umm thanks for the warning
I installed XP pro like a month or so ago, but I think I'm fine anyway
@adam - that reg code you gave me, I can just paste that in notepad, save as ***.reg and then run it, no risks right?

That's right! All those entries are totally safe. You can even google them to learn more about what each of them do.

Open notepad, copy/paste then save as a .reg file (probably to the desktop).

Double click, it should ask you if you want to merge the data, and you say yes and reboot.

MAJOR WARNING&#33;&#33;&#33;

if u have been using your comp for an extensive period of time (6+ months) and u disable indexing service thru the process manager, you WILL suffer from MASSIVE data corruption. it can be recovered, but only by plugging your hard drive into another comp with XP.

i keep indexing running on my drive, but disabled it on all physical drives. if the ricess itself is disabled, any currently indexed items will be corrupted.

only disable indexing if you installed windows XP recently (a week ago or earlier)

uhh ive always disabled indexing service right after an installation, and have been doing this for over 1 year....and no problems.....unless you mean on one xp installation, in which case it doesnt matter cause i never keep an installation for more then 2 months lol

he means if you leave your comp for 6 months or more and then disable indexing, then you can have "massive" data corruption, maybe... [/b][/quote]
I am not so sure that this is the case. I highly doubt it actually.

Indexing Service
This service always has been a major resource hog. I NEVER recommend having this service enabled. Remove the function via the "Add / Remove Programs" icon in the control panel (Windows Setup Programs). It uses about 500 K to 2 MB in an idle state, not to mention the amount of memory and CPU resources it takes to INDEX the drives. I have had people (and witnessed it on other people&#39;s computers) report to me that the Indexing Service sometimes starts up EVEN while the system is NOT idle... as in the middle of a game. You may feel, as I do, that this is unacceptable. If your computer suddenly seems "sluggish," Indexing Service is usually the cause of it.

i had to move my hdd to another comp after disabling indexing in order to recover the lost data thru the other comp&#39;s disk check. then i booted off my HDD and reenabled indexing. i think its only an issue on HDDS greater that 137 which were using indexing and then were disabled lol. anyhow thi is from personal experience.

just be safe.



what u can do is disable it temporarily (for the benchmark) and reenable it before shitting down.

Always off.

[kaiweiler]

alright, that&#39;s what I thought you meant adam, thanks&#33;
I tried all that and it didn&#39;t raise my scores all that much, maybe 100-150 points tops
when i the best time to bench your comp? I always restart mine, and then once it is fully booted, wait 5 mins and run the bench, is that the best time?
I figure if you run the test after your comp&#39;s been on a while, you&#39;ll most likly have a few unwanted processes running and stuff like that

press alt-ctrl-del and you can just close any un-needed processes. also close ur virus scanner and firewall and other programs which arent needed for the computer to run the benchmark.
