I am new to Vista Home Basic. I find it very slow. Are there "tweaks" to
increase speed ?

Are you applying at least double the published minimum resources?
Your question can not be answered intelligently until you state what you are
trying to run Vista on. If you tried to upgrade from Windows 98 (on a Win98
era computer) you will definitely have problems. If you tried to upgrade
from Windows XP on an XP era computer you "may" have problems - unless you
upgraded your hardware also.
Now, how about a bit more information on your part?

Format & install XP, and/or your favorite Linux distro.
Vista Home Basic is already the fastest version of Vista, because it
cannot use alot of the bloat of Vista.

There are a few. Mostly more RAM. Vista will never be faster than XP. I was
a fool and bought a laptop with Vista. At least Windows 7 has been
announced. Hopefully Gates still has some programmers to speed the present
HOG up.

XP is faster than 9x on every computer that have devices that don't have
9x drivers, and there is a long list of devices that don't.
Does anyone know of any computer hardware device that has Vista drivers,
but no XP drivers?

Vista needs considerably more powerful hardware than XP did. My guess
is that you were sold a machine underpowered for Vista.
In particular, almost everyone needs at least 2GB for adequate
performance with Windows Vista. Do you have that much? If not, forget
about tweaks, and upgrade your RAM.
