My XP installation is not on the greatest hardware, yet it boots up as

 

fast as my Win98 system. Only the shutdown takes a little longer.

 

Again, it is your hardware.

 

 

 

The point is, you are going through this thread bemoaning the slowness

 

of XP, but you are running it on hardware not suited for it. It isn't

 

an issue of XP being slower, it's an issue of your deficient hardware.

 

 

 

Did you similarly complain because the bloated Win95 with all that eye

 

candy GUI was so slow to boot on your machine upgraded from Win3.x, with

 

a 200MB hard drive and 1MB RAM? Oh, excuse me, you could not have even

 

installed with 1MB RAM....so did you increase it to 4MB at great cost

 

and still have it crawl because it needed at least 8MB?

 

 

 

Most newer operating systems use more resources, and require hardware

 

upgrades, or even replacement. Is that your complaint? You could

 

always buy a Mac.....then you would have NO control over what hardware

 

you got, and pay a premium price for it too.

Still using a CRT Monitor, too, no doubt?

 

All my Win 7 machines boot faster than my XP machine but I use an all

 

wireless network so I probably shouldn't say much about antiques.

Pity you don't have a newsreader, so you must post via Google Groups,

 

and using Quoted Printable as well, so quoted replies are fubar'd.

 

 

 

XP SP3 is still a supported OS under the MS Lifecycle. You think

 

because someone uses or supports an older OS that they don't also use

 

the newer ones? My Windows 7 system boots faster than XP, but not by a

 

lot....and the XP system is a multiple-boot so there's a delay added

 

from going through the third-party boot manager.

 

 

 

You think using ClearWire all-wireless makes you "progressive"? LOL!

 

It performs poorly in my area, with frequent down time as well.

 

Everyone I know who was using it has switched to cable internet for a

 

more reliable and high speed connection. "Antiques" has nothing to do

 

with it.

"Robert Macy" - It's no shame to have cross-posted to the WinXP group, it

 

was YOUR cleverness to have successfully got your answers by posting to

 

those groups YOU chose.

 

 

 

"glee" - I myself have a "Made for WinXP" XP-compliant PC, with Pentium4

 

and 512Mb RAM

 

 

 

Although it takes no time to boot to the Welcome screen, it does take an

 

age to logon to my profile.

 

 

 

Whereas Win98 had only relatively few Microsoft-originated background

 

applications / processes, nowadays, XP had bundles of them (background

 

processes).

 

 

 

....and seemingly more and more with every "Windows Update" and added

 

"Hotfix"!!

 

 

 

But, once going, as long as I respect what processes are

 

active and competing with the current user-focused application, we get

 

along just fine.

 

 

 

Even Microsoft admit that XP (and previous Win OSs) takes too long to boot,

 

as they addressed this very issue in the currently running advertisements

 

for Windows 7!

 

 

 

Windows will NEVER be as fast as some other computers and their operating

 

systems, but I will always prefer the "usability" of Windows, and the way I

 

can make it do the unorthodox in the way I want.

 

 

 

So, with home computers, it's a case of speed and "slickness" versus the

 

overall "versatility" of Windows (especially XP)!

If it takes an age to log onto your profile, it isn't because it's XP.

 

I work on a lot of XP systems regularly, including my own, with all

 

updates installed, no tweaking of services or anything out of the

 

ordinary, and the log-in is quick. I'm using a 1.58GHz Sempron 2300+

 

with 1GB RAM, but it originally had 512MB RAM with no appreciable

 

difference in log-in time. I think your long log-in time is coming

 

from elsewhere.

I will reduce your startup/login time.

 

 

 

My current rate is $1 per second of time decrease measured before and

 

after.

 

 

 

There is no charge for increases.

LOL! Tim! Are you seriously going to discuss how XP runs all these

 

background processes, and that post a task list full of third-party

 

processes as proof?! Please tell me you are joking!

 

 

 

Every one of the processes I have copied below from your list are

 

third-party processes you have added (some are NT Resource Kit or XP

 

Power Toys processes), not XP processes:

 

 

 

RapportMgmtService.exe

 

timeserv.exe

 

RapportService.exe

 

BlueSoleil.exe

 

TaskSwitch.exe

 

Monitor.exe

 

LUNABAR.EXE

 

WZQKPICK.EXE

 

SAVER.EXE

 

ZOOM.EXE

 

PrvDisk.exe

 

tclock.exe

 

Diskmon.exe

 

CLOCK.EXE

 

UnlockerAssistant.exe

 

TimsMGR.exe

 

ServiceLayer.exe

 

DATALAY.EXE

 

 

 

NO WONDER you take so long to log on!

 

As I stated, it isn't from XP serives and processes.

 

 

 

These are AVG anti-virus processes:

 

avgwdsvc.exe

 

avgrsx.exe

 

avgemc.exe

 

avgcsrvx.exe

 

 

 

The only XP processes there that I would eliminate are cisvc.exe and

 

cidaemon.exe, and that is done by turning off Search Indexing.

