I have been going through all the suggested XP tweaks.
I have noticed that some people recommend Processor Scheduling Programs and others recommend Background Services?
Which method is the best?
Thanks. CM

as vdj is a aplication choose aplications
services mode is for servers where processes such as dns or active directory need more resources
services mode is for servers where processes such as dns or active directory need more resources

I understand that idea and agree with you.
However, on that windows video under the Forum : Hardware Technical Support - How to solve issues with bad sound etc.....
DJcel's post with the video says to check Background Services??
Could it affect your sound and sound card??
Thanks. CM

i think the trick is to put it on 'programs', but then if you have problems with the sound, put it on 'backgroud services' :)

Use "background services" if you have an external USB sound card for example.

How to manually manage processor time
Windows manages system processing. Windows can allocate tasks between processors and manage multiple processes on a single processor. However, you can set Windows to allocate more processor time to the program that you are currently running. The added processor time causes programs to respond more quickly. Or, if you have background programs such as printing or disk backup that you want to run while you work, you can have Windows share processor resources equally between background and foreground programs.
Note You must be logged on as an administrator to the local computer or have the correct network credentials to make certain changes in System.
How to manually change the performance of foreground and background programs
1. Click Start, click Run, and then type sysdm.cpl in the Open box.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Performance.
3. Click the Advanced tab, and then use one of the following methods under Processor scheduling:
• Click Programs to assign more processor resources to the foreground program than the background program.
• Click Background services to assign equal amounts of processor resources to all programs.
Notes
• If you click Programs, the foreground program runs more smoothly and responds more quickly. If you want a background task such as a Backup utility to run faster, click Background services.
• The Programs option allocates short, variable time slices (quanta) to running programs, and the Background services option assigns long, fixed quanta.

Be careful the most important thing is not "services" but "background"
Don't make confusion with Windows services
