I got a laptop, an old one too. IT's a P3 1000MHz and 256MB RAM. I've disabled aload of stuff at startup, gona run a virus scan, do some spyware checks and defrag it. got any idea what else I should do to it? Registry cleanup etc? If so, recommend some programs please. 
I'mma use so far: AGV Free - Virus Scanning Spybot Search and Destroy - Spyware checker. 
Diskeeper 11 - Defragger. And basically unload alot of startup programs that aren't required. |

CCleaner for all your registery an other such needs. Laptop sounds fine - as long as the battery is good for a few hours. |

Icon doesn't appear with 11 apparently it's "transparent" and apparently, basically defrags your comp while using it to prevent fragmentation while using your comp. >.> I'll probs disable it anyways. XDXD |

Best way to make it run fast again is to format it  ..
- Other than that, after uninstalling stuff, look around for folders that didn't delete when you uninstalled them. - Run crap cleaner (google it) - Make sure nothing loads at startup..only thing that loads on my startup is SetPoint (for my mouse to work in Ventrilo) and AVG (anti-virus).. - Get icons off the desktop (this slows down loading time obviously), and also if your REALLY keen, make sure the wallpaper is a small file and not like 5mb .
Perhaps increase Pagefile up a few GB's ..
the rest has been said. |

Disable startup sound, as this also take a while to load. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Also download this (microsoft bootvis, used to optimise boot times): Code: http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/BootVis.shtml
Follow this: Quote: 1. Download and install 'BootVis'
2. Go to 'Start > Program Files > Microsoft BootVis > BootVis' 3. When the program loads go to 'Trace > Select Next Boot and Driver Trace' 4. When the 'Trace Repetitions' screen appears, click 'Ok' and reboot the machine. 5. After rebooting 'BootVis' will appear, click on 'Trace > Optimize System' Reboot your machine. 6. Upon rebooting your machine a screen will appear - Optimizing System box, be patient the operation may take a couple of minutes, when done your machines boot time has been optimized. Cut about 8 seconds from mine
