A question of RAM

ermintrude1

Have run that but not executed - I count seven items to be unchecked in your list (please correct me) but the start up tab only shows five;
ati
adobe sl exe
adobe ARM
avast
netmeter

have I misunderstood?

just these then, did you also do step 11 and 12?

ermintrude1

No, just had a look see.

If I uncheck these will they still work?

11. disable ctfmon - control panel, regional and language options,languages, details, advanced, tick the Turn off advanced text services, ok

12. start, run, services.msc, disable these services. (make a note of any services you disable, if you have any problems related to these services subsequently, simply re-enable them)


SSDP Discovery Service
Remote Registry
WebClient
Distributed Link Tracking Client

anything you uncheck can be run manually if required, or re-enabled, it isn't deleting anything, just stopping them running at startup and gobbling up memory

Some improvement - peak commit after boot @177k

I confess to being lost in no.12 - only took out error reporting which is a pain when I'm jammed up anyway.

Still much much better than 24hrs ago,

I can't thank you enough for your help. x

Youd be surprised how tweaking the registry can speed things up there are sites out there that explain how a little thought and commonsense is needed i have tweaked the heckers out of xp vista and win 7 and they run like there on steroids

I'd be very surprised

Commit on opening tm @138 peak 174
now on @194

No remote registry found and I didn't alter web client, no idea if I use it or not.
