Windows Vista Computer running poorly

Hi stan1622. Try following these steps to make your computer run faster:

1. Click Start< Control Panel< Add/Remove Programs and uninstall any programs that you don't use.
2. In Control Panel under Programs and Features click the link that says turn windows features on or off and uncheck all the checkboxes except for Games, Microsoft .NET Framework 3.0, Windows Ultimate Extras and click ok when you are done. (If you use a Windows Feature that is listed then don't uncheck its checkbox)
3. Download and run ATF Cleaner and select all the checkboxes in the program then hit the empty selected button, http://majorgeeks.com/ATF_Cleaner_d4949.html.
4. Disable any Windows Services that you don't use by following Black Vipers Services Guide.
5. Download and run Auslogics Disk Defrag from here, http://auslogics.com/en/software/disk-defrag/download.
6. Do you have Windows Vista Service Pack 2 installed? If you don't then you should install it since the service pack will fix bugs in Vista and speed up the operating system. Download it from here.
7. Try shutting down all backround programs that are running in the system tray in the taskbar. Does your computer still slow down after shutting down all backround programs?

Let me know if your computer is faster after performing the above steps.

 

Your Welcome. Let me know how it goes.
