View Full Version : XP SP1 Makes Programs Load Slower! Conan April 3rd, 2003, 10:46 AM Read this: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815411 and Neowin has the fix: http://www.neowin.net/comments.php?id=9815&category=main&highlight=Slower Big Booger April 3rd, 2003, 11:27 AM Did you install this conan? Have you noticed an improvement? :D I downloaded it, but after reading the comments I am apprehensive about installing this. From their comments: Remeber this a BETA patch, if it f**** your system do not complain MS says that a patch like this don't exist. Beta Software? A Patch? Maybe a worm, virus or trojan but never a MS Patch no performance improvement noticed .. But many users are reporting that it improved their bootup times, and the startup of many applications.. Conan April 3rd, 2003, 12:14 PM I installed it, it's no Trojan. Things seem a bit zippier at the moment. Big Booger April 3rd, 2003, 12:20 PM Thanks for the info and download. Going to install it now. FastGame April 3rd, 2003, 13:01 PM Most of us Nforce 2 users have installed it because it fixes a CPU usage bug where CPU usage was as high as 65% during large file transfer....now it's around 5% :D Everything else is a bit faster also :thumbup: Stripe April 3rd, 2003, 15:20 PM I'll have to try this when I get home. I've noticed lately that when some apps shut down, windows will take a while to paint the background.....i thought it was because I had a lot of programs running, but the other day I only opened the my computer screen.... Thor April 3rd, 2003, 20:31 PM Most of us Nforce 2 users have installed \ Thanks for the tip, FastGame. Having just recently installed an Asus A7N8X DL and working through a new hdd/XP Pro install I've not really taken the time to check cpu usage. I'm still working on figuring out what apps do I really need.:( FastGame April 3rd, 2003, 21:44 PM You have a very good and fast board Thor, thats the one I have plus I have a Abit NF7-S. If you need any help let me know :) Thor April 3rd, 2003, 22:01 PM Thanks FG. I will, especially whenever I get to OCing!;) I just took a quick peek at the Abit. On first glance...very similar to the Asus! SupaStar April 3rd, 2003, 22:52 PM I installed the patch (it's just over 500K d/l) and I have noticed an improvment on load times. I clocked the load time of Dreamweaver MX at 20 seconds before the patch and 10 seconds after. I give it 2 thumbs up! :D phishhead April 7th, 2003, 15:50 PM seems to shave off a few seconds on boot up. but haven't noticed MOHAA loading any faster.:cool: SupaStar April 8th, 2003, 03:25 AM Originally posted by phishhead seems to shave off a few seconds on boot up. but haven't noticed MOHAA loading any faster.:cool: Me neither. Actually all my games seem to load in about the same time they used to.
