Top 10 Windows XP Tips Of All Time from Yahoo. A couple of good ideas here.

When I seen "Top 10 Windows XP Tips Of All Time" it caught my eye....

Tip 6: Force unresponsive applications to close at shutdown. Is very helpful John...
Thanks!

I was all excited when I saw Tip #4.
My thinking was that I could set a custom display resolution of 1024x819 to fix the distortion problems for a 5:4 aspect ratio 17” or 19” lcd Monitor

Or .. even a 1024x640 setting to fix the horrible distortion a friend has with her 8:5 Aspect Ratio 21” display.

I’ve played with my Registry settings … and nothing seems to change the Computers Display setting.
Anyone have any Ideas ???

Frankly, I was somewhat dubious about Tip #4, I have difficulty believing that will work.

Thanks John, I was always thinking that scince i got my laptop and its a retail and even though i gutted the software out and loaded my own setup, I always that maybe my system may be a little steep on processes. Right now i got firefox running, aim, and musicmatch jukebox and im running 75 processes . Between that and using mcafee security center i think that explains the slow boot.

2 of the 10 tips in that site that I use:

10: Reduce the number of Services running on "Automatic".

9. Reduce the amount of hard drive space that is being used by System Restore.

My sis had that comp game on her comp once but she said it was dumb so she took it off. I never played it though.
