I use the Dragon NaturallySpeaking Voice Recognition program. When I run it
(in WordPerfect), I need all the power my CPU can give me. I go to
RUN/MSCONFIG - and uncheck *every* box except "Systray." I usually end up
(after re-booting) with 98% free resources - and Dragon flies! Nothing else
seems to suffer. When I'm done, I'll go back to MSCONFIG and re-check the
boxes and re-boot again.
P.S. I appreciated the referral to "Streamlining Startup." It was helpful in
knowing what some of these things are that I turn off! <grin>
