Increase the Speed of a PC That Uses Windows Vista

A computer is more fun to use when it rarely hits a high speed bump or crashes into a guard rail. When spending more money on a PC, either new or old, is not an option, a more practical approach is necessary to achieve that increase in speed. Here are some tips.

  1. Use Windows Defender to see start-up programs. You can run Windows Defender to stop unneeded programs that consumes resources too much.

    In the Search Field at your Start Menu, type “Defender”, select the program in the Menu and then go for Tools and Software Explorer. In the Category pop-up, select Currently Running and select any program you want to close. Then click End Process to close it.

  2. Change your search indexing options. By default, Windows Vista indexes files constantly to make file searches faster but this can be a waste of resources if you have a limited space of RAM or slow processor. Disabling this feature could give you a quick speed boost.

    Right click on the Start Button and select properties. Find the System Administrative Tools and select Don’t Search for Files, and then click OK. Occasionally, it is also recommended to run Indexing; otherwise your searches will take longer.

  3. Simplify your settings. Changing the Appearance Setting could also give you the dramatic boost you want, but it also means losing one of the best features of Windows Vista, the Glassy Aero Look.

    Right Click on the desktop and select Personalize. Click Windows Color and Appearance and click the Open Classic option. Select Windows Vista Basic and choose Apply. Tip: You can enable Aero when you don’t need the maximum speed and turn it off just when you need it. ...
