My system is running very slow. How can I improve the
performance?
System resources are the amount of memory and hard disk
space that your Joybook can use, which may degrade over time
and affect the system performance. However, you can still
improve the system performance by using the methods below:
• Close all open programs not being used. Use software
programs that are absolutely necessary. Try running virus
scans and other tools when you are not using your Joybook.
Closing software programs that are not necessary helps your
system performs more efficiently.
• Prevent background software programs from loading. As
software programs load the small icons in the notification area
located in the lower right corner of the desktop, they will be
running in the background and each one consumes valuable
system resources. You can follow the steps below to prevent
application programs from running when Windows launches:
1. Press
+
R to display the
Run
dialog box.
2. Type "msconfig" in the
Open
field. The system
configuration utility will appears.
3. Click the
Startup
tab, and then uncheck any task that
is unwanted.
4. Click
Apply
>
OK
. Restart your Joybook.
• Remove programs from the Startup folder. Removing
programs from the Startup folder also helps prevent programs
from running when Windows starts up. To do so, follow the
steps below:
1. Right-click anywhere in the open area on the desktop
and select
New
>
Folder
. Give the folder a name. This
folder will be used later.
2. Right-click the
Start
button and then select
Open
. A
folder named
Programs
will appear in the
Start
Menu
window.
3. Double-click the
Programs
folder and then the
Startup
folder.
4. Right-click any icon in the folder and then select
Properties
. The information about the icon will
appear.
5. You may decide if the program is necessary to be kept
in the
Startup
folder. Select unwanted program icons,
right-click on them and select
Cut
.
6. Close the open windows to return to the desktop.
7. Open the folder created in Step 1.
8. Select the
Edit
and
Paste
commands in the folder
window. The icons that were cut from the
Startup
folder are now placed in the folder.
9. Restart the Joybook. The programs removed from the
Startup
folder will no longer run when Windows
starts. However, you can still run them by double-
clicking their icons in the folder created in Step 1.
