To get started, Let's reduce the color quality. This setting determines how many colors are displayed on your screen.
- Right click on your desktop and select properties.
- Click on the settings tab and adjust the color quality drop down box to Medium (16 Bit).
- Click OK.
Next, let's use the windows performance settings to optimize your computer for performance. This will revert back to the old Windows 2000 look as well as take away a lot of the fancy graphics effects. However, if you are really into performance, this is the price you have to pay.
- Right click on the My Computer icon on your desktop or in your start panel and select properties.
- Next, Click on the Advanced tab and hit the setting button under performance.
- On the visual effects tab, select Adjust for Best Performance and hit OK.
- Hit OK once more to exit system properties.
Now your computer will run slightly faster!
