Hi All,

I am running windows vista ultimate and it is slow as hell. I have two performance meters on the desktop and they are running at 50 % with absolutely nothing running. I know vista is ram heavy but this is a joke. I have 2 meg of ram and I cannot watch videos for more than 10 secs before it freezes and takes an age to catch up. Switching between pages takes an age. Is there any processes I can halt to help?. This computer is about 10 months old.

 

Cheers.

lol i take it you mean 2 GIGs of RAM, otherwise having only 2 megs of RAM could be your problem! ;)

what cpu do you have?

Throw vista in the bin and get yourself a copy of XP as vista is very ram hungry i run 4gb ram and still find vista very slow compared to XP and i am running a FX-74 4x4 platform computer with 4gb ram.

Also have you tried scanning for spywere and virus etc.

also do away with proformance meters as they use processing power as well as ram.

whats the specs on the pc. also disable aero and dreamscape if you have it installed

im running an amd 64 4400 duel core processor , 2 gig of ram and vista ultimate and its fast as you like! you deffo have a problem!!

Hello i own a computer repair company how lucky......you are..

first goto the search command and type run

in the run command type MSCONFIG ..

in the appalet startup at the bottom it has a disable all tick box

tick it and then go to the services tab and tick hide all microsoft services once this is done tick the box disable all ..

ok now your almost there ..

reboot the computer and see how it runs..

you will find it rapid compared to normal....

however you have stopped all services and programs from starting so some functionality will be lost ..

make sure in msconfig you have your virus scanner running i suggest AVG as most others have a resident shield running constantly if you have mcafee get rid of it also avast is terrible for hogging system and norton...

if you find somethings arent working just use msconfig to switch things on and off use your common sense when looking at the program names and start the ones you use..

also you could right click on desktop and go toproperties and diplay and run classic also check your swap file ill explain this later if your still having probs after stopping all the shite running ...

hope this helps

that will be 40 quid please cheers..

also you could get ccleaner from download.com and run this it will clear of alot of junk aswell and if you want a super fast browser download SAFARI by apple use this instead of ie7 3 times as fast and looks cool ..

 

i need some balance bar o rings help me

Oh and to get to run you have to press start and type run in search below all programs, i find that the easy way of doing it..

 

If you need anymore help just pm me

What a team!!. Cheers guys. I'll give it a go tonight and let you know.

 

RESPECT :bow::bow:

Once you shut down all the services the majority of programs with specify which service it needs running in order to start. A few badly progamed applications will not.

 

Get yourself cleaned up in terms of spyware and viruses, then also tidy up your hard drive and perform a defrag. All this helps to speed up a little.

Hey, worked a treat. Cheers matey :D

 

How bcan I help with your O rings?.

I would recommend CCleaner for removing all the old crap from systems and also as an aid for cleaning up the startup.
