Reading and writing operations, sometimes even closing the program is somewhat unbearable. At this time, you should optimize your system.
First, remove the "junk" daemon in the taskbar
First look at the availability of your system's current resources: My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, select performance, by "system resources" You can see the current usage of your system. Just boot, before running any program, this percentage is more than 90% to show that your system optimization is quite good, not occupied by some background garbage programs.
If it is a machine, your percentage is less than 50%, then your system resources are wasted a lot. Open a few more windows, run a few programs, your system will enter and unstable state, it will take course to crash and automatically restart.
Although there are many system optimization softwares that can automatically optimize the system, it generally requires direct operation of the registry, which inevitably has certain risks. In addition, the system can no longer be started! If you want to learn something, Let's do it yourself.
First look at the taskbar at the bottom right of the screen. There are several background tasks that are consuming system resources, and many of these programs are used less.
RealPlayer's StartCenter, Winamp Agent, Super Solution's automatic diagnosis and other background programs, although claiming to speed up the startup speed of their own programs, and provide automatic monitoring of open file related functions, but the actual use effect is not significant, Instead, it takes up a lot of system resources. It is recommended to keep only some of the necessary background programs, such as firewalls, anti-virus walls, and so on.
How to close some programs that are started and not needed? First look at: Start->Program->Start, basically everything can be deleted, especially like some "Office startup", A program that consumes resources such as "file retrieval". Unless you want to run a program when the machine is started.
Many of the daemons in the taskbar are not started this way. To delete them, the registry is processed. The registry is an important place for the Windows system series to store system hardware and software configuration information. Improper operation can lead to catastrophic consequences. Fortunately, Windows itself provides an application that can perform safe operations on the project involved in startup, which is the "system configuration application." It can be started by: Start->Run, enter "msconfig", OK.
Visible, there are six tabs "General", "Config.sys", "Autoexec.bat", "System.ini", "Win.ini" and "Start". The three tags that we are going to cover are "Config.sys", "Autoexec.bat", and "Startup". In fact, the items in Config.sys and Autoexec.bat can be unchecked, that is, all the hooks are removed.
Go to the "Startup" tab, where you can remove the checkmark in front of the project that is not relevant to normal operation. After confirmation, a reboot is required to take effect. Restart, and then look at the available resources of the system, is there a big change!
Of course, some special background programs can not be handled by this method. For example, RealPlayer's StartCenter, although you can remove the selection in the "Startup" tab, but will automatically join a row after restarting. To get rid of it, you need to configure it in its running program.
Second, improve the performance of the file system
Set the machine file system as a network server, which can make Windows use more memory for disk read-ahead (including CD). But Windows does not take up the memory required by its applications, but automatically adapts to the memory needs of various applications.
Here's how: My Computer -> Control Panel -> System, select the Performance tab and click the File System button, select Netowrk Sever from the drop-down list, and then OK. After the restart, the setting will take effect.
Third, open the file system DMA mode
This feature is for the hard disk and optical drive direct memory access (DMA, Direct Memory Access abbreviation) to maximize system performance, because now
in the personal computer The biggest bottleneck is in the input and output of the disk. DMA allows the PC to directly access the data on the hard drive, but does not take up too much CPU time (compared to PIO mode), so that your CPU can perform other tasks, as follows: My computer -> Control Panel -> System, select the "Device Manager" tab, expand the hard disk controller or CDROM item, select the corresponding drive device in the expansion, click "Properties", then select "Settings" and select the DMA check box to re- It can be turned on after booting. The following figure shows the interface for selecting the DMA mode for the CDROM.
Of course, you should use DMA mode, your CDROM and hard disk must support the corresponding functions. If your CDROM and hard drive are too old, you may not be able to enjoy the superiority of this feature.
Fourth, defragmentation of disk fragmentation
Windows9x series uses the FAT file system, due to the form of the link table, at the beginning of the file, each sector of the file is continuously stored, but with more files established, After deletion, the newly created files are distributed over discrete disk sectors, with sectors and/or empty sectors of other files distributed in the middle. As more file operations progress, the discrete empty sectors are more scattered, which is called disk fragmentation. It is not literally "there is a physical small fragment of the disk"!
The defragmentation of the disk is to process the file and so on, so that the file is stored continuously by sector, so that the blank sectors are grouped together, and the system reads and writes files. The time when the head moves and is positioned, thereby improving the reading and writing time of the file.
Although Windows also provides a "disk defragmenter" to defragment the disk, the algorithm of this program is quite stupid, not only time-consuming, but also quite easy to get a lot of disk fragmentation after finishing.
You can use many third-party disk defragmentation tools, such as Norton's peed Disk, which is fast and efficient. It is also recommended to turn off any windows and background programs, such as anti-virus software, network firewall, etc. when defragmenting the disk. Because these daemons read and write to the disk from time to time. When the defragmenter detects that there is a disk read or write operation, it will restart the defragmentation.
After the above processing, I believe that your system has been optimized to a considerable extent. When you run some large programs and open more windows, you are not aware that it is different from before!
