Re: Ooops!

XP Home ed. is REALLY fast if you never install any software into it !
Having said that, I built up an XP Home ed. machine, a couple of weeks ago,
that was fantastically swift - after everything that was installed into it -
until I installed Norton Ghost 9.0 to back up the boot drive onto its' 2nd
hd and, the performance vanished. Even after uninstalling Norton Ghost 9.0,
and dropping it back to the restore point I took immediately prior to
installing Norton Ghost 9.0 - the performance didn't come back. Rather than
research / dig / and try to find out how Ghost 9.0 had managed to cripple
the thing with such lasting effects, that also survived it's uninstallation
and registry entries etc - we wiped the thing and installed XP again from
scratch !!

AVG hasn't lost its' lustre ! In fact AVG 8.0 has so much lustre that I
often sit working through all that new "lustre" - wondering how to congure
it all ! ...the link scanner is pretty impressive, though I've only ever
seen one or two red X's on a Google search results list.

Re: Ooops!

Baloney.

My copy of XP Home SP 3 runs on a 6-year old Pentium 4 2.26 GHz.
Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 runs in the background. I've got plenty
of big software installed, like Office 2007. XP Home boots up quickly
and runs quickly.

Re: Ooops!

....of course it's "baloney," that was my attempt at being witty !
However, if a largish range of application software is installed without
closely controlling what gets installed e.g. lots of XP services that are
not really required, performance can take a hit.

I have all of XP Home's default services running, plus whatever services
have been added by my application software. Still runs quick.

Re: Ooops!

You need to read a little more carefully !
I didn't say XP services, as you apprantly chose to misinterpret - I
referred to services installed by application software installations.
....and I hope the lid detector service for YOUR flatbed scanner that's
polling your cpu several times a second, and other crap that you allowed to
be installed by lazily choosing they "Typical install" every time you
installed a porgram, isn't slowing YOUR system down too much !

kindest regards,

Once any Norton program has been installed uninstalled is for sufficient.
One must run

However, this will probably mess up any Norton program that is still
installed.

Re: Ooops!

Ahah ! ...thank you Frank, for very pertinent advice.

I have quite a collection of Norton cleanup utilities. Though I don't know
why I keep them - the last time I ran one of them, ages ago, it complained
that it was out of date, and I had to trundle along to Symantec to get one
that had some life left in it. Worst of all - I'd forgotten about them !
(Age doesn't come on its' own).

....and Norton cleanup utilities didn't once spring to mind during the
aforementioned XP Home ed. build that got knocked about by a Norton Ghost
9.0 install and uninstall.

I shall be moving my Norton cleanup utility directory into my Ghost 9.0
directory, as a memory jogger, and storing the Symantec link you supplied in
there as well, and several other places !

Many thanks,

regards, Richard

Re: Ooops!

....not being drawn into that one - other than the following observation :-
I vaguely recall that an irrashional torrent of abuse came from there,
....whoever, at that time, was purporting to be that identity, was unable to

....let's hope you're not him, under another name !

regards, Richard
