Tip of the Week: Speed up your computer by reducing your special effects

By default, most installations of Windows include a number of special effects, such as fading or sliding, which you see when you open and move windows around on the screen. If these are slowing down your computer, you can reduce them or turn them off. In Windows XP, right-click on "My Computer" from the desktop, click on the "Advanced" tab, then the performance settings. From here, you can choose "Adjust for best performance", or click on "Custom" and unselect effects that you don't need.

For Windows 98, 2000, or ME, right-click on the desktop, choose Properties, then click on the Effects tab. Uncheck the items in the Visual Effects box that you can live without. You may need to experiment to find the best balance of speed and visual appeal..
