Was going to reinstall XP with Fix-It Utilities5.... Any coments on its worth
from anyone?
You don't need it or other "utility suites" with XP. XP runs best on its
own native utilities, and moreover it does lots of system maintenance and
optimization automatically and in the background during idle periods.
The only thing you need for a top performing computer is a fast CPU with
lots of RAM and a hard drive that is regularly checed for errors (chkdsk, a
native utility), cleaned of junk (Disk Cleanup a safe and effective disk
cleaner that comes with XP), and regularly defragged with Disk Defragmenter
(ditto, plus XP automatically defrags and optimizes your boot files and most
often used application files in the background during idle periods no less
frequently than every three days -- and you can make it do so more often with
the following run command: Rundll32.exe advapi32.dll,ProcessIdleTasks).
Also keep Windows XP, your drivers, and your software up to date, and use
designed for XP security software to keep crudwar from installing itself on
your machine.
