Help Reversing AOS SSA Changes

[Gourcuff]

Hello all, I made some changes to a machine some time ago via Advanced System Optimizer > System & Security Advisor...

that I need reversing but don't know how apart from reinstalling XP. I don't have AOS installed and it doesn't have a reserve option on those settings/'fixes'. One of the 'fixes' was to unload unused DLL/programs I think so I could have say a program open but minimized and after a while the computer makes it pretty much dead until I reopen it, maximize from minimize. This takes a fair few second which is annoying, it isn't instant access and obviously while loading up again it lags. I don't know exactly what changes I done via ASO Fixer I'd like to avoid reinstalling XP if possible. System specs are ok, everything responsive when in use its when I either leave the program/page untouched minimized for a while or walk away from the machine for a while then return. I remember it wasn't like that prior to the changes. Reason why its been ages since I did the changes to know wanting to revert back is this machine is pretty much a test machine, I wasn't too bothered but now its getting on my nerves. The machine is running XP Home 32bit SP3.

Thanks,

Gourcuff

to be honest most of these optimise/clean-up tools are snake oil and cause more problems
than they fix


Just had a thought , system restore point ?

Some of the tweaks are worth doing but some as you rightly say cause more problems than good. I was trying stuff out. it was done a long long time ago but i didnt bother getting round to trying to fix it. I can't restore because it was done a long time ago and I've cleaned restore points to save space. I'd prefer if possible not to reinstall.

could i reverse the tweaks via

?

edit: I've just deleted this reg,

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AlwaysUnloadDLL]

Either system restore or do a repair install to replace the system files.
