How Do I Speed Up Computer Software?

System acceleration, including system acceleration techniques of WIN98, 2000, XP. You can use software to set or edit instructions to speed up the computer's calculation speed. The common methods are as follows: (see below)

Don't load too many random startup programs

Do not load too many unnecessary random startup programs at boot time. Select "Start Programs Accessories

Disable idle IDE channels

Acceleration principle: Since the Windows XP system will automatically detect the IDE device on the computer during the startup process, turn off the detection of the idle IDE channel to speed up the system startup. However, to correct the misinformation circulating on the network, many people think that it is sufficient to simply disable the idle IDE channel in the BIOS. Others suggest that both the BIOS and the system be closed at the same time. First, the first method is completely ineffective, because the XP operating system can bypass the motherboard's BIOS to independently monitor the various states of the computer hardware; the latter method appears to be redundant. Therefore, you can only disable it in Windows XP to achieve the effect of disabling the idle IDE channel.

[Do as follows]: Right-click "My Computer-Properties", then "Hardware" and then "Device Manager", open "IDE ATA / PATA Controller" (different chips are slightly different), and then enter Primary and secondary IDE channels, select "Advanced settings", find the "Current transfer mode" is "not applicable" (this is the corresponding IDE channel idle), set the "device type" of this item "None", just confirm.

Set the IP address manually

Acceleration principle: Windows XP system is developed based on Windows 2000, so it supports rich network functions. In this case, the Windows XP system will automatically detect whether the computer is connected to the local area network after booting, but the general user is a single machine to access the Internet, and basically set in the network connection to automatically obtain an IP address. In this way, the system searches the DHCP server in order to assign an IP address to the machine, but ordinary users will not configure it at all. This causes the system to take a long time to search the DHCP server until it obtains an IP address or the service times out after each boot. Even if you come to the desktop during this period, double-clicking the program does not reflect anything. This is also a problem that many users using Windows XP report "crash" for 10 seconds after entering the desktop! In fact, as long as you manually assign an IP address to "Local Connection", you can simply solve this problem, avoid automatic network detection every time Windows XP is turned on, and speed up startup!

[Do as follows]: Right-click "My Network Places"-select Properties, enter the window, right-click "Local Area Connection"-select Properties, double-click "Internet Protocol (TCP / IP)" here, select "Use the following IP address" and then Enter an IP address (for example: 192.168.0.1), the default subnet mask is sufficient. (This will not cause any conflict with your Internet connection. This address is only used in the local area network.) Then the system will quickly find the IP and enter the system quickly after searching again.

Disable unused devices

Acceleration principle: computer peripherals are now much cheaper. Many people have purchased USB flash drives, mobile hard disks and other products, but many friends always forget to disconnect these USB devices from the host after use. Because of Windows XP The system will automatically detect the USB interface during system startup, so if these devices are connected to the host computer during startup, the system startup will be slow. The author has personally experienced the situation that a friend's computer cannot access the system after being connected to a mobile hard disk, and can only be accessed by disconnecting the connection cable. Therefore, after using USB devices such as U disks and mobile hard disks, you should disconnect the host in a timely manner, and also prevent accidental conditions such as power-on current shock from damaging the device (because many chassis manufacturers currently use USB ports in order to reduce costs) There is no necessary protection circuit at all, or even necessary grounding). In addition, friends who use laptops should temporarily disable devices such as infrared and wireless network cards in Device Manager. Because these expansion devices, especially network cards, have a huge impact on the speed of system startup. After disabling, the purpose of skipping the system startup detection is to speed up the startup process.

Also note: the system automatically reads the optical drive by default, so it will detect the optical drive at startup. If a disc is placed in the optical drive, it will automatically read it. If it is a multimedia disc, it will take longer to read , Which also extends the startup time of the computer. Therefore, we recommend that you always take out the disc after using the disc.

Turn off the theme

Many friends like beautiful themes or wallpapers, but beautiful comes at a price, that is, it consumes a lot of memory, and there are too many icons on the desktop. Because every time the system is started to display the desktop, you first need to check whether the theme is enabled. Once it is found, it will load. Many themes eat up a lot of memory in this way (in addition, many netizens make their own incomplete subjects, which will appear after use Many compatibility issues cause system failures). At the same time, the system also finds and verifies the validity of desktop shortcuts, so the more shortcuts there are, the longer it takes to verify. It is recommended that you try not to use themes in general, and you can set at most one beautiful wallpaper. Then put the desktop shortcuts into special folders for easy management, speed up the startup and serve two purposes!

Close unnecessary startup programs

Many software will automatically run some background programs after system startup, such as: Winamp, office, etc.

These programs will make the startup slow. You should enter "msconfig" and press Enter-"Start" to close the extra startup items here. As long as you keep the input method and firewall (based on personal settings).

In addition, it is recommended that you do not set the memory optimization software to boot up. Because booting up the memory not only has a small effect, but also seriously affects the startup speed. The correct approach is to run the software that requires a lot of memory, such as PhotoShop. (In fact, since Win2000, the operating system's own memory management has been quite perfect. Nowadays, WinXP has more scientific and effective memory management, and the use of memory to organize is limited.)
