of Operating System. Whether for running applications or Registry editing. For
changing startup setting or running Group policy editing. Every software/data

In our previous posts we have told you how to disable process and services
from starting up and taking unnecessary resources. But you have to do
this carefully, cause in case, if you disable some important service of
the computer, there will be one of the days when you bang your head in
frustration that some things are not working and you will not have a
damn clue about it!
So to save you from this situation and also to save ourselves from a
lots of curses, we give you all the needed information about which
services and which process to disable. 1st of all we will tell you
about the various services. And after reading this carefully, you will
know if you need them or not. But 1st if don't know about services,
Just see this article.
Now lets see what to disable or not.
- Alerter:
If you don't have a network connection, i.e. if your computer is not
joined with network cables or otherwise with another computer like in a
Cyber Cafe, You DO NOT need this service, cause the alert is for some
changes in the network. So you do not need it and could disable it.
- Automatic Updates:
This is a kind of a hidden curse kind of a thing. If you are using a
limited data transfer based internet connection, this will surely help
you to lighten your pockets. This sometimes runs without the notice of
the user and draws some bandwidth, and also before you know it, you
have lost some valuable MB of data. But in the contrary, from the name
of it, it updates your XP, keeps it up-to-date. But a very cautious
word to those, who use Pirated XP and have internet connection. Be sure
to disable it cause if you don't,after downloading and installing the
"Genuine Advantage Validation" Update, the Pirated XP tag will haunt
you down and it will be really embarrasing to show of your computer to
your friends, unless they also have have the same tagg slapped to their
PC.
- Computer Browser: Now again, If you are not using a networked compter you don't need this also. So simply Disable it.
- Cryptographic Services: Set this to manual if you are not sure you need it.
- DNS Client:
This service resolves the DNS of the computer. This is also a network
based service. But it is also used for internet connection. So don't
disable it. Jus set it to manual so it will run only when it is needed.
- Error Reporting Service:
Ok, now have you seen a program getting non-responsive, and the a
window came giving 2 options, "Send", and "Don't send" and thats when
if you have people peeking behind you will say, "Don't send". And you
click the "Don't send" button. So here microsoft created an error
reporting service solve your problems but believe me. They don't. It's
an useless service and if you click on "Send" button, and if you expect
some solution to that definite problem, you are asking Sun to come out
of the west! So better disable it.
- Fast User Switching Compatibility:
Disable it if you have only a single user on your computer, or if you
do not use fast user switching feature much. That is, if you completely
log-off and then allow other users to use your computer, then you do
not need this. Note that this service is completely useless for low
memory computers. And if you don't even know what 'User' means here,
then you definately need to Disable it.
- FTP Publishing: Disable this if you do not use FTP.
- Help and Support:
If you need any help, just come here or e mail us, or call someone who
knows all this. Don't waste your RAM's resources to run a program for
"Help and Support". So disable it.
- Indexing Service: This
indexes all your hard drives files, so when you search for a certain
file or folder using the search feature, it shows the results very
quickly. But also it continuously runs on background to track all your
files and data. So uses a greater part of CPU. So you can disable it.
- Net Logon: Disable this feature also if you are not on a network.
- NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing: Disable this if you do not use Remote Desktop feature. If you don't know what it is, then disable it anyways.
- Network Provisioning Service: Disable this, it’s also useless if you are not on a network.
- NT LM Security Support Provider: Disable this, its useless too.
- Office Source Engine:
This is for MS Office feature. If you have MS office this is for
recovering sudden crash in MS office. Disable this if you have the MS
office setup file.
- Print Spooler: Disable it if you don’t have a printer.
- Remote Desktop Help Session Manager:Disable this anyways. Cause you will not get any support and help from Microsoft any ways.
- Remote Registry: This is a SERIOUS sequrity thread turned on in every XP by default. So turn it off NOW.
- Security Center: This is a really useless feature. They will always show you some faults on your computer. Its better stay disabled.
- Server: Set it to manual or disable it if you are not on network.
- Smart Card: Disable it. Seriously if you use smart card for your computer, you must be my long lost great great Grandfather!
- Telnet: Set it to manual if you use this feature, otherwise disable it, especially if you are home users.
- Terminal Services: If you aren't using remote desktop. Disable this one also.
- Uninterrupted Power Supply:
If you don't have an UPS attached to the serial port, disable it. If
you don't know what I was talkng about, Serial port is the port where
you stuck your pen drive. If any one of the serial port is attached
with the UPS, don't Disable it. Otherwise Disable it. If you still
don't know what I am talking about, just leave it alone.
- Windows Firewall/Internet Connection Sharing (ICS):
Disable this if you have another firewall software installed, otherwise
let it remain ON for better security.If you don't know what Firewall
is, Then leave this alone also.
- Wireless Zero Configuration: Disable if not on a wireless network.
- WMI Performance Adapters: Disable it, useless service for basic usage.
- Workstation: Disable this one againg for you are not on a network.
Now apart from all these services listed above, let all the others stay as they are. Don't even try to change anything other than this. This may harm your computer and may cause a lots of frustration.
Now for the next step, the "Start
Up" process. This one we will let you know in the next article. So keep
watching. Till then, happy servicing. 6/8/2009

