Hey Youtube. Here is my Part one on how to make your vista computer faster.

---NOTE: This may not be the same for XP or Windows 7.
---As Of now I will NOT make videos for Windows 7. Because I do not have a windows 7 computer.
---I will not be doing XP because in the next 3 years XP will be gone.

Here are the brief descriptions for the devices. If you have anymore you know of, feel free to post them with a description.

  • not too bad. but your behind the times with vista.

    you listed a bunch of accessibility helpers, but you neglected to mention things to speed boot time (IE, system profiles, allow booting to have use of dual or quad core instead of single core), or defragmentation

    or, disabling services most users wont use to free usable resources.

    there are a plethora of things you could add

    you could also add in a bit on registry cleansing, and how to use the system in a way that will make it faster for longer.

  • Yeah.. I plan on making a series about this kind of stuff. Realising one a week.

  • Another way to get to the System Configuration dialog is to go to Run and type in "MSCONFIG"

    Great video! 5/5

  • Thanks. Feel free to subscribe. Ill add that.

  • Speed up Windows Vista by;

    -- cleaning system junk

    -- optimizing computer services

    -- optimizing internet

    -- repairing registry

    -- defraging registry

    -- clearing browsers junk

    do these things with some secure tool such as Intel Software Partner Reginout.

  • Get Ccleaner! And use your Aero theme... :-)

see all

  • How to make windows vista 300% faster first of all format your hard drive then get a genuine copy of windows xp pro and do a fresh install once installed and up and running you will notice the huge difference in speed ease of use etc etc no bleeding windows popping up every 2 minutes asking you if thats what you want to do and then it asks you again even if you say yes......load of rubbish would rather go back to windows millenium edition and the same goes for windows 7 sort it out microsoft...

  • dude that windows looks like mine! Are you using Windows Vista Starter?!

  • You should change them in the services instead of configuration.

  • DONE ! :D

  • "windows vista" and "faster" is an oxymoron.
