Low system resources

ajsharp · 11-29-2004, 09:57 PM

I'm at 31% guys. Any help would be appreciated. I recently got some help to remove all the spyware in the security forum, and those guys were great. Computer runs fine, but i get a blue screen that comes up sometimes saying system resources dangerously low. I constantly run at about 31%.

Give us a fresh HJT log here and we can provide advice on what to remove/stop to improve performance.

Looks like you have quite a few programs loading at startup. Go to START, RUN, and type in MSCONFIG. (Capitol letters not necessary). Go to the startup tab and that will show you all programs that load components into memory at startup and keep them there for quick access. A lot of programs you install put entries there that aren't needed. Your Easy CD Creator 5 stuff is a good example. Just uncheck the boxes of the ones you can do without. But its a good idea to leave anything you dont recognize alone, lest you disable something windows needs. (Although you can boot in safe mode and recheck everything).
You can still use these programs but just may take a couple more seconds to open, although I personally could never tell the difference. I've been manually controlling my startup in this way for years and it has definitely made a difference in the responsiveness and speed of my systems. Just remember if you install a new program it can add another entry to startup, so I always check after I install anything new. Hope this helps.
