    <Title>How to optimize computer performance and stability in 5 easy steps</Title>
    <Summary>This 5 step guide explains how to dramatically speed up your computer.</Summary>
    <Body>Step 1/5.

Clean up your startup with StartEd Lite.

StartEd Lite is a tool which helps you to manage Programs which load from the Registry, Startup folders and as System Services at Windows Startup. It lets you modify and backup the Startup configuration and detects obsolete startup programs and more than 150 Trojan Horses. StartEd Lite displays detailed info about the functionality of every System Service. You can also uninstall programs directly from StartEd Lite.

You can download StartEd Lite from: http://www.outertech.com/files/StartEd Lite.zip

Step 2/5.

Auto-Optimize your computer with CachemanXP.

CachemanXP a Windows tuneup utility designed to improve the performance and stability of your computer by optimizing several caches and fine tuning a number of system settings. Oneclick-Optimization makes it suitable for novice and intermediate users yet it is also powerful and versatile enough for computer experts. Backups of settings ensure that all user modifications can be reversed with a single click.

You can download CachemanXP from: http://www.outertech.com/files/cachemanxp.zip

Step 3/5.

Update video drivers

If you use your computer only for Office Productivity, Internet Browsing and similar you can skip this section, the shipped drivers are most probably sufficient. A video card driver upgrade is only necessary if you use your computer for gaming or work with 3D Graphics applications.

Drivers download locations for the most common chipsets:

a. nVIDIA GeForce

download from here: http://www.nvidia.com/content/drivers/drivers.asp 

select Product Type -&gt; GeForce -&gt; your Operating System, then click on search

b. AMD/ATI Radeon

download from here: http://ati.amd.com/support/driver.html

select your Operating System -&gt; Radeon

Step 4/5.

Decrease boot time with Bootvis.

BootVis is a free tool that examines your system boot process in order to optimize the prefetch parameters. It can drastically speed up the boot process.

you can download BootVis from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=664

After installing and starting BootVis select Next Boot + Driver Delays from the Trace menu.

Click Ok in the following dialog, your system will reboot.

When the Desktop shows up please do not touch anything, BootVis will start up automatically after the examination has completed!

Now it's time to let BootVis optimize your system.

The next reboot will take considerably longer than usual!

When your Desktop shows up BootVis is still optimizing, please wait until the BootVis splash screen goes away. From now on, your computer will boot considerably faster. You should repeat this optimization process every 2 months.

Step 5/5.

Defragment your Hard Drive.

When data is written to your Hard Drive, the files can be broken up over different locations. This is called fragmentation. When fragmentation occurs the performance of your system will decrease. 

The Disk Defragmenter is a Windows build in tool that locates and consolidates fragmented files. To start this tool double click the My Computer Icon and show the Properties dialog of the volume you want to defragment.

In the Properties dialog click on the Defragment Now... button.

Click on the Defragment button to start the defragmentation process. Depending on your Hard Drive size in can take 30 minutes to 5 hours, it's best to start the defragmentation and leave the computer alone while the operation is active.

You should defragment your hard drive every 2 months.</Body>
