I am fearful of making this adjustment because last year I did this and my computer totally bugged out and I had to reinstall my OS. After reinstalling my OS I decided to make the adjustment to background services again - and low and behold, I had to reinstall windows again.
I am not sure if I want to take the chance again with my laptop (diff comp) because I would have days and days of work to do if i had to reinstall windows on it.
My pc has been set to background services from the day I installed WinXP. I suggest going to musicxp.net if you need additional pointers on whatever tweaks have to be done. What are your pc specs?
Laptops can be cantankerous beasts requiring their own drivers; a standard windows install will not do. I suggest taking your laptop to Dell and have them install the OS for you.
sorry - I still dont understand - why do i have to reformat my dell?
last year I had to reformat my destop because i switched the processor scheduling from programs to background services. I havent made that adjusment yet on my dell, therefore i havent run the risk of it crashing...
I was of the impression that you had formatted your Dell when in fact your were refering to your desktop. If your laptop is working fine, then there is no need to change anything. I am surprised, however, why your desktop will crash just by changing it to run services in the background. Can I have more info on your desktop?
