System speed improve

[Guest]

Hi there!
My computer is getting slower every time I turn it on if I compare when
vista was just installed. I have removed many startup programs, but when
vista loads, it takes more than a minute.

How can I improve my system????

Defrag, Tuneup Utilities, Advanced System Optimizer, get rid of
non-essential desktop items, buy more memory, buy a faster processor, adjust
display properties for performance not style?

Hi,

Apparently you haven't disabled the right startup programs. Look to your
antivirus software, expecially if you are running a Norton/Symantec product,
as overly aggressive settings tend to bog the machine down.

there are a lot of things that you can do...
I have been able to make vista far faster than out of the box...
However I must point out that even a super tweaked vista is slower than
a bloated XP.. lol

I must make a tutorial some time soon about this..

for the time being you can disable some services..

but make a restore point before you do anything and be careful with these
tweaks

Get rid of Vista and get XP, not meant as a joke

Also backup utilities taking their snapshot

Well, I have an Athlon X2 3800+, 2 Gb Ram, 320 Gb HDD.... i guess it's a good
piece of PC i got....

Probably the startup programs, but cheap memory can have quite an effect
also. 2gig is certainly adequate for most but low bandwidths and timings
can really hurt.
