so who here can tell me how to make vista faster without adding ram? i know that ther are alot of start up programs that dont need to be ran at first...

can someone help!!!

 

delete vista....
install Xp...

problem solved

 

how much ram do you have? I don't know anything about computers but I heard that you should have at least 2gb with vista. I got 4 in my dell laptop and it runs quick

 

ah i found what you were talking about by clicking around. Click on the start button and where it says "start search" type msconfig. Then click on Startup and I remember you don't want to uncheck anything that has to do with windows so just uncheck things like itunes, quicktime, adobe... etc. Don't know if it will speed it up much though

 

im going to school right now for computers and am a++ certified belive me vista is a bad os windows just threw one together cuz apple came out with os x (leopard) the best thing to do is down grade to xp i recomend xp media center that what i run and have no problems at all with it

 

i really like vista. im just pissed that it takes so long to load. i dont wanna downgrade to xp cause i cant find all of the drivers for my computer.

I have an M1330 with 2 gigs of ram, a 2.2 GHz Core 2 Dou. once it gets started up, it is pretty quick, not as quick as xp is, but for all of the fancy stuff, its pretty quick.

in the winter i may sell this one and get a macbook pro.

 

ok then yea id say just run msconfig and take **** off start up but in teh was as going towards mac book go for it i have heard nothoing but good come from mac i wnatt here new mac book air

 

the new air is crap. its is just stripped down of everything. its the most basic computer you can get. at least get a normal macbook.

 

I not had any problems with my Vista. I stopped a lot of the startup programs, but I also don't shut the computer down very often. I have it setup to hibernate once i close the lid. It makes it start up real quick when you need it and you don't have to keep shutting down and restarting yoru computer.

 

yes i didnt no which one i wanted just lookin for something cuz im gana be startin college in a year and i dont want to take my xps

 

yea, i dont shutdown vista either. its just sometimes it takes so long for some programs to load.
