[RESOLVED] Netbook's msconfig
My friend in CA bought an underpowered netbook, which takes 5 minutes to boot and runs very slowly:
Toshiba - NB 255-N250
1.8 GHZ
Windows 7 Starter OS
1GB DDR2 memory upgradeable to 2 GB
HD runs at 5400 (!)
She's going to use this mostly for downloading pics from her camera, webmail and a little web surfing.
The best I can do right now, aside from recommending more RAM, was to get her msconfig screenshots. This was a very long drawn out affair, as this is her first computer, aside from her using a friend's. Doing it by phone was like pulling teeth, so I'm not getting too involved in any other tweaks, unless the results will be dramatic, which I doubt. :D
So far I know to turn off these:
Web Camera Application
Bing Bar
Message Center
Google Toolbar
Toshiba Flash cards
Synaptics (she uses a mouse)
I'm not that familiar with either laptop utilities or Win 7. What else can she remove?
Shouldn't the Windows processes be listed here too?And will it matter, as far as turning off any services (probably not.)
