Windows 7: Windows Seven slower Than xp help

I'm trying To rip some dvds for my tablet I'm using a Windows Seven computer with 3 gig of ram,I run it through dvd shrink and then through handbrake to turn it to mp4 this takes 5hour upwards. If I use my old xp computer with one gig of ram it does it in half the time. What's going on how do I get it to rip quicker.

Is your new computer a laptop or a desktop? Also, is your old computer a laptop or a desktop? Laptops come with slower dvd drives than desktops, so that could be your problem. Also, try ripping your dvds throught a different program.

Both are laptops. I use dvd shrink to remove encryption which makes a copy on the hard drive this is the quickest part the slowest is ripping it to mp4 which is done off the hard drive. I've also tried format factory but both the same

Go to start, then type mscinfig on the Windows 7 machine. Hit enter. Next, go to the startup tab. Disable everything you don't need, or post a screenshot and I'll tell you what you can disable.

heres the screen shots

You can delete everything form the startup tab , just keep the antivirus.

For two pass encoding, with h246 codecs, it takes a time to encode a big file. In windows 7 it may take a bit more time, coz aero environment uses a portion of ram already. If you apply the basic theme and then encode, it might be a bit faster.

At the same time ... the larger the encoding time, the better the output quality .

if i delete all what happens next time i start the laptop dont i need them and how did they get there

The all programs are there ... you can open them whenever you want. Deleting form the startup tab will prevent those programs to start automatically with windows, and to run in the background, always. None of these programs are that important. !

It will enhance your computers performance, and will not do any harm. I have only three programs there ... Avast , and two desktop customization programs like objectdock and rainmeter.

great will give it a go

a bit of a cheek i know but i posted this in the network section but never realy got a reslove wondered if you had any idea

ive got a tablet that im trying to connect it to my windows 7 laptop with out the use of a usb cord ive enabled file sharing on the tablet and laptop.when i type in the ip adress on the laptop it shows a screen with 2 folders certs and media this is correct up to now,when i try to open the media folder it hangs for about 3 mins then gives the error 0x0070035 file name not known check spelling 0r sometimes media does not have permision to use this network resource contact admin to see if you have access permision specified network name not available.
ive connected it to a old xp laptop with no problems at all.
ive been trying fix this problem for about 2 weeks and its driving me mad now.