 

 

 

Windows XP may run slowly and you may see multiple symptoms in Windows

 

Task Manager

 

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/899869

 

 

 

Then you can right-click the C: in My Computer, then click Properties,

 

and uncheck "Allow indexing service to....."

 

 

 

Cheers!

Yes, some of those processes are of my own choosing...

 

 

 

Quick, aren't you!

 

 

 

However, the discussion was started with one of the topics being the

 

differences between XP and the Win98 OSes.

 

 

 

My tasklist for Win98 went something like :

 

 

 

systray.exe

 

explorer.exe

 

 

 

 

 

...and my tasklist for XP WITHOUT anything "custom" goes something like :

 

 

 

smss

 

csrss

 

winlogon

 

services

 

lsass

 

svchost

 

svchost

 

MsMpEng

 

svchost

 

svchost

 

spoolsv

 

svchost

 

avgwdsvc (I have to have some AV installed!)

 

svchost

 

jqs

 

SMAgent

 

svchost

 

avgrsx (more of the AV)

 

avgemc (and more AV)

 

avgcsrvx (yet more AV)

 

alg

 

explorer

 

avgtray (and more AV)

 

hkcmd

 

MSASCui

 

Monitor

 

jusched

 

CTFMON

 

Taskmgr

 

cmd

 

ntvdm

 

explorer

 

avgnsx (last bit of AV)

 

iexplore

 

mscorsvw

 

cisvc

 

cidaemon

 

wuauclt

 

ServiceLayer

 

wuauclt

OK...we'll top post.

 

 

 

1) You're still listing a few non-XP processes in your new list.

 

2) Win98 would have shown more than what you listed if you ran an

 

anti-virus and some other utilities shown in your XP list.

 

3) The "task list' from Ctrl+Alt+Del in Win98 did NOT show anywhere near

 

all processes that were actually running.

 

 

 

If you still have a Win98 installation (I do), run Process Explorer and

 

you will see the "real" task list, and it will show closer to the same

 

number of processes as a basic XP system...it will likely even show your

 

mscorsvw if you install .NET Framework on Win98.

I found 4 different versions of Process Explorer previously downloaded

 

on this machine [Win98] one is labeled specifically for the WinXP

 

none of them appeared to do anything, so...

 

 

 

Process Explorer 11.3 software download - Windows - VersionTracker

 

Feb 16, 2006 ... Find Process Explorer downloads, reviews, and updates

 

for ... Windows XP Windows 2003 Windows 2000 Windows NT Windows

 

98 Windows 95 ...

 

http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/win/32005 -

 

 

 

downled that version, ran it, again, nothing what's it supposed to

 

do?

 

I did find an entry in the ctrl-alt-del listing showing procexplorer,

 

or such, was running, but other than that, nothing going on.

 

 

 

What is it supposed to do?

Dear Glen,

 

Over about 6 years I have posted less than 10 times so I never

 

bothered to set up the newsreader. Where I live, there are only 3

 

choices for ISP's.

 

1. clearwire.net not to be confused with clear.com, the erratic, short

 

range high speed wireless service which is not available here.

 

I was not clear. I run all 3 PC's on a home wireless network using

 

a dual channel("G" and "N") wireless router which keeps up with the

 

input and doesn't

 

drop the internet connection. I get clearwire's highest speed

 

package at their lowest speed price and I have never had any problem

 

with them.

 

Service is much it cheaper by far than Qwest and Cableone.

 

2. Qwest Only marginally faster speeds are available here but at a

 

much higher price than my present deal with clearwire.

 

3. Cableone By far the fastest available speeds in the area. But it is

 

the cable company, I do not like the way they do business and they

 

charge much more for

 

the same speed I am getting from clearwire. Ever try to negotiate

 

with a cable company? They can double my speed for almost 4 times the

 

price. As long as

 

.video streams I can afford to wait for clearwire to increase it's

 

local speeds.

 

 

 

In any case, I always enjoyed this newsgroup. It never fails to

 

entertain and I have learned a lot about XP from subscribing to this

 

group. I expected the curiously sarcastic style many use in their

 

answers so I don't think I was far from the norm by basically saying

 

better results are to be had by upgrading one's hard and software as

 

things evolve. I imagine it must be cool to be writing an extra $60 a

 

month to the cable company for truly fast internet speeds but what I

 

have beats dial up about 10 times over. I will miss this group if for

 

some reason it doesn't survive the changes because my ISP doesn't

 

somehow stay connected to one of the alternative providers. At least

 

I've never cross posted or top posted things that seem to bring out

 

the little biters.

You reckon I'll find a comparable number of running processes in Win98

 

installation, do you?

 

 

 

Well, I'll give that a try, I have a W98 installation running as in M$

 

Virtual PC.

 

 

 

But, as it's getting late, I will try that on the morrow.

 

 

 

BTW - I read the post by "Robert Macy" - will my copy of Process Explorer

 

run under Win98?

 

 

 

Or do I need another version - was a bit hazy about what he wrote, but

 

seemed to be having some problems...

 

 

 

==

 

 

 

Cheers, Tim Meddick, Peckham, London. :-)
