How much RAM does it have? . . . Have you installed all the Windows Updates? . . Vista needs a lot of ram to run well ( at least 2 Gig) and the updates seem to improve performance and stability considerably

You have no active anti-virus running . . get one soon!

You have some HS running at boot that is not necessary . . you can stop them in msconfig startup:

GoogleDesktop.exe
\iTunesHelper.exe
LCDMon.exe
LCDClock.exe
LCDMedia.exe
LCDCountdown.exe
LCDPOP3.exe
QTTask.exe

Dells/HP/Acer/Asus etc all come setup the same from factory: full of crapware.

Take for example my desktop running Vista, on idle: 33 processes, take a client's brand new Asus laptop I have next to me: 68.

Reinstalling Vista using an install disk rather doing the factory restore process would make it many many times faster. I really don't understand why OEMs load their machines up with so much crap...

KHPower · Jan 29, 2008

True! i have found a clean install is so much better then using oem disks that load a bunch of useless crap on your computer , however if the OEm disk has software like WinDVD or other cool programs you would have to purchase it can be essential. Another thing you could do is delete and uninstall some of the pre loaded stuff.

I agree with the ram , I say 1 gig at least and 2 gigs for optimal performance. I dont understand why these computer mfr's put out these laptops or desktops with so little under the hood and running Vista?:4-dontkno

kirkace2003 · Jan 30, 2008

Thanks again for all who reply.

My pc says i have 3.18 gigs as for the antivirus i was thinking avg free any suggestions?

BlueAce · Jan 30, 2008

Hmm well I have Windows Vista also and have re-installed it 5 times and it still keeps acting up. I have a lot of RAM and gigs. 1013 MB and it's pretty fast, but who cares? What's the point in having a fast computer if your OS sucks ***? Excuse my language but Windows Vista sucks! Just stick to XP. Me? I have no choice but to use Vista. It just sucks plain and simple. And AVG isn't all that good in my opinion, but go ahead and use it it's better than having nothing.

Old Rich · Jan 30, 2008

1 Gig of RAM is not enough for Vista . . 2 will make a huge difference in performance. . why do you have no choice?

Old Rich · Jan 30, 2008

AVG would be my recomendation . . Free or paid, depending on how much you like to customize it.

Have you install all Windows Updates? . . they usually make a big difference in performance and stability

kirkace2003 · Jan 30, 2008

thanks guys, i do believe its all updated. i have no choice but vista because this is replacement pc for my old laptop and i dont have windows xp.....Vista for gamers isnt exactly my ideal pc but hey its sitll an XPS for free

KHPower · Jan 31, 2008

Actually I just did a Vista system on a Bloodline motherboard using Patriot extreme 2 gig stick and its faster than many that I put together around the same specs.

My system I am writing on now only has 2 gigs in dual channel and Vista Ultimate fly's on this thing.

jb_ · Jan 31, 2008

I had Photoshop with some fairly low res images (6MP) open and not many layers, as well as FF, MSN, foobar2000, Windows Mail and some other basic things, 2.1GB of ram used.

2GB isn't enough for anything serious in Vista if you want to avoid swapping. It does keep it's interactivity very well under high loads though, much better than XP.

Vista an os? more like eye candy
