VISTA hog @ startup

[Guest]

I don't have a lot of stiuff on my new VHPremium. But I've ntoted that my Win
98, and XP, when started at the same time with Vista load faster - much
faster. And they are plugged with software. That aside, afer signing into
VISTA, and the desktop settles down, the Vista is beatiung the hard drive for
almost 6 minutes. So much so that dragging window, opening a window, moving
cursor is al slow and jerky. Opening a window is delayed by 2 seconds after
clicking on it.

I used TaskManager resource monitor and watched the details in the Harddrive
part which is hard to do because the stuff in there keeps changing but for
the most part, the biggest hog is RegBack_???? several RegBack files running
and one with almost 2 gig of read/write. Once those files get over their
caffine rush, I get some semblance of the system control back.

I've managed to disable the very resource hungry glutten of Indexing but
worse is the random sudden interuption of work when Vista decides to go
balistic and start runing the Regback again. I can live with a busted Reg,
and back it my self sometime if only there was a way to stop the Vista system
hog from jumping in when ever it randomly decides.

It's not in taskmanger, startup, or old standby MSCONFIG. Where can I
disable, or at least selectivly run that whole thing instead of at the start.
Start should me now, not sometime later

I have to sit back and monitor the hard drive lights and wait till it
settles before I can much of anything.

Add more memory, Vista says it wil lrun in 512meg of memory, that is
BS, it RUNS but not so people can use it. 2 gig seems to be a good
happy point for the 32 bit, regular, version of Vista. It will accept
3 gig but at 4 gig it chokes horribly.

I have 2 Gig of RAM, 250 Gig drive runing on 2,8 GHZ Dual Core processor
under the direct control and attention of Vista 32 Hiome premium. I just
bought this thing - it only came with Vista - believe me, I looked for a new
computer WITHOUT Vista and there was none. I'm not adding more RAM to
soemthing that should be working better than Win98SE and XP - both of which,
are faster, more reliable and have a lot more on the, with less RAM. What
was gates thinking about other than making software more secure for the
developer and more grif for the consumer - certainly - efficiencly wasn't on
his list of things to include in Vista.

If you already have 2 gig of ram and are still having those issues,
you have a system that needs some IT help. You could have a virus,
trojan or whatever doing its reporting stuff. Try unplugging the
internet cable and see if you get popups on the screen during the
bootup process, if so you should be able to figure out the start fo
the problem. NO WAY a 2 gig system with that much HD space, as long as
you have about 50 gig free, should be that slow. Vista is a memory and
HD hog, but is much faster as a result. It swaps everything to memory
or HD if you don't have enough memory and you have PLENTY of memory.
