  1. Does anyone know how to make a computer slow?

    And I dont want to have to load up millions of programs for it to slow down.

    I simply want it to be very very very slow and lag very badly even when no resources are being used.

    Please, if anyone know how to do it let me know. Thanks

    btw, it's a long long story to explain why i have to do this, (incase you were wondering)

  2. swap out the ram chip for a 32 mb one, or less if available

  3. Underclock it in the bios. You should be able to reduce the FSB speed and possibly the multiplier factor also. (and yes I am wondering)

  4. I once made the entire C drive read only. That made starting up anything pretty slow.

  5. Disable the cache in the bios.

  6. disable swap file
    remove some memory (if more than 1 stick)
    disable dma to your drives in the bios and windows
    if xp set visual effects to all
    underclock
    uninstall your video card and set it up as VGA
    turn your mouse speed down
    install norton antivirus
    fill your hdd up
    install a bunch of fonts (like 850)

    Have fun.

    If you have any programming skils just have a program that begins a for loop and open it as many times as you can.

    You could shave one of his eyebrows off while he's sleeping

    I kinda suspected you wanted to slow the puter for revenge

  11. run winzip and zip drive C as many times as it takes to get the free space down to about 1/2G. Right click those zip files and set them "Hidden" and "Read Only". Name them something like 'win_0132.dll' and hide them in his windows\system32 folder.

    Go and turn off the swap file and disable DMA for hard drives. That should do it. Even is he tries to get back his free space he won't delete those dll files. haha

    Dirty.......