computer, the options may be missing or unavailable. Therefore, you cannot
change your wallpaper or use other options that are located in the Display
Properties dialog box. This problem may occur after you remove spyware from

6/1/2009 SYMPTOMS
When you start any of
the Microsoft Office 2007 or Microsoft Office 2003 programs, you may
receive an error message that is similar to the following error message:
Your
system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly,
increase the size of your virtual memory paging file. For more
information, see Help.
If you click OK, you may receive the following error message:
Your
system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your
virtual memory paging file. During this process, memory requests for
some applications may be denied. For more information, see Help.
CAUSE
This
behavior may occur if you try to start any of the programs included in
Office on a computer where the paging file value setting is too low.
RESOLUTION
To
resolve this behavior, increase the size of the paging file. To do so,
follow these steps as appropriate for your operating system.Note
Microsoft Office 2007 requires Windows XP or higher.
FOR WINDOWS XP Click Start, right-click My Computer, and then click Properties. In the System Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. In the Performance pane, click Settings. In the Performance Options dialog box, click the Advanced tab. In the Virtual memory pane, click Change. Change the Initial size value and the Maximum size value to a higher value, click Set, and then click OK. Click OK to close the Performance Options dialog box, and then click OK to close the System Properties dialog box.
NOTE:
With
virtual memory, the computer can use hard disk space as random access
memory (RAM). The computer uses virtual memory to augment the ordinary
RAM that is installed on the computer. If you reduce the size of the
paging file, the Office program may not start correctly or may not
start at all. This behavior may occur even if the computer has a large
RAM.
Do you ever actually use the Caps Lock key? I
can't remember the last time I did. But it hasn't been nearly that long
since the last time I accidentally hit it and ended up with all caps
that I didn't want. That can be a real problem with some laptops whose
keys so small that you hit Caps Lock when you're trying for Shift or
Tab. Want to disable it? Here's how: Open your registry editor and navigate to the following key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SYSTEM \ CurrentControlSet \ Control \ Keyboard Layout In the right pane, double click the value Scancode Map. If it doesn't exist, create a new Binary Value and name it "Scancode Map" (without the quotation marks). Enter the following binary data in the value data field: 00000000 00000000 0200000000 00003A00 00000000 Close the registry editor.
This
remaps the key to "nothing." You can also remap it to serve the
function of another key, such as the SHIFT key. If you often hit Caps
Lock when you really want SHIFT, you might want to do this. In that
case, enter the following value in the value data field: 00000000
00000000 02000000 2A003A00 00000000
