Follow these tips and you will definitely have a much faster and more reliable PC! Most of the below tips works for windows 98 1. Wallpapers: They slow your whole system down, so if you're willing to compromise, have a basic plain one instead!
2. Drivers: Update your hardware drivers as frequently as possible. New drivers tend to increase system speed especially in the case of graphics cards, their drivers are updated by the manufacturer very frequently! 3. Minimizing: If you want to use several programs at the same time then minimize those you are not using. This helps reduce the overload on RAM.
4. Boot Faster: The 'starting Windows 95/98' message on startup can delay your booting for a couple of seconds. To get rid of this message go to c:\ and find the file Msdos.sys. Remove the Read-Only option. Next, open it in Notepad or any other text editor. Finally, go to the text 'Options' within the file and make the following changes: Add BootDelay=0. To make your booting even faster, set add Logo=0 to remove the Windows logo at startup. 5. Restart only Windows: When restarting your PC, hold down Shift to only restart Windows rather than the whole system which will only take a fraction of the time. 6. Turn Off Animations: Go to Display Settings from the Control Panel and switch to the Effects Tab. Now turn off Show Windows Content While Dragging and Smooth Edges on Screen Fonts. This tip is also helpful with Windows XP because of the various fade/scroll effects. 7. Faster Start-Menu Access: Go to the Start menu and select Run. Now type Regedit and hit Enter. The Registry Editor will appear on the screen. Now, open the folder HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. You should see a MenuShowDelay value. If you don't then do the following: right click on a blank space in the right pane and select New\String. Change the name in the new value to MenuShowDelay. Now that we have the MenuShowDelay value, double click on it and enter 0 in the value data field. This sets the start menu delay to 0 milliseconds.
8. Resolutions: If you are willing to do anything for faster performance from your PC, then try lowering your display resolution. The lower it is, the faster your PC. 9. Turn off Active Desktop: Go to your Display Properties and switch to the Web tab. Uncheck View My Active Desktop As a Web Page. Since the Active Desktop option under Windows 98 uses a lot of system resources, this option can have a dramatic effect on the speed of the whole system. 10. Defragment Often: Windows 98's Defrag tool uses Application Acceleration from Intel which means that when you defragment your drive, data is physically arranged on the drive so that applications will load faster. 11. Take your PC to Bed: Using the Advanced Power Management feature under Windows 98 gives you the option to use the sleep command. That way, you can send your PC to sleep instead of shutting it down and then restarting it. It's as simple as pressing a button and then pressing the same button to wake it up. You can tell Windows after how many minutes/hours of inactivity to automatically sleep the machine in the Advanced Power Management section of the Control Panel. 12. Faster Internet Access: If you use the internet for reference and the sites you visit are rarely updated then try the following. In IE (the same can be done in Netscape) go to Tools, Internet Options. Next, click on Settings... in the Temporary Internet Files section. Finally, select Never for the first option and double the amount of storage space to use, click OK! 13. Benchmarking: Benchmarking can be very useful when run frequently. It can tell you how your PC's components are performing and then compare them to other machines like yours. For example, when you overclock your PC, you want to know how much more speed you have and whether it is stable. All this and more can be discovered using benchmarking. An excellent piece of software for doing this job is SiSoft Sandra which can be found in the Downloads File Archive!
14. Refresh the Taskbar without restarting: If you in some way change the taskbar, either in Regedit or elsewhere, you can refresh the task bar without restarting. Hold down Ctrl Alt Del, and double click on Explorer. Say Yes to close Explorer, but no to closing Windows. This will refresh the Taskbar and system tray. 15. Quick CD Eject: Instead of pushing the button on your drive, right-click your CD drive letter in My Computer and click on Eject. This will also remove any icons that have become associated with the CD drive. 16. Start Up Programs: Windows can be slowed down when programs run on start up. To eliminate this, check your Start up folder. You can access it from the start menu: Start, Programs, Start Up. Another way to eliminate programs from loading even before Windows actually starts is by doing the following: Click on Start, then Run. Type msconfig. It will take quite a long time for this program to load, but when you finally see it on your screen, explore the different tabs. They all have to do with how quickly your PC boots, so select what you want, and uncheck what you don't want! 17. Fonts: When Windows starts, it loads every single font in the Fonts folder. Therefore, the more fonts you have, the slower the booting process. To get rid of unwanted fonts, simply go to the Fonts folder under c:\windows and remove whatever you don't want. Fonts that have a red letter 'A' as their icon are system fonts, so don't delete them. 18. Stretching Wallpapers: Don't "stretch" your wallpaper in Windows 98 since it actually slows Windows down when you drag icons around on the desktop. 19. RAM Matters: If you have less than 32MB then you should seriously think of upgrading it to at least 64MB. Windows runs much more smoothly with 64MB or higher and tends to use less hard disk space for virtual memory. 20. Partitioning: A very nice little thing you can do to boost system performance. By partitioning your hard drive, splitting one physical drive into several logical ones, you can gain several advantages. 1. If you get a virus or you accidentally format a drive, not all will be lost. 2. By placing the swap file (Win386.swp) on a separate drive, The swap file will be less fragmented and thus, faster. 3. Place Windows on a separate drive and whenever you need to reinstall it, you rest assured that your data is safe on a separate drive. Partitioning can be done using a few programs such as FDisk which comes with DOS. However, FDisk formats everything on the hard disk before partitioning. Alternatively, you can use Partition Magic from Power Quest to partition your hard disk without losing your data.

How to improve your internat speed...?
Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc. Don't you want to get it back for your self? Here is the trick how to get 100% of your available bandwidth.Increase internet speed :ugeek:To get it back:Click Start then Run and type "gpedit.msc" without quotes.This opens the "group policy editor" and go to: "Local Computer Policy" Then "Computer Configuration" Then "Administrative Templates"Then select "Network" then "QOS Packet Scheduler"After that select "Limit Reservable Bandwidth". Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth. It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e." By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."So the trick is to ENABLE reservable bandwidth, then set it to ZERO. This will allow the system to reserve nothing, rather than the default 20

Use Google talk to chat with Yahoo and MSN buddies.
With loads of buddies all over the planet, all of us have been forced to use either multiple messengers or unified clients like Pidgin to keep in touch with everyone. However, with the introduction of Google Talk, and its subsequent jump in popularity. you can chat using Google Talk right from your browser, when you access your GMail account.
Now google Talk users can chat with their yahoo and MSN and icq buddies by using a simple software. It is called as PSI. It can be downloaded from http://psi-im.org , and GoogleTalk, which can be downloaded from http://talk.google.com. Install these two chat clients and proceed to the next step.
Launch Psi and in the “Add Account” window (which will launch if you are using Psi for the first time), enter Google Talk as the Name and do not check the box next to Register new account. Click Add. Alternatively if you have already been using Psi, you can right-click on
the Psi icon in the System Tray, go to Psi and select Account Setup. The Account Properties window will show up and here you should enter your full Gmail address including “@gmail.com” into the Jabber ID field. Tick the “Automatically connect on Startup” and “Automatically reconnect if disconnected” boxes.
Click on the Connection tab. Check Use SSL encryption (to server). The Port field will automatically change to 5223, which is normal. Check the “Ignore SSL warnings”, “Allow Plaintext Login”, “Send Keep-alive packets (for NAT timeouts)” and “Manually Specify Server Host/Port:” boxes. Enter “talk.google.com” in the Host field and leave the port as 5223. If you have trouble connecting, use port 443 instead.
To get online, just right-click on your account name in the main window, go to status Online.Now right click on the account name again and click Service Discovery.
You now need to find a Jabber transport server that will help communicate between Google Talk and non-Google Talk chat applications. A good place to start this search is The XMPP Federation at https://www.xmpp.net/ servers and Open Jabber Servers at http://www.jabber.org/user/publicservers. shtml. We used the server jwchat.org (or you can use talkonaut.com), since it had transport servers for AIM, ICQ, Yahoo as well as MSN. Enter this name into the Address field (initially containing the name gmail.com) and click on Browse.
You will see a list of transport services being populated in the box below. To set up your IM account, right-click on one of these servers and select Register. Enter your user name and password for the service selected and click Register. Psi will ask you to confirm all of
your newly transported contacts in your Google Talk account. After this is done, they’ll all be automatically available through your Google Talk account. You will even be able to add buddies from that service, right from your Google Talk client. To confirm this, open Google Talk and you will find all the contacts from the other service inside Google Talk buddies list. To add a friend from another service, just make sure that you follow the format screenname@transport_ server_name.dns_name—if the Yahoo ID of your buddy is testacc@ yahoo.com, and jwchat.org is the transport server, you should add the contact from within GoogleTalk as testacc@yahoo.jwchat.org. There have been reported cases of
unreliability of quite a few transport servers, but we found that two mentioned above are quite stable. You should also know that when you use a transport client, you trust your information to a third party server, which you may not like if you are very particular
about your privacy.
DeepMonitor - Detect Hidden Process and Rootkit
Rootkits is a computer security threat that is designed to modify the core software components of the system, inserting code which attempts to hide the “infection” and provides some additional feature or service to the attacker.
Some advanced trojan also has the capability to hide itself using rootkits techniques. One example is Bifrost which is able to unhook kernel mode hooks to allow bypassing more firewalls. Nowadays many security suite software such as Kaspersky Internet Security and Norton Internet Security is able to detect and defend against rootkits. If you are like me who doesn’t like to install and use bloated security suites, you can try this very small and simple yet powerful hidden process detector. It claims to detect most of rootkits technologies! DeepMonitor is an hidden process detector, for Window Xp2 only, defeating most of rootkits technologies. It can also detect some hidden injected modules techniques. Although it is very good in detecting hidden process, this tool can’t tell you if a normal running process that can be seen at Windows Task Manager is dangerous or not. Let’s take svch0st.exe for an example. By looking at the filename, it is obviously a virus or spyware because the letter O has been replaced by the number zero (0). If you run DeepMonitor, it will also show scvh0st.exe but it will not warn you because it is not a hidden process. One technique that many trojan authors will use to defeat traditional security measures is to co-opt other applications to do their dirty work. For example, an application can take control of privileged applications, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox, to carry out all of its malicious activity. This will cause all of the attacks to come from Internet Explorer or Firefox, not the actual trojan. One of the trojan that does this is Bifrost. This trojan injects code into the explorer.exe process, which then spawns a non visible Internet Explorer (iexplorer.exe) or Firefox (firefox.exe) process. The trojan then injects extra code into iexplore.exe (not as an extra dll, it just writes the malicious code directly into the memory space of iexplore.exe). This extra code then causes iexplore.exe to act as a backdoor into the computer from which an attacker has complete visibility of the file system and registry. I tried infecting my own computer with Bifrost with DeepMonitor monitoring my system. DeepMonitor detects a hidden process and shows a warning through tray balloon notification. When I launched DeepMonitor from Windows tray bar, it shows firefox.exe in red which is a hidden process. The blue ones are legitimate processes. I can double click on the process for more information or kill the process. When I check Windows Task Manager, firefox.exe also appears in the list but I wouldn’t know whether it has been tampered or not.
