thank you keke44 for the post

[zumzer0]

Hedgehogboy3 = View=click Libraries Bar/Un-check Libraries Bar. The Clipbook is on the side, to hide=click Tools/Clipbook Prorerties/HIde/Hide Clilpbook.

[metalchriswpg]

Can someone explan whats wrong with using Internet explorer?

[jerommeke69]

Firefox is much better, that's all. It's explained why on the mozilla site I think.

[keke44]

internet explorer is a slower internet browser than browsers like opera or firefox. but firefox is pretty slow on startup. the problem with internet explorer is that internet uses too much services or sources to start or work. plug ins makes it slow and updating it adds it more things, makes it slower. theres the viruses problem too, some hardware viruses infects internet explorer by creating fake toolbars or plug-ins and activeXs. Opera and firefox are pretty imune to those.

[xildavar]

thats why lnternet explorer<firefox

[mohammedbaboor]

i have the shittiest computer anyone could ever have. so i just use ie6 but whenever i wanna download sumthing i just switch to firefox. i figure on a slow ass comp, firefor uses waaay too much ram and fucks my computer. ie6 is pretty simple. it loads facebook and youtube faster than firefox. and it starts up a little faster, but fuck ie7. and no im not saying ie is better than firefox. of course firefox pwns all but thats with a good comp. firefox ftw

[mjakobite]

Opera is better than Firefox. If your computer is slow, then you should try it out.

[mohammedbaboor]

mmm... nah.. i tried it before i started using ie6.. i dont really like it.. it's good but not my choice.

[H2Glitch2007]

it's gay

[HeadDominion]

too big (i think) firefox is smaller

[Hedgehogboy3]

How do you remove the libraries list from the side of notetab? I can't find it in the view menu or the options.

[timmy9632]

because the keyboard is faster?

[Poison7Mushroom]

im using 7-zip at the moment and it can unrar files. it just doesnt show the books on the file, its usually blank but they work

[Arkanen]

I find myself using Firefox more and more then Opera, you know why ? Lots of small and bigger bugs, that are still there sometimes years from now. For example Opera takes less memory but at the cost of CPU power (there is also still 100% cpu bug). If you don't know what i mean open many many tabs and you'll see - FF will just take lot of ram, but not so much cpu.

[jimmyrcom]

I've never had that happen. It's probably caused by big third party plugins like java that aren't heavily tested on opera.

[Arkanen]

I'll test if its java or flash plugings.

[Arkanen]

For folder size i just use Total Commander and Alt+Shift+Enter.

In Visual Effects section i do like you, except i tick on "Show windows contents while dragging" and "Use drop shadows for icon labels on desktop" (if someone use wallpaper it'll make icon text background transparent). For all autostart needs there is free program Autoruns - it shows everything that starts with windows (program, drivers and services, dlls and so on). For uninstalling there is free and small program Safarp.

[R4ndomCrap]

increasing virtual memory does nothing performance-wise

[Fattaman]

Lol, this is great for n00bs, i knew most of this, but a lot of people prolly dont know =p

[JohnnyBoyf]

thanks for saying this

it really helped

[DannyK426]

Great stuff jimmy, should really help out alot of people. I do basically all that to almost every computer i come into contact with, just because it usually makes a big difference (except for setting windows visuals to performance, as you said this is for slow machines). I have my fav selection of basic extenstions and the newest firefox avail to download on my site. cant live without it! Keep it up man! dannykay dot net

[XquizitTV]

great tutorial!

[jack2452]

system then advanced and did what you said but it look not cool now what can i do. i want the old thing back.i change everthing to normal but it's not going back. PLZ help me

[Bpslave]

[lyc69me]

Good Tutorial thanks Jimmy.

[vernong1992]

[nateislegend]

WOW, my computer is SOOO much faster!

Thanks so much for the great tips :D

[Bobertoq]

I should show this to my dad re just re-installed XP. But he doesn't like Opera or Firefox, I downloaded both and showed him why their awesome, yet he still uses IE. :( Awesome video!

[ali19851985]

Thanks!! keep them coming.

[tuadube]

Thank you for good tips!

[LexManSubs]

"Flash shit" lol

At least I'm not the only one that calls folders stuff like that.

[tsal01570]

thanks, great info.

[2Rean2]

thanks again jimmy

[oldhippie100]

Yet another good post Jimmy,you rock

[HeadDominion]

Unbelievable. I was reading a tweak manual but it's soooo much easier learngin from u

[ianoreo]

awesome vid

[Myztiks]

Hey this helped, thanks Jimmy.

[pongman]

lol, do you know how to hack George Bush's computer? I mean his personal pc. It would be interesting to know what he has? Geez, I wonder if he has porn? Even better would be Dick Cheney's.?

[Subfightr]

thank u jim

[dfrusdn]

How do you delete the text inside the index.dat files in the cookies folder?

[nicoli492]

7-zip can handle the x.01.rar type of files in torrents. Just right click one of the parts and choose "Extract Here" and it'll unzip the big single file.

[jimmyrcom]

doesn't work for me.

[nicoli492]

weird. i just barely did it for one. i did read somewhere that 7-zip can be picky for rar files if they don't have the correct headers or something. maybe the one i was successful with was packaged differently than the one you were trying.

[tempipas]

i have a laptop and i need to remove crapppy vista

[jimmyrcom]

google clean install xp

[tempipas]

thanks

[liitleliisa]

Can you still do this on a PC that's not new? My mom's computer is kinda slow and I'm trying to figure out a way to get if faster.

[jimmyrcom]

yeah

[ihiphopanonymous]

I posted this in your video tutorials requests but could you do a tutorial on xp-antispy. I feel this program is extremely useful, however, it requires you to know what you're doing or else you might end up messing up your cpu.

[jimmyrcom]

use tweakui or xsetup

[jimmyrcom]

lies

[Al4beef]

play all 3 parts at the same time

[1tian]

nice

[andsanp]
