IF THAT IS NOT ENOUGH PLEASE MAKE IT FULL SCREEN!

This video was made on a Laptop with 1.6Ghz Processor, 512 MB RAM, carrying Windows Vista Ultimate as OS. This computer also does areo, very smoothly. Originally memory would be around 445 MB, but now it decreased all the way to 250 MB and less.

******WARNING!*******
If you have an App that starts with your OS and it's heavily integrated in in Windows, DO NOT DISABLE IT. Examples of these apps are like security apps like Norton, McAfee, Antivirus/Firewalss in general.
------------------------------------------
IF ANY PROBLEMS RISE, RE-ENABLE ALL THE SERVICES THAT YOU DISABLED.

  • msconfig is a diagnostic tool. It is not meant to be a means of speeding up your computer. I have seen serious problems resulting from the improper use of msconfig.

  • @RandomTorok Thanks for expressing your concern, however I would like to state that msconfig isnt a diagnostic tool since it doesn't give you feedback on how your system is performing.It IS a configuration utility that lets you control certain aspects of your computer,which directly affect performance btw. There are various ways of configuring your system by other more complex utilities, however, msconfig is readily available and easy to use. I'm an IT technician w/more than 10yrs.of expirience.

  • @341873 I'm an also an IT tech, but he's right. Msconfig is best used for TEMPORARILY disabling startup services when trying to track down a fault.

    Some other services still make calls services that aren't actually running, which will still slow down your system slightly, and generate a lot of unnecessary errors in the event log. In rare (extremely rare in my experience) cases it can actually cause major system problems.

    Use services.msc instead. It's a cleaner way of doing the same thing :)

  • @rollaphat1 Thanks. My original intention was for an intuitive tutorial. From my experience, I have learned that the average user is intimidated by the more appropriate services.msc utility. I tailored this video for a much more broader audience. Yes, I know some programs will call other services, but please note I have provided a list of services that I recommend disabling. Granted this,it's probable there will be no conflict and if so, I have duly noted in this video to re-enable the services.
