Dislikedare u running IE or Firefox?? since changing to Firefox it's crashed once this year for me!
- clear all temp files regular once end of week
- run msconfig.exe and clear all unrequired progams at startup ie: adobe, itunes, messenger, nerocheck, ctfmon, cwap etc. Only run wat u need to.
- turn off backgrounds, sounds (at startup etc), screensavers etcIgnored
& everything you listed can be done with Ccleaner
You don't need to turn off the background ops unless you have to little memory .. or vista.
