1. Top 10 Tips For A Faster Vista PC
1-Click-fix
*Tame visual performance*
The huge visual leap Microsoft made between the XP and Vista operating systems -- the
attractive see-through taskbar and translucent window frames -- means PCs with a slow
video card will struggle to deliver the same speed you may be used to. Turn off the fancy
graphics for improved performance on entry-level or older machines. Right click the
desktop, select Personalize -> Windows Color and Appearance and turn off transparency.
Plain, but faster.
*Moderate your Sidebar*
The Sidebar looks great but as with the new visual features in Vista, it will chew your
CPU and take processing time away from the programs you use frequently. Disable the
Sidebar by right-clicking it, select Properties -> Clear Sidebar. If you can't bring yourself
to get rid of the sidebar altogether, just remove the applications you don't use.
*Disable search index*
The auto-complete feature in your search tool is a handy add-on, but you may not use
search enough to warrant the processing power it uses. You can turn it off by following
Start -> Computer, right click the C: hard drive icon and clear the Index This Drive
checkbox.
*Disable startup programs*
Every PC has a host of programs that open automatically when you boot up. Most of
them are important, but some of them you don't need right away when you start the
computer. Open Windows Defender and select Tools -> Software Explorer to reveal the
programs Windows opens automatically at start up. Those you're sure you don't need to
open overtime, click and select Disable.
*An extra 800MB*
If you've updated Vista with <a href="http://technet.microsoft.com/en-
us/windows/bb738089.aspx">Service Pack 1</a>, you're happy with SP1's performance
and you won't need to remove it in future, you can use Microsoft's tool to remove the
uninstall files, that take 800MB of space on your PC. Go to Start -> Search and enter
vsp1cln.exe into the search box. This command will automatically remove the files from
your computer, giving you an extra bit of performance.
*Tell Vista what programs get the red carpet*
If you notice long delays to open a program, it's possible you have a previously opened
app running on an endless loop, not shutting down. This eats up all your processing
power without you realizing. To fix this, open Task Manager, right click on the program
and select Set Priority -> Below Normal. This gives your other programs priority for your
PC's processing resources.
*System Restore*
2. You can return your PC to a previous point in time you've set with System Restore. This
feature will also set its own time points, for example, when you install an important
program like antivirus, or every time you turn your PC on. Run System Restore at Start >
Control Panel > System and Maintenance > System > System Protection > System
Restore. You can also find out more about System Restore <a

*Or turn off System Restore*
Vista's method of setting restore points is great to wipe your disk clean of any bugs you
may have picked up in the past week or so, that may be slowing your PC down. System
Restore takes up a lot of space to keep the disk drive state in memory. If you backup
regularly to hard drive or CD, you can turn off System Restore by following the same
path above and selecting the checkbox 'Turn off System Restore'.
*Check your firewall*
It's possible a slow PC is the victim of a malicious program or virus, sometimes called
'malware' or 'spyware'. Spyware keeps tabs on the information on your computer and may
transmit it to thieves to use your credit card data or similar personal information. Check
now if your firewall is turned on. Follow Start - Control Panel - Network and Internet
Connections - Windows Firewall.
Spyware will slow your PC down significantly and if you've got it, you should get rid of
it immediately with an antivirus program. Click here for recommendations.
*Clear your registry*
The registry is like your computer's library that stores your programs. With time, as some
programs are added and removed, and everyday programs opened more frequently than
others, your registry ends up disorganized with files scattered everywhere. An old or
cluttered registry will cause crashes and blue screen lags.
