I have a Toshiba laptop running on Windows Vista. I also have Bell South Fast access DSL. When I first got everything I was able to run games like America’s Army perfectly on higher graphics. Now it seems everything is slower, and I have major lag problems in my video games.
Is there anything I can do (for free) to speed up my computer and internet?
Thanks in advance.

On your homescreen, press the windows key (in between Ctrl and Alt) and the letter "R." This will bring up the run screen. In the box, type "msconfig" (No quotes) and click OK. Choose the services tab and then check hide all microsoft services – This prevents you from turning off any Microsoft stuff. Now go through the list and anything that you recognize as not important, deselect it. Now choose the Startup tab and deselect familiar programs that you don’t need running in the background. DO NOT Deselect anything that you are unsure of. Look for programs like Adobe acrobat or winamp or quicktime. These can be accessed when needed, but don’t need to run in the background immediately from startup. Now choose Apply. Restart your computer and things should run a little smoother. Make sure you have anti-virus protection running.
