hi there... i was searching for a guide that shows, how to optimize windows 7 for use with XBMC..
cannot find one.. there is no one?
maybe in this new thread, we are able to give hints and summarize them to a usefull guide to optimize windows and it´s services for a great XBMC usage..
we have to find a stable balance between performance and usablity..
i don´t need the following services.. and disabled them:
-indexing service
-print spooler
-User account control (UAC)
-some Unused Windows 7 Features
-autodefrag (background defrag)
i got some of those tips from this guide: http://www.computingunleashed.com/speed-...de-to.html
i also tried to disable aero theme.. but in my environment, the performance of windows AND XBMC was descreased after disabling the aero theme.. i don´t know why.. but that´s what happened here..
what about you? any tips/tricks? please only selfmade experiences.. no hearsay..
thx a lot
