GP4 PERFORMANCE INCREASE!

Ok I did the folowing last night, to try and get GP4 running good for once, and it worked. Follow the steps and ya should get a similar result.

1.)Click the start button.
2.)Select run from the bottom of the right column.
3.)Then type services.msc in the box and click ok.
4.)Once the services window has loaded we are ready to turn off unneeded services.
5.)For instructional purposes we are going to turn off the Portable Media Serial Number service.
6.)Find this service in the list and select it with the mouse.
7.)Right click and select Properties.
8.)Once the properties windows has loaded locate the Start up type drop down box and select disable.
9.)Then just click ok and the next time the computer starts the service will not be loaded.


Now, and this is the truly shite part (as I told Jon :P ) you have to disable EVERY ONE of the following services:

Routing and Remote Access
Alerter
Application Layer Gateway Service** (only if firewll is not used)
Application Management
Background Intelligent Transfer Service
ClipBook
COM+ System Application
Distributed Link Tracking Client
Distributed Transaction Coordinator
Help and Support
IMAPI CD-Burning COM Service** (only if do you not use the cd-rw xp record suport)
IPSEC Services
Logical Disk Manager Administrative Service
MS Software Shadow Copy Provider
Net Logon
NetMeeting Remote Desktop Sharing
Network DDE
Network DDE DSDM
Network Location Awareness (NLA)
NT LM Security Support Provider
Performance Logs and Alerts
Portable Media Serial Number
QoS RSVP
Remote Desktop Help Session Manager
Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Locator
Remote Registry
Removable Storage
Server
Smart Card
Smart Card Helper
SSDP Discovery Service
System Restore Service
Telnet
Themes
Uninterruptible Power Supply
Universal Plug and Play Device Host
Volume Shadow Copy
Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)
Windows Installer
Windows Management Instrumentation Driver Extensions
Wireless Zero Configuration
WMI Performance Adapter
Fast User Switching Compatibility ** (only if fast user shiching is not used or the machine have one user only)
Protected Storage
Windows Time
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Task Scheduler
Secondary Logon
Print Spooler ** (only if the pc do not have or use a printer)
Indexing Service
Error Reporting Service
Computer Browser
Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) / Internet Connection Sharing (ICS)

Press ok, close the box and restart. I got a performance increase in GP4 and FIFA 2003 (all I tested it on so far), BUT ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE WINXP (Home or whatever the other one is), not any other OS.

BUT ONLY DO THIS IF YOU HAVE WINXP

If you type "services.msc" into the run dialog in any other OS than XP all you'll get is a "file not found" error anyway.

Yes this stops the running - but they can be switched back on whenever you want by going back to the the same place and clickng the desired servie as 'enable', or 'manual.
