Keep XP fast and stable!


Recommended Posts

Well, i know there are alot of guides floating around on the net, but still wnated to make my own guide, i will tell you here how to tweak xp and also how to keep it fast!

first, lets start with removing programs we dont use, they take up hard drive space and might slow down your system by just sitting there!

go to the control panel, then software, let it load up, could take a while if you dont have a very fast pc like me,

there click the sort menu, and select sort last time used, there remove progs you havent used for a few weeks, and reboot your pc!

Spyware

after rebooting the pc i suggest to start cleaning out spyware, spyware is made by pc nerdy's that dont have friends in real life and that are frustated cause they have no friends, so they make progs that look like what sites you go too, and then it sends commercials depending on your intrests, with the money the nerdys get from it they visit hores

a nice ap to clean spyware is microsoft antispyware

you can download it from here

Trash Files

Now its time to remove some temp files that are on your system, they take place in and actuall dont do anything

a nice app i recommend is CCleaner

as you can see it removes cookies, history and all that other **** that can be cleaned up!

Now lets defrag our system, defragging means putting all files togheter on the filesystem in the right place, its kinda complicated to explain how it really works, but lets just do it

Windows has a built in defragger but it sucks, lets install better software, i recommendood6pro_ps_sm.pngo&o defrag

it works great and fast, defrag your pc weekly!

THIS GUIDE AINT FINISHED!!! CHECK BACK TMORROW!!!

Clean the registry

Now lets clean the registry, the registry is something that contains all setting sand stuff of your pc, its one of the most important things to run xp!

a good reg cleaner is tune up utillities

Windows Update

Very important is too keep windows up to date! it helps keep your computer safe!

load up internet explorer and go to windowsupdate.com, let it install the software it needs to run windows update and install all updates and service packs, if it asks you to reboot, reboot and then check back at windows update till there are no further updates!

Virusses

Another thing that can slow down your computer are virusses, its allways recommend to have a antivirus an a firewall running to prevent anything bad to get on your computer

a antivirus i recommend is kaspersky

kaspersky-antivirus-personal-5.gif

and a firewall thats very good is Outpost

a firewall protects you from hackers that get on your system and put malicieus software on your computer!

Alternative browser!

I'm not saying ie is a bad browser, but its currently the most used browser around, and hackers focus on it, so it aint that safe anymore

a good browser i recommend is firefox!, firefox is made by mozilla company and i a very fast and safe browser

Get it here!

firefox_full.png

or another nice browser is opera!

yeah, we all hate the opera, but its just the browsers name, and its one of the best browsers availible, shame it aint as popular as firefox

Download the opera 8 beta, its awesome, and dont start ****ting its beta! its really good and i didnt come acros a bug yet!

Netscape

yeah its back lol, there is a version 8 beta

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
