Vista Really slow, what could be a problem !
I have very decent configuration Dell machine as below
P4 3.4 HGz, 4 GB RAM 500 GB Hard Disk 256 MB Graphics card. My mahcine is really slow, loads slow, works slow, etc. Earlier, I had Windows XP Professional SP2 on the same configuraiton and it was working great...now Vista disappointed me. Also I get those alerts (Do you want to contunie? ) very often...how should I tune my Vista machine for better performance...I am using Vista Ultimate... Thanks |

Re: Vista Really slow, what could be a problem !
I am using Microsoft Live One care 90 days free trial....so should I
uninstall that for better performance... I guess Windows XP Professional was the biggest successful OS in Microsoft's history....really did well ....Even I felt Windows 2003 better than Vista... Another thing, I still dont understand the start menu advantages in Vista...what brings benefit over the earlier mechanism....the Vista one is really confusing ....
